Where is the internet’s beloved Minnesota-Nebraska Broken Chair Trophy?

Nebraska beat Minnesota on Saturday, and in so doing, the Huskers retained the internet-created $5 Bits of Broken Chair Trophy, the sport’s greatest rivalry trophy, as of like two years ago.

The trophy originated from a Twitter joke between Faux Pelini, the alter ego of Nebraska’s former head coach Bo, and Minnesota’s mascot. It’s a broken wooden chair with a couple of $5 bills in it. Yes, this makes perfect sense.

But! The Lincoln Journal Star reported some Nebraska players didn’t even know they were playing for the trophy, and that they couldn’t track it down after the game. The report says “no one seemed to know where it was,” and that “it seemed to be misplaced.”

“I had no clue we were playing for (the Broken Chair trophy),” Husker lineman Nick Gates said after the victory. “I remember seeing it last year, I guess; it’s been in the trainers’ room for a while. I guess it’s pretty cool, because winning it last year was the first trophy I have won here.”

The Huskers haven’t posted images of the trophy since last year.

We’ve reached out to Nebraska for comment and will update if we hear back.

Maybe the Huskers are just tired of the silly trophy. But who could be tired of such a glorious object? Look how much joy it brought head coach Mike Riley a year ago.
