If all the recent Mizzou to the Big10? expansion talk is true what becomes of one of the great underated rivalries in all of cfb, the annual Telephone Trophy game with mizzou? It may not have the cache of the Red River Shootout or the Cocktail Party, or a famous trophy like the little brown jug of floyd of rosedale, but there is no denying that any clone or tiger fan worth their salt lives for this. I hope we can schedule and annual non-conference game with the kittens similiar to what we do with the hawks so this rivalry will live on!
Telephone Trophy?

I loathe Mizzou but if it weren't for the trophy I don't think most ISU fans would care about the rivalry.
Other than it's a nice piece of hardware to put in the trophy case, I'm not sure even ISU fans consider it much of a rivalry.
Who cares? Mizzou is not a rivalry that 90% of Cyclone fans care about.
Ranking for me:
Iowa
Nebraska
The rest of the B12
Most Mizzou fans have never heard of it unless they play one of the EA video games.
...but it's so- so ugly. Yeah, I won't miss it. No one has land-line anymore anyway.
Might be ugly, but at least it's better looking than the Cy-Hawk Trophy (even though it has a more prominent place in all of our hearts)...
I have a few friends who are mizzou alums, I've asked about it and they were shocked to hear that the ISU game was a trophy game.
I personally didn't know about it until the EA videogame, and would be shocked if more than maybe 25% of fans from either school even know it exists.
