[Ed. Mandatory reading for Jug Week. This post discusses whether the original jug that Michigan bought (likely on October 30, 1903) and Oscar Munson found (on November 1 or 2, 1903, is the same jug that will be on the field this Saturday night. If you haven’t read it I think you’ll like it.]
One of the critical questions I asked when I started research was this: Is the jug that Michigan equipment manager Jon Falk has tucked away the same crock that was purchased by U-M student manager Tommy Roberts in Minneapolis back in 1903 and returned to Fielding Yost in 1909?
