everybody knows my name Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Who would have thought, going into next Saturday's game, that the Gophers and the Huskers would have so much in common? In the last three years, Minnesota has won two meetings and Nebraska has won one. The teams are currently tied (along with Wisconsin) for first place in the Big Ten West, with idential 7-2 (4-2) records. Nebraska's best win came against Wyoming, while Minnesota's best win came against Colorado State. Nebraska's defense has given up 209 points so far this year, and Minnesota's defense has given up 208. One of these two teams is going to get a big win this week. Someone is going to hoist the Broken Chair. Who will it be? 1 Quote Link to comment
In the Deed the Glory Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Even though I am still smarting from that ass whipping last night, I do have a great deal of appreciation for the $5 Bits of Broken Chair Trophy. I think it is hilarious. 2 Quote Link to comment
huskerfan92 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Minnesota might have the quietest 7-2 in football history. I had no idea they have only lost twice. As far as rivalry trophy's go, the $5 Bits of Broken Chair trophy is the only one I acknowledge. Quote Link to comment
VectorVictor Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 All hail the $5 Bits of Broken Chair Trophy, the only B1G Rivalry Trophy we care about (because it came organically, and wasn't concocted by the conference)! 3 Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 They control their own destiny. Still have Wisconsin to end the year. Very hungry bunch comin to the LNK saturday. Put the big boy pants on. Wont be for the faint of heart. Quote Link to comment
HuskermanMike Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 They control their own destiny. Still have Wisconsin to end the year. Very hungry bunch comin to the LNK saturday. Put the big boy pants on. Wont be for the faint of heart. Put 9 in the box and play with a chip on our shoulder and play hard. We need to play with some anger, but also play with some pride for the season. With or without Tommy, I believe we beat them similar to last year. It will be close in the first half, but we will run over them in the second half, especially the fourth quarter. Quote Link to comment

The Ohio St game will probably be a much easier game to shake than the wisconsin game. Quote Link to comment

husker98 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 This is the only rivalry trophy I care about. Please win this game boys. Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 waiting for CM to chime in on this. Or is it too much fun? Or is it that Bo is 0-1 in chair games, and Riley is 1-0? Quote Link to comment
everybody knows my name Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 It seems the trend in the media is to pick Minnesota, which shocks the Gopher fan in me. I remember too well the Husker dominance of the eighties and nineties. Quote Link to comment

Count 'Bility Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I will not be shocked by a Minnesota victory whatsoever. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I will not be shocked by a Minnesota victory whatsoever. Nope. Huskers better figure some things out quickly. Getting a little healthier wouldn't hurt either. Quote Link to comment
