For 55 years, the Paul Bunyan Trophy was a locker room trophy. The winner celebrated with it behind closed doors.
Mark Dantonio decided that would change.
Before the 2008 game in Ann Arbor, Michigan State gave Jon Falk, Michiganโs equipment manager since 1974, a heads-up: if we win today, Paul is coming on the field.
Falk told them Paul Bunyan was a locker room trophy.
Michigan State had not come looking for his approval.
โIf we win, Paul is coming on the field,โ they repeated.
They won 35-21. As promised, they ran Paul around the Big House.
The win started a 7-1 MSU run in the rivalry, and the Spartans kept taking Paul onto the field.
Michigan kept Paul in the locker room after wins in 2012 and 2016. In 2018, Jim Harbaugh decided Michigan would adopt the tradition Dantonio had started.
Every year since, the winning team has taken Paul onto the field.

๐จ MAJOR BREAKING: Premier League confirm an independent Commission has found Manchester City GUILTY OF ALL CHARGES related to serious breaches of the Premier Leagueโs financial rules over a nine-season period, and the majority of charges in relation to its failure to co-operate with the Leagueโs investigation.
The club has the right to appeal the independent Commissionโs findings and has until Friday 2 October to exercise that right.
The Premier League Boardโs intention is that the full process (including any appeals and publication of relevant decisions) is concluded as soon as possible.
The independent Commission found that between Seasons 2009/10 and 2017/18:
- Manchester City arranged โshamโ contracts (which misrepresented the true agreement between the parties) with a number of its commercial partners, as well as relying on โshamโ agreements with others, to artificially inflate the clubโs revenues and reduce its costs
- The club filed misstated accounts and concealed the true state of its finances from its auditors and football regulators
- Manchester City was significantly in breach of both the Premier Leagueโs and UEFAโs spending limits
- During the Premier Leagueโs investigation, Manchester City committed multiple breaches of its duties of co-operation and utmost good faith towards the League (three of the four alleged breaches were upheld)
