Embarrasing.  The new Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk trophy was unveiled on Friday on the Grand Concourse at the Iowa State Fair. The new trophy is part of a partnership between the Iowa Corn Growers Association and The Iowa Corn Promotion Board and Learfield Sports. “Just as the trophy reads, we are honest, hard-working, family and community orientated people,” CEO for Iowa Corn Craig Floss said. The trophy shows a family talking after a long day of work. “The scene of a family talking after a day’s work is representative of our state,” ISU athletic director Jamie Pollard said. The new trophy will go to the winner of the Sept. 10 football game between Iowa and Iowa State at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames. | | |

I went to college thinking I wanted a career; turns out I just wanted paychecks.

Well that's warm and fuzzy.

I don't think I'm alone when I say I'd like to see more and more planets fall under the ruthless domination of our solar system.

 Sports journalism is people who can't write interviewing people who can't talk for people who can't read.

ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME!?!?!?!? This is awarded to a winner of a football game, not a poetry contest!!!
A travesty!!
It's an incentive to throw the game. Can you imagine 300 pound linemen hoisting this into the air after a hard fought game?!? it will look like they are killing the family on the top!

And I thought the Heroes game was a bad idea.
For the love of God, who comes up with this crap?

Maybe when the Cyclones win it this year they can put it in the broom closet and display the old one...

They must have left the design ideas to the Big 10.
Honestly, why not go with a giant combine, ear of corn, etc..? Would have been better  .

Seriously. How hard can it be to just put a giant shiny gold-colored ear of corn on top of the thing and just be done with it?
