Indeed it's true.

I think I can still see the outline of a smiling McFadden in the tarnished Arkansas part of the trophy.

So, could we cut a couple thousand bucks off of the bottom edge every year, and call it “coastal erosion”?

I remember lil Joe Labruzza running behind Dave McCormick over their AA DT. We broke their 22 game win streak (I think) I think they may have won the NC with a win. The team above them lost. But, I remember it as the 1966 Cotton Bowl. It was one of my Good Times.
You might be right about Cotton Bowl and not Sugar - definitely right about breaking Hogs 22 game win streak. It was a glorious time to be a Tiger fan! I was 17.

Everything you ever wanted to know about 'The Boot' trophy:

Read the section The Boot Era.

Baws, it could be worse, this old Tiger lives in Minnesota whose state team U of M plays U of Iowa every year for 'Floyd of Rosedale' a pig trophy. All meant to be in fun like the Boot and the players love probably more than the fans.

Yes, it is solid gold. Why do you think it is so important to beat Arkansas every year?
