tschu Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I'm still gonna call it Farmageddon and there's nothing they can do about it. And screw Iowa St and K-state nobody cares about them. Recycling a name used to describe the meeting of two bad teams is not Nebraska. We're better than that. We're also better than a manufactured "Heroes Game" ...and given the choice between the two I choose Farmageddon. Like 1 in 50 college football fans will have ever heard of that name being used between ISU/KSU anyways. Quote Link to comment

Rivalries aren't forced, they're built through tradition, victory and defeat. However, Farmageddon is and will always be Kstate-Iowa St. 1 Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I like this. Who cares if the name sucks? There are things in life more important than a name for a college football game....honoring people who deserve it and raising money for charity are two, which this game is accomplishing. 1 Quote Link to comment
akita Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I have a friend that actually had a G.I. Joe doll made of him. I will call him and see if he will make it the trophy for this game. Quote Link to comment
flatwaterfan Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I like what they are doing with it as far as putting names on the trophy. Quote Link to comment
BigRedPowerWagon Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Personally i think the meaning behind the game is awsome but i think the name isnt great. Also remember the cy-hawk game sponsored buy hyvee. I hope our game doesnt get as lame as that trophy was. Just one big huge sponsored event seeing all that stuff here was rediculous.

The Dude Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 It's almost as embarrassing as "Legends & Leaders" and the horribly cheesy B1G logo. Quote Link to comment
Micheal Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 well lets hope the trophy is awesome looking. I do like the idea behind the name, the charitable donations and such. but i think the name could be improved a bit. Quote Link to comment
Caven Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 If you all think the trophy sucks we will be happy to keep it in Iowa City so you don't have to look at it. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 If you all think the trophy sucks we will be happy to keep it in Iowa City so you don't have to look at it. If you mean because whoever loses has to take it home and look at it every day, I concur. Quote Link to comment

Rivalries aren't forced, they're built through tradition, victory and defeat. However, Farmageddon is and will always be Kstate-Iowa St. This. All of these trophy and rivaly games in the B1G are cheesy and trite. For a conference that is so caught up in its own tradition, this really is embarassing. Personally i think the meaning behind the game is awsome but i think the name isnt great. Also remember the cy-hawk game sponsored buy hyvee. I hope our game doesnt get as lame as that trophy was. Just one big huge sponsored event seeing all that stuff here was rediculous. This plus infinity. The meaning behind the game is great, but just announcing that it is a rivaly doesn't make it so.

Blaze1up Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I could care less about the trophy just the name engraved on it for the next 100yrs. is all that matters. Quote Link to comment
