Which one represents more what a trophy game is supposed to be about? a) Freedom Trophy b) Hero's Trophy c) $5 bits of broken chair C, and it's not even close. 2 Quote Link to comment

The others are crap put together for marketing or advertising. I like the bits of broken chair is doing charity with it but these things need to happen naturally. Nebraska/Iowa should just fight over a golden corn stalk or something. Something you can easily carry. 1 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I agree. The other two are examples of marketing plots they put out thinking.....well anyone who doesn’t like this must not like freedom or heros. It it needs to be something totally meaningless other than proving who won the game last. Quote Link to comment

BowedButNotBeaten Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 For my side, and for almost all my fellow Gopher fans (with a few stodgy exceptions that are common to every fan base), we're big, big fans of the Chair. It's a tremendous trophy. There's no doubt in my mind that it will be officially recognized in short order. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I wonder if the original trophy was thrown in the dumpster. If not, I can see it resurfacing years from now and being sold for a bunch of $ to go to the charity. Or maybe they’ll sell the new one and keep the old. Quote Link to comment

Mike Mcdee Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 The grass roots movement to resurrect that trophy was walking through the tailgates for the 2016 game. They were asking for donations since that is what the original idea for it was. My donation earned me a cool little replica. 9 Quote Link to comment
Stone Cold Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Was kind of bummed to hear the bits of broken chair was not at the game Quote Link to comment
everybody knows my name Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 University officials would have confiscated it and thrown it in the trash. Quote Link to comment
