Cue it up
Forget the Old Oaken Bucket. There's a new trophy in the IU-Purdue rivalry, and Isaac Stone Simonelli made it his mission to bring the prize to Bloomington. The IU pool team will travel to West Lafayette on Saturday to try to bring the "Old Oaken Cue" to Bloomington. In a competition that started last year, the winning team of the Hoosier-Boilermaker pool tournament claims the stick for one year and gets the privilege of painting their team's colors and the victory date on the cue, forever marking their victory. Purdue leads the rivalry 1-0. IU will bring eight players to challenge Purdue in a round-robin style tournament. The IU team hopes to paint its cream and crimson stripes and this year's date above Purdue's gold and black stripes to avenge last year's loss.
