t this time of the year, college football can seem
like peewee soccer: Everybody gets a trophy.
Players will compete for some of the oldest
and oddest hardware in the sport.
Purdue and Indiana will battle for the Old Oaken Buck-
et, which dates to 1925. At stake when Minnesota and Iowa

Telephone Trophy. Half red for the Cyclones, half yellow for
the Tigers, the trophy dates to 1960 and might be the only
time these iPhone generation players see a rotary ver-
sion in their lives.
