The Slab of Bacon was a traveling trophy that formerly passed to the winner of the American college football rivalry game played annually by the Minnesota Golden Gophers football team of the University of Minnesota and the Wisconsin Badgers football team of the University of Wisconsin–Madison. It was given annually to the winning team immediately upon the conclusion of the game. It was the first symbol of one of the most heated rivalries in college football and is the most-played rivalry in Division I-A football, with 120 editions dating back to 1890.
