- Weak keep. Seems that played since 1911 and is recorded as one of the oldest rivalries in Michigan football history is a reasonably clear assertion of notability. Agree that referencing is weak -- a general reference is identified as an external link, so it is inaccurate to say is is unreferenced, though there is obviously room for improvement. That it is an orphan is also problematic, but not anything that can't be fixed. Seems the jug is one of the first in a long tradition as detailed http://www.mhsaa.com/resources/library/trophy game.pdf here]. older ≠ wiser 13:12, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Based on my research, this is a 100-year rivalry that has received substantial news coverage. I will undertake to add citations over the next few hours. Cbl62 (talk) 01:59, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Cbl62's improvements pushed me over the fence on this one. ]
