billdozer15 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 My link "I just received an invitation to the event. Not sure if this is a clue about the trophy, but the invitation includes a definition for the word hero: "A person of distinguished courage or ability, admired for their brave deeds and noble qualities." Any guesses what it could be? I am guessing part of it will be Nile Kinnick and someone from Nebraska? Quote Link to comment
Lyons in the Sea of Red. Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 How about "the trophy that grows dust in Nebraskas trophy room"......oh wait that's the mizzou Nebraska bell... 1 Quote Link to comment
Blackshirt316 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Kinnick is from Nebraska. He graduated from Benson High. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Something to honor our folks in military service? That would be out of left field. Quote Link to comment
billdozer15 Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 Kinnick is from Nebraska. He graduated from Benson High. He was born in Adel, IA and lived there till he was a junior in high school. I would say he is from Iowa more than he is Nebraska. wiki page Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Corn Nation has a little blurb about it, complete with a picture of the invitation. http://www.cornnation.com/2011/7/26/2294940/nebraska-iowa-rivalry-trophy-to-be-announced-friday Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Nothing about this seems forced at all. 2 Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Nothing about this seems forced at all. Agreed. I'm not going to raise a stink, but I'd rather have this turn into a rivalry rather than just declare it a rivalry from day one. Rivalries are something you build. Quote Link to comment

A good way to kick off this "rivalry" would be a 30 point beatdown. Quote Link to comment
mnhusker Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 How about "the trophy that grows dust in Nebraskas trophy room"......oh wait that's the mizzou Nebraska bell... My Sis and Bro-Inlaw did time at grad school in Iowa so I love this rivalry Quote Link to comment
mnhusker Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 How about the River Rivalry ........... First it intentionally mocks Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas ...... I like the idea. Iowa may not like it .... I guess we could with traveling pig but why not make some $$$ and call it the Hormel Trophy ... my first job was at a Hormel Pig Farm south of Lincoln. Quote Link to comment
corncraze Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Can't we just let these rivalries form on their own??? Quote Link to comment
Bradr Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Isn't the loser of this game required to claim Carter Lake each year? That's motivation enough for me. Quote Link to comment
