Husker Drake Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I actually kind of like it. Especially compared to the other possibilities, it is kind of reminiscent of the Orange Bowl trophy. And I have always hated Iowa, and think they were easily the most logical rivalry for Nebraska, and now it is on the best day of the calender. Quote Link to comment
HuskerCarter Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 To the other possibilities, i like the corn bowl. (which i voted for) But someone already stated it, this is not the official trophy. Quote Link to comment
huskeraddict Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Make the 'trophy' a championship wrestling belt with Nebraska and Iowa logos and call the game "The Corn Belt". 1 Quote Link to comment
Sub-Husker Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I'd rather see the winning team get to hang a banner in the opposing team's stadium for a year... visibly signifying the ownership. Quote Link to comment
kchusker_chris Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I'd rather see the winning team get to hang a banner in the opposing team's stadium for a year... visibly signifying the ownership. Huge Iowa fan in our office - she'd been talking crap all summer. I made her agree to hang a Husker flag outside her office for the year if Nebraska wins. I agreed to hang an Iowa flag outside mine if they won. Not surprising, nothing has been mentioned about it in the last 4 weeks, and I haven't said a word. She even mentioned Minnesota this week. I just replied that they are a really good team, smiled and walked away. Silence is the best trash talk IMO. (But she will find a Nebraska flag hangingn outside her office sometime around January/February - after the sting of defeat has worn off and my sly smiles have faded) Quote Link to comment
Nebula Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Really? The Corn Bowl? That is weaker than O'Doul's. The Hy-Vee Heroes Game, featuring the Corn Bowl trophy. x100 I'm just calling it Black Friday. Quote Link to comment
CornHOLIO Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I think it would be cool. Especially if they engrave the score on it each year and make the LOSER display it in their trophy case. Iowa has a trophy case, don't they? Quote Link to comment
Stickney Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 They should play for who gets the tax revenue from all of the casino boats on the Missouri. Quote Link to comment
HuskerMack Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 As stated this is not the Hero's trophy this is between Frats I believe. This is not a B1G Ten Trophy between the teams! Quote Link to comment
JTrain Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Running with the pitchfork idea, I would've liked to see a trophy with Herbie and Herky on each side of a pitchfork in the ground (think Excalibur theme) both trying to grab the pitchfork while staring each other down with angry looks. Having said that, I agree that the forced rivalry/trophy is mostly annoying, and the trophies that arise organically (Floyd) are 100x better. Quote Link to comment
Comish Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I wanted this as the Trophy Loser claims Council Bluffs, Carter Lake & Sioux City for the year. Now that's funny.............. Quote Link to comment
HuskerMack Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 From what I can find they will not show the trophy until Game day! I did find a logo for the game. Quote Link to comment
Cina Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Ugh. After all of my voting for the pitchfork... I don't really have a problem with the corn bowl, except that I guess I feel like since we're the cornhuskers, it might seem to be connected with us a little more than with the hawkeyes, even if we are both agriculture states. If I ran the world (and, by extension, the zoo) we'd just pass a nasty can of Hyvee brand creamed corn back and fourth. Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 From what I can find they will not show the trophy until Game day! I did find a logo for the game. The article that the OP posted says that the official trophy will be announced in mid-November Quote Link to comment
