The excitement is palpable!
Nothing else needs to be said as mere words can not capture the anticipation!

It is Land Grant Trophy week!😱
- Thread starter The Spin Meister
- Start date
What I appreciate most, it how it perfectly captures the feel of a corporate board room...wood paneling, plaques, photos, and statues...compelling!
As BobPSU92 would say, be right back....
Jeebus. The Land Grant Trophy has its own Twitter account! 👐👐Look out Taylor Swift....we will soon surpass you as #1!🥰😍😘
I have said it before. Whichever team loses should be required to keep the trophy for the next year. The head coach should be required to display it on his desk and take it with him and display it whenever he visits a recruit or talks to any group. Maybe that would increase the motivation to win the next year.
Ugh. You HAD to post it. You couldn’t just let it infect our imaginations with its hideousness. 🤮
Honestly, I'm having a tough time thinking of anything uglier gracing a trophy than that New Deal Socialist Realism style MSU statue.
This is 1000% percent better than the LG trophy.I bring you the Cy-Hawk Trophy.
Take the Cy-Hawk trophy, make it a Spartan and Lion and call it the LG trophy and it would be 1000% better.
It’s almost as if George Pearles and Joe met up one summer day for a few beers in one of their garages, found some wood and stain. Then decided to grab some of the crappier memorabilia their wives were wanting to get rid of… I think that would at least explain the birth of the Land Grant Trophy much better.
If a trophy has shelves, you're doing it wrong

This post finally caused it to dawn on me what the LGT reminds me of.
Many years ago, shortly after I got married, my wife and I were out driving around one Saturday morning here in Arlington, Virginia, when she saw a sign for an estate/garage sale. Now I usually hate estate sales, but she loves them, so I dutifully drove her into this little cul-de-sac where the signs pointed. So we go in to the house, and lo and behold, it's the estate sale for the recently deceased Chief Justice of the United States Warren Burger!!!! Now this sale actually had one cool thing, which I very much regret not buying -- they were selling the Chief's old limo, complete with the SCOTUS seal on the front doors, for something like $7k. (Look at that s car go!!) But everything else in the house -- and I mean everything -- was all of the crap that none of the relatives wanted and was otherwise essentially nothing the auction house viewed as saleable. Thinks like the Chief's "program" from some international judges' conference held in Brunei in 1972. Old kitchen gadgets. In short, things not even to the level of "John Voigt's Car" on Seinfeld. It is things like this, that have been used to create the Land Grant Trophy.

I can’t believe the disrespect this magnificent work of a is getting here. It’s it the Rembrandt......no....the Picasso of trophies as it dared to challenge the established mindset of traditional trophies. Years from now, people will look back and see the true genius on display ....just like Van Gogh! Sad you uneducated fools don’t grasp the enormity of it all.

Today they'd replace the University photos with an 80" flat screen tv!
I think the cantilevered shelves clearly make it a Frank Lloyd Wright work.
Two years ago we did a piece on the LGT...spoke with the daughters of the man who designed it and created it. They were sweet old ladies, and were nice enough to play ball with us and have a little fun, so be nice to the trophy.
That's cool as hell Cali, thanks for sharing. Never saw it.
I remember seeing videos about the Navy Seals training and they carry these big logs around on the sand in San Diego for training. Sometimes as punishment. The LGT could supplant the log P.T. like if you fumble or something, coach makes you carry the LGT around when you're running the steps.

It’s the most wonderful game of the year!
Snowflakes will be flying
And Grilles will be frying while we all drink beer!
Its the most wonderful game of the year!
It’s the hap happiest game of them all
When the Land Grant Trophy , the one most Holy
makes fans gather all
Its the hap happiest game of the year!
There will be tailgates for hosting
and bratwursts for toasting
And cheering out in the snow
there will be scary ref stories
and tales of past glories
Of trophies won long ago!
It’s the most wonderful game of the year
there will be much celebrating
at all the tailgating
when another victory is near
Its the most wonderful game......OF THE YEEEAAR!

Since the Land Grant Trophy is the largest trophy this side of the Stanley Cup, it should be treated as such: the winning team should run around the stadium passing the trophy around from player to player; and each player should get to spend a day with the Land Grant Trophy, taking it wherever they want.
I think the trophy weighs something like 72 lbs. I could see kickers getting injured attempting to hoist the thing.

The moment "THE" THROPHY (yes, tO$U you do not have a monopoly on "THE") is hoisted by the victor...
Would be awesome for someone … @Richard Schnyderite …far more talented by me to put this to music and get it to the Fox broadcast crew. Would be a hilarious opening jingle for the broadcast. Bonus points for getting it to sound like Andy Williams is singing it!
