Mavric Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 I would say the athletic department is trying to get rid of it and is disappointed that people keep bringing it up. 2 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Can someone please explain why we have a "broken chair" trophy? Sure....a trophy of some sort is fun. But, why a broken chair? Quote Link to comment

GBRHouston Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Maybe it's fun for the players and if so thats ok. Guess I never understood the playing for a "trophy" every week. Only 2 trophies matter. CCG and the Natty. ... And the broken chair. 2 Quote Link to comment
VectorVictor Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I would say the athletic department is trying to get rid of it and is disappointed that people keep bringing it up. I wouldn't be shocked if that were the case, considering this thing is kinda connected to the Pelini era (via the FakeBoPelini twitter account). Regardless, someone needs to make good with the chair ASAP, or this needs to be the first question from the media after we (presumably) win Saturday. Quote Link to comment
hskerholic Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 do we start to Email SE about the trophy or call his office. Quote Link to comment
RunMickeyRun02 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 The week leading up to the Minny game their was a thread or poll attempting to make the trophy official the general sentiment I got from it was "We don't need it to be OFFICIAL with a sponsor and all the crap that goes with that" and I agree with that at the time but if the University is gonna try and bury in the training room and make it forgotten about it then I regret not participating in that thread.

I'm slowly becoming a fan of the broken chair trophy. For a game trophy like this....this means way more than some fabricated trophy the ADs and all the marketing experts put together. This was put together by fans and for the fans and players. There is absolutely no harm in it. It has a cool and funny story as to how it came to be. Get the thing out and recognize it. 7 Quote Link to comment

WhatDoIKnow Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I'm going to be honestly upset if the chair "disappears". It's the most famous and well known rivalry trophy we play for. Quote Link to comment
Swiv3D Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Of the 3, the only one I don't like is the freedom trophy, because it just looks plain dumb. Quote Link to comment

Frustrated Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I'm going to be honestly upset if the chair "disappears". It's the most famous and well known rivalry trophy we play for. And the one we are most likely to win once in a while...it's the most unique rivalry trophy in the country, and the only one with such a fantastic backstory. Sad that it is missing.

Sad that it is missing. You think we're unlikely to win the heroes trophy once in awhile? Edit: Crap, I just realized who I was replying to... of course you think it's unlikely. We may never win another game of football again. 2 Quote Link to comment

I mind that they created it before Iowa and Nebraska had played a down as fellow Big Ten teams. Quote Link to comment
