The Sicatoka Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 Folks, the Nickle Trophy is dead because it has "that image" on one side. Nothing more. Quote

I'm sure the schools will discuss it. That is a replica of a US coin. Hardly controversial, especially now that UND has changed names and logos. Personally, I'd rather lose it to NDSU than see it retired. Though, I'm sure they will come up with some sort of dumb POS trophy. Quote

BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 That would be huge to surprise the crowd in 2019 before the game with "The Nickel" at mid field. That crowd would have to love it!!!!! Quote

However, no one really sees it much. I work on campus and I don't even recall running across it anywhere. Just my personal opinion; but I would like to see it retired and brought out to the state capitol in Bismarck and put on display there. It could include information about the series as well as all the scores. Then it could be shared with many people all across the state. Or how about in the Alerus Center, along with the Sitting Bull Trophy and the 2001 NCAA National Title trophy. Alerus is the home of UND football, lets see more than just banners from the ceiling. Lets see the hardware. 2 Quote

Trophies get retired all the time. Our Sitting Bull trophy with South Dakota has been retired for quite sometime, and they didn't bitch about it when we moved to the Great West, or last season when we played them. I am sure a new trophy will be thought of before 2020. Doesn't matter anyways its not like you are going to be in possession of that one either. 1 Quote
siouxfan512 Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 Fine, we retire the Nickel, and replace it ..... Your thoughts? 2 1 Quote

darell1976 Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 Just now, Gothmog said: UND can't unilaterally decide to keep the trophy. It's not theirs to keep. You are right, UND calls the NCAA and see if they can keep the trophy or use it. Its the only two options. Quote

CMSioux Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 To paraphrase the Trumpster "Only the trolls care" about the location of the Nickle. I absolutely guarantee the Nickle Trophy as it exists now will not be a part of the new rivalry. I'm also pretty sure the only way the Nickle leaves UND is if someone at the state historical society or within the state goverment makes a request for it to be donated to them. Then SU can send their homecoming royalty to Bismarck to try and recover it - since no one in this generation of SU students has seen it in person. Quote
BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 Here's the real one. Took me a little to find this picture, then of couse I had to crop it. 1 Quote
