Saunders
Heisman Trophy Winner
Well, now it makes so much sense.So because Minnesota plays Iowa and Michigan for stupid trophies, Nebraska should too? Solid argument. smh

The other trophies have been brought up in interviews.1. How many other trophies was Fleck asked about?
2. Ok? How close do they actually cover the Gophers vs Pro sports.

4. Anecdote
94% of people responding to a poll at The Daily Gopher thought the Chair should be a real trophy. And another Daily Gopher poll confirmed that the following year.
The story of how the chair came to be (and it was made by Minnesota!).
Here are Minnesota's and Nebraska's reasons for axing the trophy. They are dumb, and fans of the Chair won't have it.

You said only husker fans cared, I posted the reddit links to show otherwise. There's been two polls posted from two of the most popular Gopher fan sites, with overwhelming support for the trophy.The other trophies have been brought up in interviews.
They cover the Gophers quite well.
That's a link to a question from 2 years ago that 92 people voted in favor of the trophy. Not really a "majority" of fans
So what? you can link Reddit and it's fine. I can say I actually know AD people and it's an anecdote
From when Bo Pelini was still coach. Hmmm.You said only husker fans cared, I posted the reddit links to show otherwise. There's been two polls posted from two of the most popular Gopher fan sites, with overwhelming support for the trophy.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
1. There isn't one. Maybe you can get your Gopher people to do one.Show me a poll not from 3 years ago
It was made by a guy in a mascot suit. It wasn't "made by Minnesota"
Those are very solid reasons to not play for that stupid thing.
Data is data.From when Bo Pelini was still coach. Hmmm.
Those d@mn kids are back on your lawn!From when Bo Pelini was still coach. Hmmm.
Well if there isn't one, stop quoting outdated "data"1. There isn't one. Maybe you can get your Gopher people to do one.
2. The Mascot and twitter account for the university of Minnesota is on sole control of one guy? Ok....
3. That's just like your opinion, man.
Data is data.
1. Unless you have a more recent poll, It's the most recent data, so it's not outdated. This is some #FakeNews type of discrediting.The point is that i want Nebraska to play for trophies. And I don't want them to be corporate. That doesn't mean we have to settle for stupidity just because other schools play for stupid things.

The University of Minnesota did not make the trophy. Is that difficult for you to understand?
I would say the same thing to anyone who thinks the "trophy" is cool

Pretty much where I'm at.I think this is very reasonable. Honestly, I don't even care if we play conference games for trophies. They're fun but they're not my thing. If we're going to have them, let's make them organic and fan-created, not some corporate monstrosity.
I can understand why people wouldn't like this particular trophy. For all my advocating of it, I'm not that sold on this particular thing. It's OK and whimsical, but if we came up with something better I'd get behind it more. The Chair, while fun, looks stupid in a trophy case.
