New CyHawk Trophy
- Thread starter G-Rock
- Start date
Personally I think it should either have some historical significance or be about football. This one does neither.
To each his own.
When i think about a gridiron battle between to heated rivals, there is nothing more symbolic of that struggle than... A FAMILY TALKING AFTER A HARD DAY.
If that doesn't say blood rivals i don't know what does.

The same people that thought Hot Pockets were a good idea...
Embarrasing.
The new Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk trophy was unveiled on Friday on the Grand Concourse at the Iowa State Fair.
The new trophy is part of a partnership between the Iowa Corn Growers Association and The Iowa Corn Promotion Board and Learfield Sports.
“Just as the trophy reads, we are honest, hard-working, family and community orientated people,†CEO for Iowa Corn Craig Floss said.
The trophy shows a family talking after a long day of work.
“The scene of a family talking after a day’s work is representative of our state,†ISU athletic director Jamie Pollard said.
The new trophy will go to the winner of the Sept. 10 football game between Iowa and Iowa State at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames.
Well put. Several people had to sign off on this as the best idea.
Brutally ******* woeful is what it is.
Honestly - - I do not get riled up very much on this board. It's just not worth the time. But this is simply horrible and shows a level of ignorance about sport that is inconceivable.
It could certainly be better, but you are never going to make everyone happy. If it were a giant cob of corn, people would still hate it....you can take that to the bank.
What the trophy looks like really doesn't matter in the scope of things. Hell...we play for a phone with Missouri. When ISU wins and runs to claim the trophy, I doubt they will be less enthusiastic because of the sculpture.

I agree with you that people will complain about anything, but I think most people agree a giant cob of corn would be 1000x better than this. And I don't think a giant cob of corn would be cool at all.
Jesus! Put a ******* plow on it and it would be 1,000% more aggressive and appropriate. A farm family?!?! JHC!
A big football with the Iowa Corn logo on it? A big football with an ear of corn on it? A big football with a relief of that family scene on it? Any number of options using a BIG FOOTBALL for a BIG FOOTBALL GAME.
That trophy is a great example of what happens when you sell out to a sponsor and people that don't know jack **** about sports get involved in sports.
I think it's perfect. Why not base the trophy on the exact excuse that our fan base uses for not showing up to late season games?

And people thought the old was ugly. Now I really want the series cancelled because if that's the trophy I don't want to win it.
I honestly thought that no matter what they did, it would be an improvement over the old Cy-Hawk trophy. I was wrong.
