Can we make a fan trophy for the Iowa game?

[Crushinator]

The heroes trophy makes me sad. It should make you sad too. The B1G has set the precedent that they are willing to fix egregious errors on their part (see current division names) so fixing this trophy shouldn't be too much to ask. What solutions can you offer to help the B1G decide to torpedo this trophy?

Iowa used to be called cornhuskers, so make a cornhusker trophy..

like half a cob of corn with the husks brass and cob that sit in it crystal.
kinda like this, but cut off at the bottom of the husk v...and a big wood base

other than that the missouri river is about the only other thing I can think of between the 2 states

Cool story about the origin of "Cornhuskers" in that link. That type of trophy would be pretty fitting.

Maybe after Iowa's fans take down your goalposts next Saturday they can use a piece of that.

I keed, I keed.

I like the idea of adding crystal to this trophy since it's the closest Iowa will ever get to holding any trophy made out of crystal.

If all 5 of Iowa's fans are able to tear down our goalposts, then I demand your football team be tested for PEDs!

I like the idea of honoring someone's heroic actions, but man this is cheesey as shit for a college football trophy game.

A well thought out Trophy brought out by a charismatic group would quickly eclipse the "trophy" the B1G suits and university bureaucrats mandated.

Good point. As an aside, I read the story about Floyd of Rosedale on Wikipedia, it's awesome. Read it. These things need to grow organically, it's what gives them meaning.

 

[Cornicator]

Nebraska fans have already won. We don't need a a trophy to confirm the obvious.

Not with Travis` squad from LPD at the game. Good luck trying that.

 

[HuskerNate79]

Not that it should be hard to come up with something better than the Heroes Trophy (brought to you by Hy-Vee), but if it doesn't approach the awesomeness of the Bits Of Broken Chair Trophy, why even bother?

 

[bigboxes]

Yes to retiring the Heroes Trophy. Blech. It needs to be organic for sure.

How about the loser gets Carter Lake...

 

[c2o]

WAIT... I don't like that. They already have Carter Lake.
Lose lose for us

Can you think of a better motivator.

 

[Blackshirt316]

Said it before, will say it again. Ditch the trophy and use a big heavy pitchfork.

I like it.

 

[Crushinator]

The pitchfork would be appropriate for us! We call for coaches heads over almost nothing! Iowa rides their tired coaching staff with the dogged fatalism of a bitter old spouse. Nice year, BTW, Iowa fans. Wait till you guys get back home and ole Kirk takes off the tux and switches back into his sweat pants and pit-stained undershirt (aka your typical 6 year slump).

Sorry, I don't like the look of that at all. Looks more like a sex toy than a trophy.

Yes, it has corporate stink all over it...awful.

How about we just play for a jug of Missouri River Mud???

. I can see the players and fans getting fired up for this one now!

 

[Crushinator]

We could have a "king of the water cooler" trophy. It could be a small bronzed water cooler with a crown on it that reads: "My team is better"

that's why I said cut it in half...lol

Could lay it on its sideand give it a wooden base to make it less toyish.

I said wooden base, maybe make it look like half a football, but still corn...

I much prefer the "Corn Bowl Trophy" that is exchanged between Nebraska's Innocents Society and Iowa's President's Leadership Society over the Heroes Trophy.

Some how incorporate this...

While you're at it, why not incorporate the frisbee and kool-aid into the trophy? You Iowans can't seem to get anything right.

 

[c2o]

I want a bronze trophy.
I want a cow, a pig, a pitchfork and an ear of corn on it.
And a dog.
I want a dog on it.
And I want it to be heavy.

Who's butthurt? I like Iowa's season! It guarantees NU gets to play against Kirk Ferentz coached teams for years to come!
