This what happens when suits try to be creative. Leave the creativity to the creative people.
Hawkeye and Cyclone Nation need to unite over this and absolutely flood Barta and Pollard with emails.
What was wrong with the corn belt, or a giant gold ear of corn or a big tractor/combine painted with both teams' colors??
wow, as if it isn't bad enough being voted last in the big 12 in everything, voted as having the worst unis in america, and now we have to hoist the ugliest trophy ever conceived!
this truly is an embarrassment. where can we start writing to petition to redo this trophy? does someone want to take up that duty?
Forget petitions... There needs to be a protest outside of their offices in Johnston.
You do know that she's a Hawkeye fan, right?
Ugliest trophy I've ever seen. I didn't like the idea of changing the trophy to begin with, but this is really an insult to what was an awesome tradition.
I hope Murph and Andy talk about this today... 9 minutes and I hope they are just as ****** as everyone else!
I'm sure they would have devoted the entire show to it. Unfortunately the cards on on KXNO so no Murph and Andy today of all freaking DAYS!!![]()
I took five minutes to come up with an idea, draw this up in Paint, and save it to Photobucket. And I think it looks better than that. Hell, print this crude drawing out and tape it over the concrete, (I'm sure it's not concrete, but it sure looks like it), sculpture and it instantly looks better.

If you can't tell, it's a full size football that transforms into an ear of corn.
At first I thought this was funny. Now, the more I look at it, I am bordering on being offended. And I have never been offended, by anything, but this trophy...it is offending me.
