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.

I agree with you about "manufacturing" a rivalry with Iowa. I think it's a stupid idea. Rivalries aren't forced, they're built through tradition, victory and defeat.

 

However, Farmageddon is and will always be Kstate-Iowa St.

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.

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.

I like what they are doing with it as far as putting names on the trophy.

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 whole thing feels like a shotgun wedding.

[The Dude]

It's almost as embarrassing as "Legends & Leaders" and the horribly cheesy B1G logo.

[Micheal]

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.

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.

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.

I could care less about the trophy just the name engraved on it for the next 100yrs. is all that matters.
