THE OLD BRASS SPITTOON - 2 THE OLD BRASS SPITTOON The Old Brass Spittoon has been awarded to the winner of the Indiana-Michigan State football game since the trophy’s inception in 1950. Initiated by the junior and senior classes and student council at Michigan State, the trophy was quickly accepted by the Indiana Student Senate. The spittoon came from one of Michigan’s earliest trading posts and is widely believed to be nearly 200 years old. Legend holds that the spittoon was around when both institutions were founded (Indiana - 1820, Michigan State - 1855). Indiana and Michigan State have faced each other since 1922 and the trophy became a part of the series 28 years after the first meeting.
