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. The rivalry has been around since 1920, but the tradition of a "traveling trophy" between the two schools has only been around since 2002; Tech has won the trophy for seven out of a possible ten times since the tradition was begun.

—Blaise Cendrars (1887–1961)
“It is surely easier to confess a murder over a cup of coffee than in front of a jury.”
