The return of the Broken Chair Trophy is everything I love about college football

Related Topics: Broken Chair

By now I’m betting that many of you have read somewhere that the $5 Bits of Broken Chair Trophy is back! As alluded to in the comments of other posts, the push to bring back the Chair something we at TDG have been aware of for a little while. But when it came time to write about it’s return I was left with a big case of writers block. I could have easily chased some clicks with a quick post saying THE CHAIR IS BACK, but that felt cheap because I honestly love the Broken Chair Trophy. It wasn’t until I read this excellent story from Hail Varsity that I knew what mattered most to me was sharing why I give a damn about this trophy and why I think its story represents the best parts of college football.
