Go Gophers!!
Go Gophers!!
Fundraiser?Hey y'all, there are a ton of Husker fans and Gopher fans working behind the scenes on this. We'll be going live with the fundraiser and website hopefully very soon. In the meantime you can follow https://twitter.com/5buckbrokechair and https://twitter.com/5buck_Chair_ity for updates. Wooo!
This^^^^^ 100% Awesome!We're planning to use the popularity of the trophy to solicit donations to the Team Jack Foundation and the UMN Masonic Children's Hospital. Hopefully in the process we'll also give the fans, players, and schools an additional reason to embrace this really unique trophy.

Show of hands - how many people like the Broken Chair better than the Governor's Victory Bell trophy?

I think everyone agrees and it's not close!

I don't really get why the bell is so hated. Can someone fill me in?
Better? Sure. But that is like saying I like being punched in the face better than in the crotch. As far as I'm concerned both "trophies" can die a miserable death (although I hope DPO lives to be old and healthy).

The Bell was created because MN was the first game that Penn St. played as a part of the B1G..... that was it.
There really isn't any rivalry there, and it seems like the bell commemorates some sort of administrative event more than anything else.
Why? What's the downside to having a trophy? Why would they cause you to be so bitter?
The crap trophies water down the importance of the legit trophy games that are real rivalries/have significance.Why? What's the downside to having a trophy? Why would they cause you to be so bitter?
I agree, feels like the B1G tried to impose the bell. I like the grass roots development of the broken chair, more of a fan owned experience and Nebraska is here to stay as a long term rival in the B1G West
Yep, the Bell was a dumb idea right from the get go and should have been retired years ago because neither of the teams care much about it.
