Milk Can (College Football)

Milk Can (College Football)

The Milk Can is awarded to each season's winner of the Battle of the Milk Can, a college football game between the Fresno State Bulldogs and the Boise State Broncos. The team who wins the Milk Can gets to keep it for a year. The trophy was created in 2005, but was not ready in time for the annual match in Fresno, which was won by the Bulldogs. It made its first appearance in 2006, when the victorious Broncos carried it off the field.

History of the trophy

The idea for a trophy as the prize for the newly arranged interstate rivalry was hatched by two separate dairy groups that decided to get involved with their local football programs. California (No. 1) and Idaho (No. 4) are two of the nation's leading dairy producers. [cite web| url=http://www.idahostatesman.com/sports/story/193972.html| title=BSU, Fresno State starting to latch on to the 'Milk Can' tradition| accessdate=2008-06-14] The South Valley Dairy Group began raising money for Bulldog football in 2001; the Bronco Dairy Boosters began contributing to Boise State in 2005. Two dairymen and friends in these organizations, Dan Van Grouw of Meridian and Roger Fluegel of Visalia, put forward the idea of a traveling trophy and began the administrative process. There was positive feedback from the teams, coaches, and fans, but an 'administrative changeover' kept the trophy off the field for the Bulldog's 2005 victory, though the 27-7 victory is the first listed on the can.
