Most Bizarre Traveling Trophies

[ethanm]

ESPN has a list of the ten most bizarre traveling trophies. The Traveling Training Kit, which apparently SCSU & Mankato play for, is number two on the list.

2. The Traveling Training Kit

Goes to winner of: MSU-Mankato vs. St. Cloud State

These two small Minnesota colleges have a gridiron rivalry dating back to 1923, but they didn't start playing for the Training Kit until 1978. The trophy, conceived, not surprisingly, by the trainers of the two schools, consists of an empty tackle box. The tackle box is female, St. Cloud Huskies guard Cory McLouden revealed before the 2002 contest. "We plan on bringing the Trainer's Kit home with us," he said. "We may have to put a new coat of varnish on her. She's looking a little rough."

What is with the tackle box being female? And do I want to know what they do with it when they take it home?

A few other local teams made the list or honorable mention.
