The obvious matchups for us (at least in my opinion) are p u , Illinois , and Northwestern...
We could discontinue the Old Brass Spittoon game (M$U) and nobody would miss it other than a few of us old timers... Nationally you'd be hard pressed to find many who know it even exists...
Creating two new trophies for the IL and NW games shouldn't be too tough and have to be more interesting than a spittoon...
The IL Trophy could be "The Split Rail" for Lincoln having formed his integrity here and his political career there...
The NW Trophy could be "The Steel Rail"* for the old Monon train line that ran from Bloomington to Chicago... *(Someone can probably come up with something better and I encourage the effort...)😎
**Perhaps a better IU vs NW trophy might be "The University Seal Trophy" made up of each of our respective school seals cut into two limestone flagstones making up each side of it, 1' x 1' x 1/2" deep, and framed in old rough cut oak, with three 8" long chains hanging beneath it 3.5 " apart, with multiple engravable brass placards hung on them (whoever wins gets the date along with the score engraved on the respective placard on both sides of it...)...
Whoever has possession of it hangs it on a wall with their respective Seal facing out...**
