OT. Fiesta Bowl Trophy
This may be the worst looking trophy in all of sports.
Its supposedly worth 1.3mil.
It stands 46 inches tall and is 15 1/2 inches at its widest point, weighing nearly 200 pounds. The base and platform are carved from five different shades of marble. The players are created in sterling silver and the center column is lapis with 18 carat gold. The football is also 18 carat with an enameled Fiesta Bowl logo; 2,400 diamonds are encrusted across the stripe of the ball.

In Ocean's Fourteen they should go after this bad boy. Agree though, that is the Margaret Thatcher of trophies.

the audible at the line seemed to pay off Cotton.

I like the old Sears glass crystal football trophy. Michigan should have had one after the '97 season. Coaches polled just wanted Osborne to go out as number 1!

Yeah, but I'd rather have it than the other team.

Given the current situation our football program is in, I would love to see them holding up any of those trophies, regardless of how horrible they look.

looks like it was built by a blind man

Sometimes bigger is not better.

Here's a new rule - if you're trophy has wheels on it, it sucks. You made it too big and ugly.

It's one of my favorites. FWIW, the black part is just a table it is sitting on, and it has a lot of cool 30's artsy detail.

What is that thing?

That's what you get for winning the Indianapolis 500. Each of the "bumps" you see on it is actually a mini sculpture of the winner's face from each year.

Here I was assuming it was a Dalek aphrodisiac.
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:26 AM ^
Wow.... That's frighteningly awesome.

Geez, that is one ugly trophy...

Opulence: I has it. Taste, I has it not.
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:28 AM ^
Go OU
It is one butt ugly trophy.

This may be the worst looking trophy in all of sports.
Nope - the Land Grant Trophy still has it beat:

Fucking Massive

Looks like something you would see in an Indian restaurant.
