The winner of a gridiron matchup between Dickinson and Gettysburg earns more than just bragging rights
The annual matchup between the Dickinson and Gettysburg football teams is this weekend, and the tension is as high as the stakes. The winner walks away with bragging rights and the historic Little Brown Bucket, which has been passed between the two institutions since 1938. The bucket has been in Gettysburg’s hands for the last two years, and the Red Devils are ready to bring it back to Carlisle.
Kickoff on Saturday is at 1 p.m., and the game will be live streamed. Cheer on the Red Devils in Gettysburg, tune in online or follow the action on the @DsonRedDevils Twitter account.
Leading up to the game, the football team has been active on its social media channels (@WearinTheRedFB on Twitter and Dickinson College Red Devil Football on Facebook), sharing historic images and videos from this rivalry matchup. Check out this video clip from a late 1930s game:
