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.

Famous quotes containing the words miner and/or cup:
“Many a miner has gone
into the deep pit
to receive the dust of a kiss,
an ore-cell.”

No one touches the water of life.
It has no taste
And though it refreshes absolutely
It is a cup that must also pass
Until everybody
Gets some advantage....”
