I keep seeing tweets about 1967 being the last time the Gophers had Floyd and the Jug. Not to be "that guy", but it was actually 1978 (which was also the last time we held the Jug, Floyd, and the Axe). We lost to Iowa in 1977, but then beat Michigan and Wisconsin. But we played Iowa on Oct 14th, 1978 and beat them, which gave us all 3 trophies. We then lost to Michigan on Oct 28th, so the stay with all 3 only lasted for 2 weeks. And then lost to Wisconsin later that year. But otherwise, yes, 1967 was the last time we beat them both in the same year.

This is why I love the Gopherhole.
 

Good information and it's been a long, long time hasn't it.

Minnesota has won six games at home (6-0) in a season for the first time since 1977.

For you Gopher history buffs like me, 1967 was the last time the Gophers went unbeaten at home. Let's do it again with a win next week!
 

When was the last time we had the jug, bell, and floyd? I thought thats what the 1967 year was?

Can't wait to get the Axe and make history.

2014. This year is the first time that the Gophers have had the Little Brown Jug, Governor's Victory Bell and Floyd of Rosedale at the same time.

So the last time we won the Jug and Floyd in the same season was...1967.

No he right. Gophers loss to Michigan State at home in 1977. 1967 was the last season they were unbeaten at home.

I didn't recall that loss and stand corrected. Beat OSU!

True. 1977 has the last season where they won 6 home games. They won the first 4 home games in 1977 before losing to MSU. They beat Illinois and the Badgers to get to 6 home wins. Finished the season at 7-5.
