The Miner's Cup is the trophy awarded to the winner of the college football game between the Northern Michigan University (NMU) Wildcats and the Michigan Technological University (Michigan Tech/MTU) Huskies. There has been a rivalry between the two teams since 1920, but the tradition of a "traveling trophy" between the two schools has only been around since 2002; Tech has won the trophy 19 out of a possible 22 times since the tradition was begun.[1]
