That trophy will look nice on a shelf somewhere in Blacksburg.

Not sure why there's a trophy for this game.

Why not there be a trophy? It's not a rival game. It's a bowl basically. It's the equivalent of early basketball season tournaments across the country that have trophies. I'm all for it.

Because there's no reason to have one.

I'm not sure why this means there should be a trophy.

But not really.

No, it's not.

I don't care. I'm just not sure what's the point of the trophy.

What is the winning school supposed to do with that trophy?
Certainly you wouldn't put this in a trophy case next to real trophies. It's just a neutral site regular season game.

But there's no reason not to have one, so why not there be a trophy?

The same reason we don't get trophies for winning every other regular season game.

But it's a unique event. Why not you want a trophy?

I don't really care. It just seems meaningless. The guy above had it right when he said it would look silly next to the other trophies.

To trophy, or not there be a trophy, that is the question.

You'll need fricking binoculars to see the field from anywhere on the upper deck.

Will be the most redneck mountianbilly game of the season though, bar none.

Almost all of these neutral site kickoff games have their own meaningless trophies.

Pretty sure nobody is having a parade to celebrate them.

Was just flushing the "exist" quote. There indeed should be a trophy for the game.
