How to make Farmageddon a trophy game?

[Al_4_State]

We probably need to win this game a little more often to make it a trophy game.

We’ve won it more than they have

CORN BELT

If it happens, lets not enlist the people who designed the first Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk trophy.

...or the guys that gave us the bugle logo. Maybe they are the same guys...

Considering the mad scramble to claim the trophy after a game, I'm not sure a trophy with multiple sharp pointed ends would be a good idea.

Wisconsin and Minnesota play for an Axe, so I think that would be okay haha

How about a rusty pitchfork...

Get one of those old cast iron tractor models and let the team that wins it paint it up in their own school colors for the year they "own" it.

I say we go the Land Grant Trophy route and just grab random **** from houses in Manhattan and Ames. For the first 10 years the winner gets to add another trinket

Probably rules out the livestock idea then, too.

I thought somebody offered an antique tractor once.

Paint half purple and silver, the other half cardinal and gold, etc.

Yeah, that's me. I've got a '53 Deere "B" (I think). Would need a lot of work. But I figure some kid could fix it up for an Eagle Scout project or something...

I would love to give it to the ISU ROTC or a Fraternity (that has ISU/KSU chapters) to be caretakers...

I think the winners year plaque could go on the engine case and the wheels could get painted cardinal/gold, purple/white(silver) for the winner.

oof, that gives the original Cy-Hawk a run for it's ****** money

We would probaby have to win some games for it to be actually, you know, relevant to reality.

Should be Bill Snyder abusing Paul Rhoads with a corn cob.

Damn, this makes me miss the old NCAA games on PlayStation. I used to love playing for the rivalry trophies. Sigh. Screw you Ed O'Bannon.

 

[dmdom]

We all can relate to this

K State tackle Dalton Risner wants a Farmageddon trophy for K-State/Iowa State rivalry

 

[Blandboy]

Would it be animal cruelty to have a live stock trophy? Since we are both big time AG schools I’d assume k-State also has a good stock barn on campus. Start with a heifer and when she is ready to retire the 2 vet schools can select one of her calves to be the new “trophy”. Is it any different than teams having living mascots?

we could recycle the Iowa State Fair butter cow.

 

[Blandboy]

Seems like a plow would make the most sense. It can also be hefted by the players, unlike a tractor.

if a plow, Deere needs to sponsor it.

3/4 of the fans on both sides of the field have no idea what this dumb new urban word means or how to pronounce it.

I think we had this same thread about 3-5 years ago, and a travelling tractor was exactly the preferred option. Bonus of having Deere or Case donate some $$ to sponsor it.

How about some barbed wire fence to keep each other off each other's land?
