Boomer Sooner!!!!!!!!!! Actually a brother of mine graduated from 0SU so won't hate too much. Good luck with the contest. Winning trophies could be donated to 0SU's empty trophy case, lots of room there.................

Yes, that's a zero, not an O.

Empty trophy case? We may lack irrelevant sports trophies but one of the reasons we started this contest was our students were entering an international engineering contest and we won 6 out of 7 years against as many as 80 other schools. We decided to come up with out own contest that was more of a challenge for our students.

All in good fun man!

Love it !

Of course, all in good fun. But the lack of 'irrelevant' sports trophies means you have lots of empty trophy cases on campus. I know for a fact the football national championship trophy case is utterly empty. With no use for it for many years in the future I suggest using it for your engineering trophies.
