How do we get a Farmageddon Trophy started?
- Thread starter BMWallace
- Start date
Having talked to one of the guys who took the Cyclone fire engine to a bowl game in December, I don't think I would want to be doing this most years. However, I do like the Karma that is likely to come from the route regularly going through the town of Seneca.

The only trophy in the world where it should go to the loser.
Just give this to Bill and call it good.
Case IH should sponsor, and the tractor should be a 706. Both schools use the Case IH Red Zone on radio broadcasts.
I also wouldn't mind involving Okie State in some sort of 3 way deal like the Commander in Chief Trophy between the 3 service academies, with a different trophy. Farmageddon should retain it's own thing though, due to the more extensive history.

Put this on the side of a block of wood and call it good.
I'd be going with something like this. The "D" is the prototype antique tractor. On steel, you wouldn't be driving the thing, but they only do about 12 mph anyway. A bronze one on a trophy might be realistic. Get John Deere to sponsor it.Case IH should sponsor, and the tractor should be a 706. Both schools use the Case IH Red Zone on radio broadcasts.

Honestly, everyone keeps saying get this company or that company to sponsor it, but the CyHawk is the only Trophy game I think I have heard of that has a sponsor.
That being said, if someone reaches out to an Ag related sponsor and gets them to sponsor it, would be a sure fire way to get this done. I don't know what the deal is with Iowa Corn, and what they give to have their name on it, but if another Ag company wants to sponsor it and pay for a trophy it would be done.
Otherwise it would take a grass roots campaign involving students/organizations at both schools to work together and raise money and officially bring it to both schools to get it done.
This being outside the 2 ADs deciding to get it done themselves. Which could happen, but I would see that happening more if a sponsor approached one of them.

Irresistable! And for those who don't frequent the podcast format of CF, Jared Stansberry hales from Clarinda, and Chris Williams first radio gig was at KMA in Shenandoah. So there is a lot of familiar turf new the halfway point. St Joseph is also Bill Snyder's birthplace, FWIW, so that might make a popular detour for those of the the EMAW persuasion.
I still feel that way Ted. Maybe its because I'm surrounded by too many Hawkeyes.
Kevin Haskins of the Topeka Journal, now retired sports scribe, is credited with naming Farmeggedon. Maybe we could combine ag with engineering and jazz-up the tractor trophy. Easier to paint those fenders. Looks like Caterpillar might sponsor as they do this engineering trophy. And our new coach is likely good with the idea, the direct opposite of coach Snyder with stuff like this.

Thanks. Getting a sponsor for a trophy like this is something we would need to run through our Media Rights partners, but we will take a look at it.

I didn't know you were Vin Diesel.

Just noticed this post when thread got bumped. From the "Nobody Asked" department: My dad owned a 706 for a brief time. He later told me it had numerous problems. He traded it for an 826, which we used reliably for years (eventually it became our #2 tractor).
Millennials got nothing to do with it since I'm in my 50s.Must be a millennial thing because I have no clue WTH you're trying to say.
For the record, I never saw the movie.
