Can anyone ID what this framed military uniform looking object in the Rivalry Trophy showcase is?
I was watching Roman Wilson’s latest vlog on YouTube (fun series btw) and the latest episode shows the team prepping for the B1G title game. He passes the showcase in the locker room, and behind the George Jewett trophy there looks to be a framed military uniform of some kind - anyone know the backstory on this? I did my best to grab a screenshot (Also peep the bus trophy that found its way in from the Nebraska game)

Paul looks a lot better in maize pants.
December 11th, 2022 at 9:30 AM ^
He does look amaizeing.
December 11th, 2022 at 10:33 AM ^
No one ever said, "He's turning green. Looks good."
December 12th, 2022 at 4:06 AM ^
An STAEE co-worker once tried to talk trash by telling me that "Yellow and blue make green!"
I replied, "So do dead bodies when they rot."
Hope she enjoyed that mental picture.
December 11th, 2022 at 11:33 AM ^
Needs more flannel
December 11th, 2022 at 12:39 PM ^
So does our football team.
December 11th, 2022 at 12:55 PM ^
i've always thought that was a dumb looking trophy
December 12th, 2022 at 11:38 AM ^
You're not wrong -- it does look dumb, but lovably so. It reminds me of the Homer Simpson quote -- "Stupid like a fox!"
December 11th, 2022 at 2:55 AM ^
I’m just glad we have the brown jug and Paul is where he should be
December 11th, 2022 at 6:07 PM ^
I believe we are currently in possession of ALL the trophies we play for. Am I missing any?
December 11th, 2022 at 11:53 PM ^
just that natty
December 11th, 2022 at 3:41 AM ^
Why are his hands inside his pants?
December 11th, 2022 at 5:49 AM ^
Because their are a pair of maize pants pulled over the trophy pants.
December 11th, 2022 at 7:36 AM ^
And did you ever notice you never see Paul and the liver king in the same place?
December 11th, 2022 at 7:40 AM ^
tough to find a good tailor these days, especially if you're 2' tall?
December 11th, 2022 at 8:41 AM ^
Thought you might be taller.
December 11th, 2022 at 9:05 AM ^
2' 2 1/2". in shoes. okay, on skates.
December 11th, 2022 at 9:17 AM ^
Do you tear down barns for a living… Just asking.
December 11th, 2022 at 10:32 AM ^
I tore down logger shacks. Does that count?
When I was a forest fire fighter, one of our jobs when not on a fire was to tear down empty logger shacks because time had made them a bunch of dry wood, essentially tinder in the middle of the forest.
It was LOTS of fun. The fun of swinging away at walls with axes. The fun of hitting support posts from the inside until the roof was about to fall. And then the fun of fire fighters making a fire of the pile in a controlled burn (so there was no longer fuel for a fire).
December 11th, 2022 at 11:22 AM ^
Little people big world reference.
December 11th, 2022 at 12:51 PM ^
I have built more barns than I’ve demo’d, but as providence would have it we burned (on purpose) one of my neighbors old barns yesterday.
December 11th, 2022 at 12:57 PM ^
A "barnburner", as so often mentioned by Bob Ufer!
December 13th, 2022 at 8:08 AM ^
How many not on purpose begs the question?
December 11th, 2022 at 9:07 AM ^
I remember having that problem when the kids were first born. We just put them in onesies, snapped the buttons closed, and called it a win. 😉
December 11th, 2022 at 4:35 AM ^
I completely forgot that we were playing someone for a bus trophy. Except I never really knew we had a trophy game with Nebraska and had no idea what it was.
December 11th, 2022 at 7:32 AM ^
Probably because the source of the trophy is double banned here
December 11th, 2022 at 9:37 AM ^
Banned from the board, welcome in the trophy case
December 11th, 2022 at 11:38 AM ^
Dave Ablauf welcomed him into the building and on the sidelines so perhaps some narratives are off. Lloyd says Hi.
December 11th, 2022 at 10:55 AM ^
An instance where outright censorship breeds ignorance. If the football program has something like a trophy in the trophy case, it should be open for discussion here.
December 11th, 2022 at 12:21 PM ^
It's the official/unofficial Bussin' Bowl Trophy, sponsored in part by local pariah, Taylor Lewan.
I'll take that trip to Bolivia. I could use the time off.
December 11th, 2022 at 7:55 AM ^
From the responses above mine, looks like the answer is, no.
December 11th, 2022 at 7:57 AM ^
WD is probably laughing and saying "It took a while, but those jerks finally want me back."
Here's a paywalled post, from him, from May that likely answers the question, but I am not willing to pay for it:
December 11th, 2022 at 8:34 AM ^
Sooo, we will never know the answer. To sum up whats in the case, Two awesome trophy's, one it;s not a trophy and we won't discuss it and another that only a man from Bolivia can explain.
Nice. I do like the maize pants on Paul.
December 11th, 2022 at 8:53 AM ^
That post only discusses the B1G and CFP trophies.
December 11th, 2022 at 8:59 AM ^
It's honestly time to let him back in the club.
His ban was bullshit.
I say that and I didn't even care for the fella
December 11th, 2022 at 9:31 AM ^
Ace had more reasons to be banned here than WD
December 11th, 2022 at 11:34 AM ^
People just can't get over turning everything into a referendum on Ace.
He doesn't work here anymore. He's still a friend and colleague to the people who do. Get over yourselves.
December 11th, 2022 at 11:45 AM ^
Nah, I'll still rip on someone who thought his way of thinking is the only right path and anyone different is evil and wrong.
December 11th, 2022 at 9:34 AM ^
Couple of things:
He really burned the bridge after the ban.
he can always make a new account.
December 11th, 2022 at 9:41 AM ^
Yeah I know but I can't blame him for being salty when he was banned. He gave a lot of himself to this place and he got banned because ace had a wild hair up his ass.
He's back again I think. But still he should be able to be Wolverine Devotee.
Just my opinion
December 11th, 2022 at 9:50 AM ^
I agree. It’s hard to quit Mgoblog cold turkey like that.
you’re one my favorite poster btw.
December 11th, 2022 at 10:00 AM ^
I appreciate that.
I know I can be mgoblogs biggest turd sometimes
December 11th, 2022 at 10:19 AM ^
He definitely burned bridges, but he was treated like shit so I really can't blame him. If Ace had banned me I would have gone full flamethrower too
December 11th, 2022 at 10:28 AM ^
Is there some place to find out the story here? I've gathered that WD and Ace pissed everyone off and something went down between them, which Ace "won" because he was part of the staff. Can anybody fill me in the rest of the way? Thanks in advance
December 11th, 2022 at 11:10 AM ^
I just sold rights to my script about this drama to Prime Video. In preproduction now. Looks like John Karinski is on board. Playing which character? I'll keep that a secret. Look for a 10-episode series sometime in early 2024.
December 12th, 2022 at 12:07 AM ^
John Karinski is John Krasinski's non-union Polish equivalent btw
December 11th, 2022 at 10:34 AM ^
I mean sure unban him, but just a reminder that he could easily show up again as WolverineDevotee2, with his own logo, tell everyone it's him again, and wouldn't be banned. This is what gets annoying about all the banning talk. You're not really banned. You can literally just make another account and pay 5 bucks. I believe XM didn't get unbanned and just made a new account eventually.
December 11th, 2022 at 10:46 AM ^
WD I greatly appreciate your YouTube channel. Cheers.
December 11th, 2022 at 11:00 AM ^
It is easy to start a new account on here. Hell I think this is my 3rd. I can't even remember my original account name from 2003.
