I posted this in another thread, but it's my #GifOfTheWeek

We need the Gophers to win so this trophy can become legit. Someone needs to run over and grab that trophy at the end of the game. Nebraska didn't do it last year despite their victory. I hope we don't make the same mistake if we win.
 


Mike Riley has embraced it, it's all but legit.

The front right corner leg looks sharp. Wait until OSHA sees that...
 


In the imortal words of Glen Mason "We have a lot of trinkets we play for" at Minnesota. This may be one of those trinkets but it is the fans and the mascots that came up with the trophy and some dude on Twitter that really hated Bo Pellini. This is not a heated rivalry with Nebraska but it is fun to play those guys and a good measuring stick. Beat the Huskers and Goldy get's the chair back!
Go Gophers, win the Chair in Lincoln, beat Northwestern and then on to Axe week and INDY.
Win the chair, beat the Cats, and then time to invade Madison with an all out winner take all.
Run the table and crash the party in Indianapolis, all of the pundits have someone else already there anyways. Let's be the PARTY CRASHERS!
 



Now make sure the Athletic Department actually acknowledges the trophy.
 

this is how a real rivalry trophy is made so badass im glad we play for the best trophy in all CFB (and probably 3 of the top 5 tbh)
 

I rank this stupid chair just below that dumb bell. Neither is a legit trophy.

I hope they don't. If they do, it will just go corporate in nature which will defeat the whole purpose of the exercise.
 

democracy reigns supreme with that broken chair trophy! (I endorse the lower case 'd' to start the sentence: Dean S.)

Trophy: good.
Nebraska: they are okay.

Nobody is going to sponsor the bell....
 

The Broken Bits is a different trophy, I'd like to see it used in a different way. Namely, every time we play Nebraska it should be up for grabs. That includes basketball (how come nobody has trophy games for basketball???), volleyball, wrestling, soccer, baseball, track, etc.
 

I love this trophy because it's fun. Better than Nebraska's other trophies with Iowa and Wisconsin
 

This trophy is better than the bell. I hope it continues to catch on. Santoso will be the one to run over and grab the trophy. I'm calling it.

I never gave it a moment's thought but yeah i think it could be left in NE. with a M win.
 

This was the original Iowa/Iowa State game trophy. I'm pretty sure it's been changed. It does give the Bits of Broken Chair a run for its money.

the actually trophy is kinda dumb. Wish they would have actually smashed a broken chair and assembled it in some way.
 



Why you gotta open old wounds, man?! This was such a sore spot last year. Freakin' administrators with no souls kill everything fun that's worth a d@mn. Here's my idea:

1) Create a replica
2) Break it down into pieces (or bits, if you will)
3) Sneak those in under the clothes of students
4) Slyly reassemble in the student section during the game
5) Pass it down to the winning team's sideline as the game ends. I guarantee at least one player runs with it.
6) Administrators kill it. Students rinse and repeat following year.

This must not die!
