Iowa and Minnesota are playing their annual rivalry game against each other on Saturday.

The winner of this game gets to hold the Floyd of Rosedale, which is the trophy for this game. 

Booger McFarland was an analyst during a halftime update alongside Kevin Negandhi and didn’t know what the Floyd of Rosedale was when he was asked.

“Oh, yeah. This is one of the ones that I know. The Little Iron Pig,” McFarland said. 

“Do we know what this is?”

“Oh, yeah. This is one of the ones that I know. The Little Iron Pig!”

“It’s close! It’s the Floyd of Rosedale!”

You were so close, Booger!

Right now, the Hawkeyes are in the driver’s seat for the trophy with a 10-6 lead. With a win, they’d get to 7-1 overall and move up the rankings of the Associated Press top 25. 

The Hawkeyes have won the last eight games in the series but trail in the all-time series with a 52-62-2 overall record against the Golden Gophers. 

You can watch the rest of this game on NBC.
