What should the USD-SDSU football rivalry be called? (POLL)

[kiyoat]

I'm going to add a poll to this thread, but since I can't change it once it is made, I thought it would be good to nominate some poll options first:

This is what I would put so far:

1. The SD Showdown Series
2. The Interstate Series
3. The Rushmore Trophy
4. The Roy C. Davis Little Brown Jug Trophy
5. The "Pants" Game
6. The "Joose Cup" Game
?

So the thread is open for nominations....

According to the 1963 article I just read, the USD-SDSU game was always the Hobo Days/ Dakota Days game at that time.  I thought that was interesting.

The SD Showdown, which has now been replaced with the Interstate Series, is an all-sports series. It is not and was never intended to be football only.

I would like to see the football game be played for the Roy C Davis Little Brown Jug. It has some history behind it and Davis Pharmacy is still in business in Vermillion. That being said, I graduated from USD in 1976 and never heard anything about the Jug until a few years ago.

It's not going to get a name at this point. Both schools decided to sell the name to a sponsor instead. It's possible that may be why the brown jug has to stay buried, can't take away from the sponsorship.

I attended SDSU in the late 70s and early 80s. I also had not heard of this jug. I do remember the losing student association president surrendering his or her trousers at midfield at the conclusion of the game.

I have met a few members of the Davis family over the years. I think the pharmacy is still in the Davis family (unless I missed a recent change.)

They were always known for their customer service and loyalty to customers and community. Vermillion is fortunate to still have a locally owned pharmacy. I would be their customer if I lived there.
