So, what do you think for Farmageddon?

Just use this one and switch out if basket is corn or wheat.

It would be great if the trophy could say "America Needs Farmers". Unfortunately, the University of Iowa owns that phrase too.

Let’s get crazy and get accurate:

“FARMERS NEED AMERICA”

 

[Pope]

Or we could follow Iowa's logic and have it say "America Needs Lawyers"!

 

[Bestaluckcy]

How about hit Iowa where it hurts. “ America’s finest doctors”

Just to clarify, all of you Iowa State fans predicting a loss or a toss up game aren't going to complain uncontrollably if we do lose tonight, right?

WRONG. I think it is a HORRIBLE trophy. But it is hilarious. And it is perfect for this pseudo rivalry with the name FARMAGGEDON which was merely mocking Armageddon for KU vs Mu. Honestly, it’s perfect. But I don’t take forced trophies very seriously. If you try to have a serious trophy it is going to be something stupid like the Heroes trophy Nebraska and Iowa play for. Let’s go for humor and acknowledge it is stupid.

This is precisely why I want the corn belt. College football is full of old fogeys who take this stuff way too seriously.

I'm good with the grain bin. I'm not good with the corporate logo.

A grain bin is hilarious and, come on, it's the the skyline of both states.

To be fair windmills are the skyline

Let it be known that @dosry5 and @everyyard think this is a good trophy:

guess you can’t read. Never said anything about it being a great trophy. Let it be known that I do think it is damn near the perfect trophy for THIS rivalry.

I think of skylines as the view of a town/city, and it’s tallest buildings. Not many windmills in town, although they are an iconic symbol of both states

Lets face it. Ag trophies in their own right are hard to make "cool" outside of the Ag world.

For those of us who are hesitant to fully lean into our widely-held sterotypical ag identity by those outside IA and KS, perhaps a compromise can be reached that leaves out the ag.

Perhaps a trophy depicting Iowa State Patrol and Kansas Highway Patrol squad cars clocking out-of-staters going 15+ over on I-35 in an effort to get out ASAP?

An old JD or IH narrow front end tractor painted purple and silver on one half cardinal and gold on the half. Plaque on the front with the yr and the score then a plate on the back if we need more room. Screw the corporate sponsership. There are enough tractor collectors in both these fan bases, that the they can get it donated and painted for free more than likely. IMO it's even better if it runs so you can park it in the endzone area load it on the trailer and take it to the winning schools campus for the yr.

A JD "D" would be cool. On steel would look cool but if it was on rubber, it could be driven into the stadiul, in parades, etc.

We need a tractor from the year we first played - either be completely unique or go home.

Tractors from 1917 are incredibly rare and difficult to keep in running order. John Deere didn't buy Waterloo Boy until 1918.

I thought of that idea, too, wasn't sure if any JD/Farmall models were made in that specific year.

There's two small colleges that play for a cool milk-jug. Why can't we have nice things?

I think we should absolutely have a trophy. It's a rivalry, and the longest continuously played matchup in college football. That should be celebrated more than it is.

Definitely a pedal tractor type thing. Partial to it as my only trophy (other than a stupid participation trophy) was for winning a pedal tractor pull at the Boone County Fair when I was like 8.
