Naming THE word or phrase every Big Ten school should trademark





Hey. It'll get clicks:

Minnesota: Ski-U-Mah​

There likely isn’t much concern about Marc Jacobs trying to trademark this phrase, which only makes sense if you’re a Golden Gopher. We just want to make sure it’s covered in case someone forgot to apply for a trademark when the phrase was coined by Gopher rugby players John W. Adams and Win Sargent in 1884.

Go Gophers!!
 




If Minnesota were to trademark a common word, it would probably be...SEVEN? NINE? FOUR? These are the various number of national championships attributed to Gopher Football, which makes the program the 2nd or 3rd most historically successful program among long-standing Big Ten teams.

A lot of folks don't know, but this program is the 3rd most successful of all time in Big Ten football*, behind only Ohio State and Michigan, and it's not that close.

*nebraska has some nattys too, but who knows how many they would have won if they were in the Big Ten all that time and not the softer Big 8. The Big Ten West brought a screeching halt to 100 years of nebraska football tradition so they might just be another Indiana had they grown up here.
 

Wisconsin:

"It ain't a party unless you're unconscious at 10:30 AM."
 



Go in with the Vikings and patent our feelings as Minnesota sports fans.
“It’s 5 o’clock somewhere!”

But then we'd have to change it to "Eight!, Ten!, or Five!" when we win our next one and you just know there would be some that would not use the new one, only because there were an old one...you know?, the "dammit,-why-do-we-have to-change-things!" crowd. It would all be confusing.
