For the past few years the Paul Bunyan trophy has made its home in East Lansing.

For next year, Paul and his ax will be spending his time down the road in Ann Arbor. Michigan topped Michigan State 32-23 Saturday and the players celebrated with the trophy in their locker room.

The only appearances you saw of the trophy were from Twitter.

The trophy has been part of the rivalry game since 1953 and has always worn green pants with a brownish colored hat.

That has changed since it has come into the possession of Michigan. Mr. Bunyan now is wearing Maize pants with a blue Michigan ball cap.

Where are his khakis?

Some of the tweets that followed the photo are actually quite funny.

Michigan State will have their chance to recapture Paul Bunyan when they head into Ann Arbor October 7, 2017.
