The $5 Bits of Broken Chair trophy has an origin story worthy of the college football trophies of old.
College football trophies are wonderful
Trophy games are one of the most beloved aspects of college football. The trophies themselves are as varied and unique as the schools and rivalries that spawned them. The trophies and the hype that surrounds the battles for them differentiate the college football experience from the more corporate "NFL Shield" brand.
Trophies matter to schools for different reasons depending on the opponent. In some cases, the trophy is a symbol of a passionate rivalry.
