I still don't understand why people are being so hard on Loyd. I'm not familiar with Bo's records but I read somewhere that he, too, lost to OSU 4 years straight in a row.

Actually, I love Lloyd Carr and I went to OSU. His interviews are priceless!
Best of luck to him.

LOVE the picture, TSteven!

This "johnny-come-lately" Georgia fan already knew all about the Battle for the Beer Barrel. Any decent Southerner needs to learn about all of the rivalries in the SEC, IMO... 
This weekend, we have our own little rivalry, a little thing we like to call Clean, Old Fashioned Hate with Georgia Tech.
Go Dawgs and Go Cats!

Thank you. The trophy for the Kentucky / Tennessee football game was The Beer Barrel. It was a blue, white and orange beer keg. The game was often referred to as the Battle for the Beer Barrel.
I can't believe I had to go there to find the write up, but I found this at the Tennessee Athletic site. (I now need a shower.)

"The original Battle for the Beer Barrel was conceived in 1925 by a Kentucky booster club for the football rivalry with Tennessee, so that the series would have a trophy similar to Purdue’s Old Oaken Bucket and Michigan’s Little Brown Jug. The first game played kept the barrel in Lexington, a 23-20 win for the Wildcats. The barrel exchanged hands numerous times, both at games and during raids on the opposing school’s campus. Tennessee held a 60-23-9 edge in the series with Kentucky when the Beer Barrel trophy game was discontinued due to the tragic deaths of several Kentucky football players in 1997 in an alcohol-related car crash."
