  Looks good. Not exactly sure what the fuck is going on in the pose, but at least someone gets a trophy.

  I guess to each their own, but to me that thing looks like it was issued by the Franklin Mint and can be proudly displayed next to the rest of your Precious Memories collection for the low price of 19.95. Not like, you know, a football trophy.

  You actually think that looks good?

  That trophy has to be a joke. I'd like to be around when the designer showed this piece of crap to his boss.

  IOWA.......fuck yea

  Does this mean that every game Iowa will play this year is a trophy game?

  I'll admit, it's not out of the realm of possibility one school saw that design and liked it. What boggles my mind is that both schools saw it and liked it.

  I wonder how many free tattoos you can get for one of those? (there someone finally said it)

  Haven't you heard the maxim that if 100 people get together to develop an idea the result will be worse than the most terrible idea from any individual?
  
  This is making the Leaders and Legends divisions idiocy look sane.
  
  What is up with the baby boomers, do they screw up everything?

  It is actually 3 payments of $19.95 if you use a credit card, please get your story straight.

  I've heard that before. I just always hope that reality is wrong.
  
  If it were made today, the "Little Brown Jug" would be the "Not-large darkly colored but ethnically irrelevant water storage unit trophy".
  
  
  Sometimes you just have to let things be.

  So the Trophy is called the CyHawk and is being sponsored by the Iowa Corn Growers Association. I guess the trophy was unveiled at the Iowa State Fair. They have announced a press conference for tomorrow at 2:00pm to discuss what is happening with the trophy. Sounds like the reaction was so overwhelmingly negative that they may be doing what the B1G Ten should have done with the Leaders and Legends names and change it.

  This trophy said football and the new one says Iowa corn. Maybe they could compromise and come up with something that has to do with it being a football trophy and that makes it clearly Iowan.

  The schools have decided to withdraw the trophy and go back to the drawing board. To make this more fail-tastic, there will be an interim trophy for this year's game.

  That's what they should have done with leaders and legends.

  Is Tom Arnold handing the trophy to the winner?
