There are a bunch of trophy games in the B1G today as we wrap up rivalry week. One of the most underrated trophies is the Old Oaken Bucket that state rivals Indiana and Purdue play for every season.

The Big Ten Network had a great social media bit where they tried to get the opposing coach from Purdue and Indiana to say something nice about their rival school.

Indiana’s head coach Tom Allen and Purdue’s head coach Jeff Brohm had to dig pretty deep to find something nice to say about the stadium or colors of the rival school.

You can watch the hilarious video here:

Indiana’s season has gone off the tracks as they have yet to win a B1G game this season; they are 2-9 and 0-8 in B1G play. Purdue has had one of its best seasons to date as they are 7-4 on the season and 5-3 in the B1G and had 2 huge upset wins against Iowa and Michigan State.

The Boilermakers and the Hoosiers kick off at 3:30 ET on Saturday on FS1 in West Lafayette for the Old Oaken Bucket.
