If you search for Little Brown Jug, you get sent to an article about a harness race. I think the football trophy (the grandfather of all rivalry trophies) should be the primary link, or at least lead to a disambiguation page.--RLent19:24, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In addition to theboilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent withfair use.
Please go tothe image description page and edit it to include afair use rationale. Using one of the templates atWikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

The oldest continuous college football rivalry is between Lehigh and Lafayette (uninterupted since 1897). This predates both claims of the Little Brown Jug and Territorial Cup. The Lehigh-Lafayette doesn't have a trophy, but is still an older rivalry ... this article should be updated to reflect this.Jrssr519:44, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
In the article, and in the University of Minnesota media guide, the jug is listed as "earthenware", and may actually be a a piece of "stoneware" crockery from Red Wing Pottery. Anyone have access to the Red Wing Collector's Society article on the Little Brown Jug? This might explain why it has held up for more than 100 years without any recorded breakings.Group29 (talk)14:13, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It's definitely made of stoneware, but some folks will argue that stoneware is a subclass of earthenware. On the issue of whether the jug survived, it's a interesting question and explored in detail hereLittle Brown Jug Lore VI: Is the Greatest Trophy in College Football a Fake?. On a few occasions Oscar Munson claimed it was damaged (handle broken) and in the 1960s before he died claimed it was replaced. I've tried, but I can't find any source or evidence that backs up Munson's claim beyond a reference in the Minnesota Daily that the jug was repaired in the early 1920s.
Speaking of composition, the photo of the jug in the display case is a replica.Gregdooley (talk)21:08, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Something on the jug's theft from Michigan's campus in I believe the 1940s and subsequent return and identification by a flaw would be nice.
Re: "the theft",Here's a good place to start. It has a blow by blow of what happened between 1931 and 1933 when the jug was missingGregdooley (talk)22:49, 6 May 2013 (UTC)gregdooley[reply]

Little Brown Jug (American football) →Michigan–Minnesota football rivalryMichigan–Minnesota football rivalry – This page talks about the rivalry and shows the entire history of it, so therefore it should be moved to this title.71.211.193.144 (talk)02:04, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
This article was moved fromLittle Brown Jug (American football) toMichigan–Minnesota football rivalry after an IP user requested the move and no discussion followed. The title should be reverted at this time. This series is commonly know at the "Little Brown Jug" game. It is not generally or commonly known as the Mich-Minn football rivalry. Further, the "Little Brown Jug" is one of the truly iconic and oldest (maybe the oldest) traveling trophies in the sport.Cbl62 (talk)19:56, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This requested move discussion has been open for almost three months, and there has been a clear consensus supporting the restoration of the original article title since February 1, 2015, with no further comments since then. In light of the circumstances, I have executed the requested move per the discussion above. The previous article title,Michigan–Minnesota football rivalry, which is also the standard title format for college football rivalry articles, now redirects to the present article title,Little Brown Jug (college football trophy).Dirtlawyer1 (talk)19:28, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
