What's a 'forced trophy'? You're saying this rivalry game is forced? Please.

Your sphincters will be tighter than fresh-washed jeans next Saturday.

As for the trophy, I like the grain ben but an old-time prairie skyscraper/elevator would be more interesting.

The grain bin is fine but get that company logo out of there.

if it’s not a forced trophy then where is the trophy for the last 100 years?

The reasonable explanation is that these two programs sucked harder than a new-born calf for most of their history, thus having a trophy to celebrate victory between them would be like giving one to Benito Mussolini for his win over Ethiopia.

Farmageddon was coined in 2009. Perhaps any applied trophy plaques should start with that year? ;)

don’t get me wrong, I am all for a trophy. But, I think it should represent the spirit of this rivalry as well. And let’s face it, both teams have put together some good season, KSU more so, but traditionally this hasn’t been a rivalry worth tuning into unless you were diehard ISU or KSU.

I realize that is how a lot of farmers pronounce it, but it isn't spelled that way...

Come now.

We all know that, given two proud land grant institutions and the history of this series, the perfect trophy would be a bronzed cow patty.

I think ANY base would detract from it. IMO, anything you have to buy at a trophy/engraving store, et al is silly.
We could just use a plain bushel basket, maybe with a simple plaque identifying the game/schools. But otherwise just record the annual score on the side of the basket with a livestock marker, like we used to use after giving the hogs a round of vaccinations. :D
