The Dude Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 It would be weird if the trophy that's meant to satirize the silly Big Ten trophies was officially recognized right alongside them. 1 Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Is there a game between any two B1G teams that doesn’t have a trophy associated with it? Maybe it just seems like most of them do since some of them seem so stupid. And most of the newer ones anyway are just butt ugly designs. Like ours with Iowa.....a big pyramid of plain wood. The chair surely satirizes them but I still like it better than many of the official ones. Quote Link to comment

Whoa...it wasn't meant to satirize *ALL* Big Ten trophy games. The ones that are contrived (e.g. Nebraska/Iowa, Nebraska/Wisky), hell yes. But some of them have been around for a while. And while this trophy is a satire, it's also a legit trophy in its own right, which is rather meta. 1 Quote Link to comment

It’s not making fun of those at all. 2 Quote Link to comment

But were they contrived by Sears and Roebuck or Ford Motors? (I’m trying to think of old timey business names). Quote Link to comment

They were asking for donations since that is what the original idea for it was. My donation earned me a cool little replica. I want to figure out if they sell those online... I REALLY WANT ONE!

It took my mom 20 years to learn and she’s not even 80 yet. Also she asked me how to turn off her iphone yesterday because she was on hold and didn’t know how to hang up. Long story short I bet you’re lying. Quote Link to comment
