New CyHawk Trophy

INTERVENTION!

I don't believe any intervention is necessary. This thread is the last straw in convincing me that he just takes contrary stances to stir things up.

No words. None.

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.

That's why beginning this year, the LOSER of the game gets the trophy.


Seriously, this trophy is universally despised by both sides.

I don't understand what is so hard about making a freakin trophy. You know what the BCS trophy is? a crystal football. You know what the Superbowl trophy is? a football attached to a pedastal. It's not that damn difficult.

All the facepalm photo's combined can't compare to this

I think the guy on the far right is going for the facepalm in that picture.

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.

That trophy has historical significance - as you well know. Hence the reason for the Telephone Trophy.

This monstrosity must go. Time for CF to organize its might and let the powers that be know that this trophy must never see the light of day. Grab your pitchforks!

That trophy is the last straw, I'm now all in favor of canceling the series!

 

[CycloneYoda]

What the hell is that thing? I already miss the POS old one.

I think you have me confused with someone else. :smile:

Really...it could be much better, but my point of view is that it really doesn't matter in the scope of things. The fact there is a trophy is what matters.

Hell, we could unite with HN on this. THAT would be the spirit of Iowans.

And in that the trophy accomplishes its goal, to bring all of Iowa together as one family, Cyclones and Hawkeyes, to talk about how terrible this trophy is.

“This is literally a work of art representing the people and characteristics that are uniquely Iowan.” said Craig Floss, CEO for Iowa Corn.

Whaaaaat? "Literally a work of art"?

 

[CYphyllis]

That thing is the aborted remains after a drunken night of debauchery between the Floyd of Rosedale and the Old Oaken Bucket.

 

[stateofmind]

I took five minutes to come up with an idea, draw this up in Paint, and save it to Photobucket. And I think it looks better than that. Hell, print this crude drawing out and tape it over the concrete, (I'm sure it's not concrete, but it sure looks like it), sculpture and it instantly looks better.

If you can't tell, it's a full size football that transforms into an ear of corn.

 

[CtownCyclone]

I'm hopeful that it gets "accidentally" dropped and the "art" is damaged beyond repair.

Why did they let the Big 10 design the trophy? I am assuming that is who designed it based on the epically awfulness of it.
