Trophy News From Monaco
SEAT and Yvan Muller receive their 2008 WTCC trophies in Monaco
The 2008 season drew to a close at the traditional FIA Gala Award ceremony in Monaco, where SEAT stood out and picked up the prizes that distinguish the brand and its representative driver Yvan Muller as World Touring Car champions.
SEAT and official driver Yvan Muller shared the spotlight at the event held in Monte Carlo, where SEAT Sport director Jaime Puig received the trophy proclaiming SEAT World Manufacturers’ Champion and Yvan Muller the World Touring Car Championship trophy. At his side, Gabriele Tarquini was given the runner-up trophy.
The three world champions were joined by their cars on stage at the event. The SEAT Leon TDI WTCC that Muller won the title with at the race held in Macau was one of the highlights, as it is the first Diesel powered car to win a World Championship in motorsport history.
Yvan Muller: “You have to do your best to win a world championship, but at the same time you have to rely on a great team to give you that opportunity. SEAT Sport gave me that opportunity. I also have to thank my mechanics and all my team mates, because we all progressed together and worked hard together during the season.”
SEAT Sport director Jaime Puig: “We are all enormously satisfied because after attending previous FIA award ceremonies we are finally the centre of attention thanks to the titles we’ve won this year. The SEAT Sport team has had an extraordinary season and the trophies we’ve picked up tonight are the recognition of the hard work and efforts of our entire team.”

Badger Days Fill Summer Void
(This week UWBadgers.com is running a five-part series of short stories about some of the various free events available to fans of Wisconsin athletics, as well as some of the community involvement that Badger student-athletes have. The stories were written by Allison Metcalf, a student intern in the UW Athletic Communications Office).
If you feel deprived of UW sports during the summer months, you are in luck. The Wisconsin Athletic Department has created a long tradition of providing its fans with the opportunity to meet the Badger coaches right in the fans’ own backyard.
“Badger Days” is a summer tour where all of the UW coaches hop on a bus and make stops in various cities around the state. Fans are encouraged to come out to chat with the coaches about their seasons while filling their stomachs with an all-you-can-eat style buffet of brats and burgers.
“It’s a very casual event where fans can really interact with the coaches,” Kevin Kluender, Assistant Athletic Director of Marketing explained. “The coaches are able to autograph pictures and talk to the fans, while fans can ask the coaches about their season, about their teams, and about their players. It’s almost like a tailgate.”
The “Badger Days” are hands-on events where fans young and old can be fully engaged with the personalities of the coaches. There are plenty of kid-friendly stations of fun and they can take time to touch some of the epic pieces of hardware that the coaches have helped earn throughout the years.
“There are a lot of opportunities for kids,” Kluender said. “We play games and we bring all of the big trophies with us on the road. We have brought bowl game trophies in the past and National Championship trophies. The most popular trophy is the Paul Bunyan Axe. The Axe really gets a lot of attention. Kids and adults will pick it up and hold it. It’s kind of neat to see. It’s just neat that we can go to some of these communities. We get a lot of reactions like, ‘Wow I can’t believe that Barry Alvarez is here.’ We get great support from the fans in the community and the community itself as far as staging the event there.”
These events seek out some of the state of Wisconsin’s most popular venues, which makes “Badger Days” even that much more unique. Two of these venues are Miller Park, home of the Milwaukee Brewers, and Lambeau Field, home of the Green Bay Packers.
“It’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy a fun, casual evening at Lambeau or Miller Park while celebrating being a Badger fan with others in your community,” Kluender concluded.

College football will crown its national champion on January 8 in Miami, when Florida and Oklahoma meet in the BCS National Championship Game.
When the dust settles and a winner crowned, Kentucky will be well-represented inside Dolphin Stadium that night.
That’s because the winner will take home one of the most prestigious trophies in all of sports. It’s called the Coaches’ Trophy . We’ve all seen it — Waterford crystal crafted into the shape of a football, perched atop a pedestal of ebony.
That piece of beauty is assembled and housed here in the Bluegrass State.
I remember it first as the Sears Trophy. Former University of Miami assistant coach Bill Proulx is the inspiration behind presenting the winning school with the crystal trophy. In a telephone conversation last year, Proulx told me the NCAA’s wooden trophy/plaque, given annually to the national champion, wasn’t enough. They are a bit understated, he surmised.
I think he got it right.
The coach had always thought NCAA champs should receive a trophy as big as the school’s accomplishment. So Proulx, a member of the American Football Coaches Association, turned to Charlie McClendon for help.
McClendon was Executive Director of the AFCA and embraced the idea in 1985. McClendon, you’ll recall, was a standout player at UK under Paul “Bear” Bryant.
Proulx was working for a construction company in Miami at the time. With the help of his wife, who sketched the design for the trophy, and with inspiration from his sons, Proulx took his idea to Tiffany, the first producers of the trophy.
Waterford Crystal replaced Tiffany and the trophy was first presented in 1986, to Penn State. The NCAA still hands out the wooden plaques, but the Coaches’ Trophy has become the centerpiece to any national title.
Proulx and his wife reside in Bedford, Ky. His Black Dog Sports assembles and houses the trophies, which are now given to men’s and women’s national basketball champions, as well.
The trophy is valued at $30,000 and Proulx declined to allow WKYT visit his shop and see how they’re assembled, citing security concerns.
In addition to the Coaches’ Trophy, Black Dog also sells replica trophies — the collector’s edition, which is 24-inches tall, goes for $5,000, while the desktop version (14” high) goes for $1,500.
Several companies have sponsored the trophy — ADT has sponsored the trophy since 2003.
Proulx says he’s been busy traveling the country in attempts to get schools to replace the old wooden trophies with new crystal. UK has won seven national basketball titles, but currently only displays one crystal Coaches’ Trophy.
I’m told the crystal footballs and basketballs are blown and crafted in Europe, before being sent to Proulx at his ol’ Kentucky home. There, he marries the top piece with the ebony pedestal, creating the magnificent trophy we see handed out during the postgame presentation.
In just a few weeks, another beautiful piece of art will be presented to college football’s best team. Artwork from Kentucky.
Those are the highlights… stay tuned.

Fallout 3 Trophy Guide Discovered
Okay, so say you unwrap Fallout 3 for the PlayStation 3 tomorrow, and you’re just dying to get started. You also know, somewhere in the back of your happy and satisfied mind, that Bethesda has delivered Trophies for the year’s best RPG. But damn, how to snag them all…?
Well, it’s true- the Xbox 360 Achievements have made their way to Fallout 3 for the PS3 in the form of Trophies, and if you’re wondering, yes, the list is identical. You’ll have to pick up everything from the Bronze “The Superhuman Gambit” Trophy to the Silver “Keys Are For Cowards” Trophy to the all-encompassing Platinum Trophy, and everything in between. If you’re dead-set on getting as many as possible, you don’t want a list; you want a guide! So head on over to GameSpy, where they have the full Fallout 3 Trophies Guide. They show you every Trophy, and if explanation is required on how to add it to your collection, they include that, too. Come 2009, Trophies will be mandatory for all developers if they wish to produce their game for the PS3, so just think how many of those glittering icons you’ll have before the end of next year… Hot titles like Fallout 3 are only the beginning, and because the game is so good, it’ll likely inspire you to get as many Trophies as possible. It’s just an excuse to play more Fallout, and who doesn’t want that?
Trophy lists for blockbusters are always fun. We can’t wait to see what’s coming for the likes of Killzone 2 and - oh dear Lord, can you imagine - Gran Turismo 5? For the latter, we imagine there will be many busted controllers; Polyphony could be uber-cruel if they really wanted to…we can picture it now: “Master Driver” Gold: Get all gold medals on all license test challenges.”
