Toledo Rockets

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Toledo Rockets are the athletic teams that represent the University of Toledo. The Rockets are a Division I Football Bowl Subdivision team in the National Collegiate Athletic Association and play in the Mid-American Conference (MAC). The school's colors are midnight blue and gold. Toledo's principal rivals are the Falcons of Bowling Green State University. The two teams play for a trophy each year known as the Peace Pipe, a prize that originated in basketball but progressed to football in 1980.Currently BG and UT are tied 15-15 with Bowling Green winning the last 3 games. This rivalry is sometimes known as "The Battle for I-75" because the cities of Toledo and Bowling Green are located just off Interstate 75 and only 20 miles separate the two campuses. However this term is more popular by the local television media, particularly sportscasters with little local history of the area.
