The Miner's Cup is the trophy awarded to the winner of the college football game between the Northern Michigan University (NMU) Wildcats and the Michigan Technological University (Michigan Tech/MTU) Huskies. There has been a rivalry between the two teams since 1920, but the tradition of a "traveling trophy" between the two schools has only been around since 2002; Tech has won the trophy 18 out of a possible 21 times since the tradition was begun.[1]

History

[edit]

A rivalry between the two universities has been around since 1920.[2][3] Since then, they have met 96 times, with the series record at 51–41–5 in Michigan Tech's favor. The tradition of a "traveling trophy" did not begin until 2002, when Michigan Tech's Athletics Department and its Army ROTC Battalion combined to create it. The trophy itself is an antique miner's helmet mounted on a wooden base. The helmet was found at an antique store in the Houghton, Michigan area.[4]
