Michigan vs Minnesota is one of the oldest rivalries in all of college football. The series dates all the way back to 1892. This rivalry has an extra special meaning to it because the winner of the game gets "The Little Brown Jug".

As the story goes, legendary Michigan football head coach Fielding Yost left behind a water jug when the two teams first played in 1903.
