Magnolia Bowl trophy

[jakldawg]

The Big 10 might actually have overdone it when it comes to the trophied rivalry games.
The ones that have been mentioned are solid, but others, like the MSU-PSU Land Grant trophy (looks like a file cabinet crashed into the scratch 'n dent section of a Michaels') are not:

and somehow the self-deprecating "$5 Bits of Broken Chair" trophy is kind of awesome.

Big 10 gets a pass for overdoing the trophy games. 17 out of the 18 are 95+ years old. LSU's trophy games with Arkansas and Mississippi are just forced and artificial.

The trophy is very bad, but the MSU vs. OM game should be called the Magnolia bowl. The trophy looks like an FFA project.

Ever been to the Angola rodeo? Looks like the inmate crafts

I tried listening to the OM game after our post-game show on the way home,

and when OM cut it to (I think) 14, Yellum said something like, "NOW the rivalry is getting intense again!!!!1!!!" or some such. It was the verbal equivalent of this trophy -- forced, contrived, one-sided, cringeworthy, embarrassing...

I had forced myself to keep listening through the numerous calls for penalty flags on LSU on seemingly every play, but at this point I just had to turn it off. I don't know how anyone listens to that ****, even the homeriest of rebel homers.

Ole Miss needs to stop losing all these bowl games. They don't seem to play well in their postseason.
