If you are an American college football fan you know about the great rivalries where certain football teams plan an annual game for some "trophy" such as the Little Brown Jug or Floyd of Rosedale but here comes one I have never heard of until this week. The "Book of Knowledge" is the trophy that Carleton College and Macalester College's football teams play for each year in Minnesota.
The game is set for September 15th at 6 pm at Macalester Stadium in St. Paul, Minnesota but I can't attend due to a wedding but I am marking the calendar for the 2008 season!!
The Book of Knowledge apparently is a "wooden book signaling supremacy among two of the state's top-ranked institutions of higher learning..............." so what could be better for a blog posting that combines two of the things I love in this world -- football and books!!
Such a trophy highlights the key concept we should all support on our campuses -- the student athlete.
