Ski-U-Mah
A University of Minnesota cheer from our school song, the Rouser. Because after we invented cheerleading (true story), we invented a word, too.
Rooted in Rivalry
The Big Ten Conference is known for its traveling trophies during college football season, and Minnesota plays for more of these trophies than any other school in
the country! These include the Little Brown Jug (Michigan), Floyd of Rosedale (Iowa) and Paul Bunyan’s Axe (Wisconsin).
