The best part of the chair is the ridiculous story behind the trophy, it’s something the fans get a kick out of and why not use one more motivator for the team to rally for. Give a nod to the fans, let us laugh at our past with a whacky trophy, and create a good rivalry with Minnesota. (It doesn’t hurt if they get better under Fleck, they could help us look good after a win)

Its a win win win. Don’t over think it by shutting down something the fans built in good nature. 

 
If it’s stationed in a bar, the only things missing will be 20 years of nicotine stains since no one can smoke in a bar anymore lol. 

Lets spill some drinks on it?

I concur. Think about how some of the other trophies were originated. Many of them were silly student-created items to make the outcome a little more fun way back in the day. Broken Chair could be that same thing in 25-50 years (whatever timeframe). The origin story of the Illibuck and other trophies are weird and fun. Why kill off something like an obscure trophy?

We need someone to ask Frost if he will acknowledge it.

We need Frost to embrace it..... And we also need for people to stop tagging FauxPelini with every tweet about it - then maybe the universities might be able to get behind it a little more.

I don't think that matters anymore. We have a new coach who likes Pelini and a new AD who is indifferent.

That all might be true, but Pelini still represented the university and the conference very poorly. There are plenty of people still in place at UNL, Minn, the B10, and within the press-world that are really glad Bo is gone...... It was fun while Bo was here, but a parody Twitter account really isn't helping anything at this point.

I don't think it really hurts either.

Regardless, it would be nice if Frost recognized it even if it's led by fans. Maybe he and/or the team could just take a photo with it when they win, then it goes back in the hands of the bar or Iron N.
