per Dustin:
3. The real Floyd died in 1936 and is buried (approximately) halfway between the two schools
Unfortunately, the actual Floyd didn’t last more than a year after serving as the prize of the Iowa-Minnesota game. He died from cholera on a farm near the Iowa-Minnesota border. He was also buried on that farm, which is actually pretty close to the halfway point between the two universities. How fitting.
4. Minnesota leads the series in just about every way…
The Gophers lead the all-time series 62-47-2 and the trophy series 42-39-2. Minnesota also owns the longest winning streak, defeating the Hawkeyes in 12 straight games from 1891-1916. The largest margin of victory also belongs to the Gophers, winning the 1903 matchup 75-0.
