How do we get a Farmageddon Trophy started?

[BMWallace]

This game need to have a trophy. Whether it be an actual trophy, or something like an antique tractor, this rivalry needs to be official.

How do we as fans get a trophy started? Fund raising? Petition? Does anyone have contacts in the ADs office or maybe the Alumni Assosciation that could help us get this started?

Leave the trophies for the big 10, basically worthless.

Find this in whatever heap it's in, make a few changes, and...done.

I personally want one of these painted half cardinal/gold, half purple/silver. Even better if we could get Case to sponsor it.

I was thinking about Paul Bunyan’s axe. We should have a pitchfork!

Someone still needs kicked in the nuts for giving that POS the green light.

We have Trice. They have Kinnick.

....and this is what they came up with??? Make it a 9 iron to the ball sack

I don't see why a farming company wouldn't be all over this. Huge marketing opportunity and would be pretty cool!

Iowa has 37 trophy games, we might as well have a 2nd one.

That would be sick! Get like an old Farmall Super M for the trophy. Case IH could sponsor. Winning team get's to park that bad boy on their campus somewhere (indoors). Would definitely be a unique trophy.

The funniest part was the press conference where they retracted it the Iowa Corn association tried to play the victim and said something to the effect of “we were trying to go for something more than just a ‘football trophy ‘“. Not sure why they decided on a middle aged man proposing to his son with an ear of corn was the way to go.

I'm down for a tractor plus a smallish plot of land that both schools have that either gets planted with corn or wheat depending on who wins. Bonus points for doing a realy small plot in each of our stadiums

Hopefully the Iowa State Agronomy Department could run some long term continuous corn trials on our plot!

Because each company has "their color", and wouldn't want to sully the brand by using other colors.

Yeah I dont think your gonna get a full size tractor for a trophy. But maybe a bronze tractor replica on a block of wood all trophy style.
