Broken Chair Remade

Exchanging the trophy between bars is a nice compromise between those that favor the chair and those of us that see it as a reminder of one bad aspect (anger issue) of an otherwise decent coach and would prefer it not be an official trophy.

I don't think this trophy has anything to do with coach Pelini's emotions.  It has everything to do with a nascent rivalry between two great schools.

It may have started as a jovial indictment of Pelini's emotions, but like most rivalries, it's become so much more than that. 

Hell, at this point, it's more about thumbing our nose at our AD office and its lack of a sense of humor than anything else. But in a year or two, it may be something different yet. 

 
i don't give a flip about the broken chair....but if others like it i don't really give a flip either.   let it go and see what happens.   not going to fight with anyone over whether it's good or bad.

I cleaned up this thread a little bit and moved most of the content to this year's edition of the tangent thread. If you'd like to continue the conversation surrounding the moved content, please do so there or take it to the Shed.

Carry on.

Moving to Thanksgiving weekend now too.  One of the best trophy games in the BIG.  I sort of like it.  Minny with Mr. Being PJ Fleck and the Broken Chair is way more interesting than a manufactured rivalry with Iowa.

Speaking of, Oregon barely had any commercials at their game. Just the usual digital car race and find the hat games. It was super refreshing to not hear some bank, pizza place, doctors office, or soft drink advertised every 5 minutes!

Meanwhile, Nebraska added new ribbon boards and enhanced the old ones, so there's much more space for graphics in the stadium now.

What did they do with that space?  Add more live game stats, scores from other games, or special in-game information to enhance the fan experience?

HAHAHA NOPE LOL !!!!1!!eleven!!

What they DID was take away all of that stuff that used to be in the ribbon boards, all that info that used to be so helpful while watching the game. All they had on those ribbon boards was ads (won't say for what, but the typical sponsors you see at a Husker game), and they even dedicated large chunks of screen real estate to Nebraska's & ASU's logos. 

Because LOGOS are going to enhance my fan experience.

Logos. 

Good job, Nebraska.  Way to step it up for your fans.
