So while most college football fans will be tuned into USC-Ohio State Saturday night for what has been dubbed the "Collision at the Coliseum" there is another little game with its own catchy title being played in Maine.

"The Battle for the Butter"

What, you say?

Well the hosts on ESPN Radio's "Mike and Mike in the Morning" were having a little fun on Thursday and picked a game at random off the college football schedule then asked viewers/listeners to name it.

The game: Stony Brook at Maine. Alfond Stadium. Orono. 6 p.m.

Apparently the Mikes got thousands of suggestions from fans and the winning name was picked: "The Battle for the Butter" - as in the butter one would dip lobster meat into before feasting on the flesh of the crustacean.

The winning coach will be interviewed on Mike & Mike Monday morning. The show has already arranged to get game footage from Bangor's WABI-TV5 to show along with the interview.

Maine's athletic marketing department has made up about 100 T-shirts emblazoned with "The Battle for the Butter" and will be giving them out to fans on game day.

Want to hear about it? Halfway through this morning's segment the Mike's get to the Battle for the Butter hoopla.
