I stole this idea from the college basketball board and thought you guys might like it.


My vote went to The Green Jacket from The Masters. There are so many though. I had a problem deciding on between The Green Jacket or The Helms Trophy. Not many can say they have a Helm's Trophy but I went with the jacket. It was probably easier winning The Green Jacket than that coveted Helm's Trophy. Give us yours. OFC

Yeah that Helms Trophy, you know that thing can jus "pop up anytime." I mean you may go decades before hanging a banner for it!

Don't really watch too much hockey but Lord Stanley's Cup is pretty badass. Gotta go with that.

Do you think the Helms Trophy has as much prestige as a degree in African, African American Studies from Cheats University?

Hockey is behind basketball, baseball, football, soccer, and maybe even lacrosse as far as sports I both understand and enjoy, but the Stanley Cup is absolutely #1 in trophies in team sports. Just the ritual and reverence around it makes it an easy choice here for me. I got to see it in '02 in Detroit, even. They were playing the Hurricanes, but I'm a Michigan native and pull for the Red Wings. We were there for a wedding and a friend of my Dad had tickets. I don't even want to know what they cost.

I agree w/ DukeSky85, though, that the (usually) individual accomplishment of Olympic Gold is even better.

Before any one else mentions it I would like to throw in that participation trophy that one can get many times depending on how long they participate and how many sports they participate in. I'll bet there's athletes out there with 40 or 50 of them. OFC

I just have to go w/the Heisman...There's a trophy that brings past winners together, has its own show, is object of speculation for months on end, AND you can even mimic it w/a pose....Now thats a trophy!

Agree with the green jacket sky. As a trophy a huge fan of the US Open (golf) and Wimbledon plate for women's tennis.

I am with you sky, for my money it's the green jacket for a masters title. My second place would be the Clarett Jug for the British Open. Can you tell I am a golf fan?

Stanley Cup, hands down. You can drink from it and it doesn't even break if you drink too much from it and wind up dropping it.

Yep. That was my answer. As Trophy's go, that's it.

Now, personally, as to the one I'd want to win - it would be the Green Jacket and second would be the Claret Jug. Although the U.S. Open Tennis title would be phenomenal as well. :)

Nothing better than George Becker and Johnny Weaver battling Bronco Lubich and Aldo Bogni with manager Homer O'Dell for the tag team championship belts. OFC

I remember Johnny Weaver and the name Homer O'Dell coming to us from Dorton Arena while my Mother cooked our meal as only she could. Those were such simpler days weren't they.
