Nebraska, Wisconsin to play for Freedom Trophy - Huskers.com - Nebraska Athletics Official Web Site

New trophy game, apparently. I think the trophy looks cool, but the idea that we need a trophy is stupid.

I don't mind the really old ones. And the kinda funny ones (like the Minny-Iowa pig thing).

Ours seem like they're trying too hard. We now have the "Heroes Trophy" and the "Freedom Trophy." I'm gonna put a bet in that our next one will be the "Liberty Trophy" or something else patriotic.

It'd be cool if the B1G would quit trying to force us into being something we aren't.

What I don't get is that this is turning into a rivalry on it's own...why seem like you are trying to shove this down everyone's throats when it looks like it could blossom into a rivalry anyways?

Let it develop organically. We're gonna be here for a long ass time, so like oaky said: Quit forcing it.

Personally, I already hate the fuckers. Don't need a trophy to add to that.

The Big 10 needs trophy games so their teams can have something for their trophy cases. They sure as shit aren't getting any important ones.

I like the way this trophy looks. Anything is better than that piece of crap trophy for the Nebraska/Iowa winner.

But if you are going to make a trophy make something funny or cool. Like a brass pig or a giant axe or a spittoon or an old oaken bucket.

We can't make anything funny because we are legends and what not.

In this conference we sit around wearing sweater vests and reading leather bound books, further improving our academics which lead the nation.

We have to be all cheezy en sech, like our hero Notre Dame.

Somebody else said it should be the red jersey trophy. Make it look like whatever but the real takeaway in that the winner gets to wear the red home jerseys home OR away the following year. That would get fan bases riled. Seeing the badgers wear red in Lincoln? Whoa Nellie!

Meh, I don't hate them. I hate Iowa. Badgers are ok in my book. I think it's flattering that they aspire to be like Nebraska.
