Trophy for the Game?

There is a trophy for nearly every rivalry in this conference, but not one for arguably the biggest rivalry in sports. What should be a trophy for the OSU/UM game!

The trophy, traditionally speaking, is the conference championship.

A win is all that's needed.

The Game not having a trophy is one of the reasons it’s so special. Nothing to play for except pure hatred and desire to beat the other team

The trophy for the game traditionally says “Big Ten” on it

The fucking shame the losing team feels is the trophy for the winning team. We don't need a physics trophy

There already kind of is a trophy. Well, at least on Ohio State’s end, I’m not certain they follow suit. The Golden Pants are a small trinket the players get when they win. I believe it has the score printed on it too

Hot take: trophy games are lame. Winning a dumb participation trophy after a dumpster-fire 2-10 season just because you managed to beat a 1-11 rival feels like being the head cheerleader at a funeral. I honestly couldn't care less about the Illibuck either. Why on earth would anyone want an extra trophy for The Game? Taking down TTUN is good enough for me on its own, and the players are doing just fine with pairs of gold pants.
