    Golden Boot: Arkansas-LSU

    Commander-in Chief Trophy: Navy-Army-Air Force

    Illibuck: Ohio State-Ilinois

    Little Brown Jug:Michigan-Minnesota

    just to name a few...

    The Illibuck is cool, because it used to be a live turtle, until he died in the 30s or 40s. I am interested to see how many are out there in places other than the big ten. I know some have them, but I wasn't aware LSU/Arkansas was one, especially since they only recently have been in the same conference. Man, I love college football.
