Land Grant Week!

Yes the only trophy ever designed by a drunken George Perles - the ugliest trophy this side of the Friends of Coal Bowl or the abandoned Cy-Hawk Trophy. The one the only....

The Land Grant Trophy.



Now for you youngsters here's the backstory.

When Penn State joined the Big Ten in 1993 George Perles volunteered MSU to be the Nittany Lions new rival. That actually wasn't too bad an idea - they were an established power and MSU needed an end of the year annual game. What was a bad idea was the fucking trophy.

They retroactively added all the pre Big Ten games to the trophy and the series stands at 14-14-1

I want to win that trophy so bad!

Here is a picture of the trophy for the uninitiated.

That CyHawk trophy was pretty fucking awesome.

Bump. Never forget.

Remember how we had a three TD lead inaugural game and lost like 38-37 or something? So much fun.

Damnit, Floyd. Too soon.

Fuck Penn State - got my car towed there in 95.

Weighs too much at 100%.  I like to keep it below 50.  Lots lighter.

And works much more efficiently, too.

Looks like an architect's building model that the City of East Lansing approved and then twenty years later it never got built so they gave it to Delaney and told him to dispose of it.
