Again, I don't know what criteria exactly the Tribune used to put these in the quadrants. Some I do not agree with them.
From the CONTRIVED-CHEESY Quadrant
THE BONES-- UAB vs. Memphis A slab of ribs (Gets marks for most tasty trophy.)
PLATYPUS TROPHY-- Oregon vs. Oregon State. (I reckon a duck is close enough to a platypus. Takes the award for weirdest trophy. These guys must have too much time sitting around waiting for the rain to stop.)
BAYOU BUCKET-- Houston vs. Rice (Alright, both are close to Louisiana. The loser has to bayou a beer.)
I-94 TROPHY-- Wisconsin Eau Claire vs. Wisconsin-Stout (Sounds like a road fixation to me.)
From the HISTORIC-CHEESY QUADRANT
IRON SKILLET-- SMU vs. TCU (The loser gets brained with it.)
PAUL BUNYAN'S AXE-- Minnesota vs. Wisconsin (Again, has Minnesota ever seen it?)
MILK CAN-- Boise State vs. Fresno State (The loser gets to cry over spilt milk.)
PAUL BUNYAN TROPHY-- Michigan vs. Michigan State (Big Paul will get an ego with two trophies.)
One last trophy: MID AMERICA CLASSIC-- Eastern Illinois vs. Southern Illinois (OK, they're both in Illinois, in the Midwest and Mid America.)
I'll Be Looking Some of These Up. --DaCoot
