So, what do you think for Farmageddon?
- Thread starter surly
- Start date
Will not work for ISU, by definition..
Unless that bin says Sukup on it.

I don't hate it. If this game ever gets a trophy, should be ag related. Tractor, combine, grain bin all work.
It's not my favorite trophy, but it IS my least favorite.
We can all agree that it's better than the Children of the Corn trophy, right?
That makes the crappy Cy-Hawk one that got veto’d look like the Super Bowl Trophy
Lets face it. Ag trophies in their own right are hard to make "cool" outside of the Ag world.
If it weren't for the tradition, most college football trophies would be really dumb. A pig. An old bucket. An axe. A telephone. etc.
Sure, but those trophies have legit context and stories. Contrived corporate trophies are the worst things in the world. The Farmageddon trophy should so obviously be a bust of Justin Smith Morrill but that wouldn't sell tractors or grain bins I guess...
You know, I was thinking collegiate athletics needs more things with corporate sponsorships plastered all over them. Maybe have Sukup on the other half of the bin and there's space on the front of the trophy if you take off the team names. I mean who really cares who's playing? I'd rather know who is responsible for sponsoring the game.
Other than that the trophy is perfect. Is perfect the right word?

An old JD or IH narrow front end tractor painted purple and silver on one half cardinal and gold on the half. Plaque on the front with the yr and the score then a plate on the back if we need more room. Screw the corporate sponsership. There are enough tractor collectors in both these fan bases, that the they can get it donated and painted for free more than likely. IMO it's even better if it runs so you can park it in the endzone area load it on the trailer and take it to the winning schools campus for the yr.
Now you’ve got me thinking about the traction engines, like at Old Threshers.
If the rivalry goes back to 1917, do those tractors? I honestly don’t know.
If so, there’s the model for your trophy right there.
