[NU Sports] The Battle for Lincoln's Lid

[Jim Leonard]

Fellow Wildcat Faithful,

I threw this idea out there somewhat jokingly, but I'm starting to think it has potential. I think NU and Illinois could come up with some sort of large stovepipe hat that could become the trophy that replaces the Sweet Sioux. Abe Lincoln is certainly the most recognized symbol of Illinois. 

I think it adds to the fun of the college rivalries to have silly trophies like the little brown jug and the old oaken bucket. 

Victory & Honor,
Jim
