I’ve received this question over the years. And given the recent success of the Gophers, it’s coming up again this season. I’ve been asked on Twitter, at a recent speaking event, and via reader Bryan through email:
If Michigan and Minnesota meet in the Big Ten Championship Game, would the Little Brown Jug also be on the line?
Short answer: Yes. It should be on the line whenever we play in my opinion. Even if we played twice in a scenario where we met in the regular season then again in the B1G title game or a playoff game.
