The year is 1950 and Michigan State has just had a big win over Notre Dame. The following week the Spartans are playing Indiana which is seen as a potential letdown game.
The Michigan State class president, concerned that the Spartans might overlook the Hoosiers, goes to an antique store and buys a brass spittoon for $25 and announces that the winner of the Indiana Michigan State game will be awarded the brass spitoon.
I have no idea if or where the brass platoon is displayed. Indiana has not won consecutive game against the Spartans in 53 years since they beat them three consecutive years from 1967 to 1969.
That's it. I'm not making this up.
