Broken Chair Trophy

[everybody knows my name]

Anybody know where the broken chair trophy is? I want to heist it, but it's a long drive from Minnesota to Lincoln if I get there and I can't find it.

We took it home with us last year, so probably somewhere in the football offices. Probably right next to the 5 NC trophies.

I don't even know where Minnesota's six NC trophies are, so I'm sure I can't find Nebraska's!

How many of those were post WWII? Or chrystal balls for that matter?

[everybody knows my name]

3 pre-war
2 during-war

1 post-war

 

You've made your painful, hurtful point!

Hahaha! It's all good. Our last trophy will be considered a classic next year. Oh the good old days...

Before we joined the B10 NU had one trophy that nobody knew about or cared about (Victory Bell with Missouri)

 

Now we have one trophy ($5 Bits of Broken Chair Trophy) and two excuses for corporate sponsorship (Hero and Freedom) that nobody knows about or cares about

The only way to make a trophy important is to care about it. I care about the chair! I wish you guys were jerks, so I could hate you.

I like the Minny trophy. It's genuine, and came about in a real creative way. The rivalry isn't there but the desire for the trophy could potentially spark one...

Your grandmother wears combat boots! Now you can hate me. I will hate you for making me realize that the broken chair trophy is the only thing we have won recently.

We still have it, though...

 

..With Nebraska's victory over Missouri in the final league meeting of these teams on October 30, 2010, Nebraska's Memorial Stadium became the apparent final home of the Victory Bell...

Really, the Victory Bell is pretty cool in the same way that the Broken-Bits-Of-Chair is cool. It started with vandalism (theft of a church bell), and is mounted to a ghetto-looking end-table:

 

 

I think what really killed it was Nebraska winning/keeping it for 24 years straight in the 80's and 90's.

[huKSer]

Yes I know that NU still has it. I meant we HAD a rivalry trophy GAME.

 

If Missouri does join the B10 we can renew the trophy contest: "The Victory Bell, presented by Taco Bell"

[Stone Cold]

I think thats the idea about the broken chair trophy... Its an original idea like how so many of the original big 10 trophys started. I honest think they need to make it look less cheezy but other than that.

Don't let these "old skoolers" fool you, since it is 3-2 since "THE" NU joined the B1G, I would consider it a rivalry. (AND for the ole' fogies, Minny leads lifetime 31-23-2, but those ole' fogies will say they aren't that old and only start counting from '63.)
