The Littlest Brown Jug
Here is the "Littlest Brown Jug" that I received as part of my reward from the Kickstarter Campaign for John Falk's retirement party on the MGopatio. It is a 1 gallon jug from Red Wing. It was originally unfinished. I met Jill Gordon, the lady who currently paints the scores on the jug, at the party. I commissioned her to paint this smaller version of THE Jug. It is AMAZING! She meticulously duplicated the M's and score columns. The colors are awesome. The bottom of the jug is stamped "100th meeting between Michigan and Minnesota 5th, Oct. 2013. It is hard to say which is my more prized possession, this or my stuffed wolverine. Superlatives do not exist to describe how cool this looks. Now I need to make a shelf that deserves to hold this beauty.

I would have to hit rock bottom. Even when I die, my 3 girls are indoctrinated enough in Michigan that they would fight to the death to defend it. I don't know how they could price it.

If you showed those pictures without saying it was the little brown jug replica, everyone would have thought it was pictures of the original little brown jug. You could probably get some $ if you ever sold it on ebay!
I wonder what the plan is once we run out of space to place new scores on the little brown jug? Will they just have to write over some of the older dates? That would be quite the dilemma in about 20 years!

There is still plenty of space on the jug, both below the Michigan M and above and below the Minnesota M.
