Sargon Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 NU is -8 lifetime today huh. I'm guessing we go 8-0 going forward so it's all even in 2023. I'm a fan of the broken chair trophy, we should hang on to it, perpetually. 1 Quote Link to comment
Scratchtown Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Minnesota's NC's don't count because they occurred before NU got their first Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Minnesota's NC's don't count because they occurred before NU got their first No they still count, just a wee bit dated even compared to our near 20 year drought. Just like all of Oregons count....ohhhh....sorry. 3 Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I don't even know where Minnesota's six NC trophies are, so I'm sure I can't find Nebraska's! Wiki says you guys have 7. Including 1960 when you went 8-2 and lost in the Rose Bowl. Seems very SEC-ish if you are claiming that one. Quote Link to comment

One did not include the results of the bowl games so it was a regular season champion. This is how Texass claims a Natty in 1970 when Nebraska won their first championship Quote Link to comment
husker98 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 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 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... This game is actually more of a historical rivalry really. You go back into the history books and Minnesota and UNL played each other a ton. Of all the programs we have a relationship with its Minnesota. So really this is a rivalry similar to like what we had with KU, except Minnesota has actually won NC's. I think this trophy is perfect and needs to be legitimized if it hasn't already.
