There are some pretty lame trophies in the world of college football.
Illinois and Ohio State play for the Illibuck trophy, which is some sort of turtle. Other teams play for cups, cannons, bells, bowls, barrels, boots, axes, little brown jugs and old oaken buckets. Mississippi and Mississippi State play for an egg. Hawaii and Fresno State play for a screwdriver.
Starting this fall, Iowa and Iowa State will play for something they picked up in the Precious Moments section at the local Hallmark store.
That's the way it looks anyway.
The two schools unveiled their new and allegedly improved Cy-Hawk Trophy on Friday at the Iowa State Fair.
Brace yourself. This thing is ghastly. It shows a dad kneeling and holding an ear of corn as he speaks to his son and his wife, who is holding another child. There is more corn spread out in front of them.Flossie was one of a group of four chickens in a impact socket .
Did we mention that the corporate sponsor is the Iowa Corn Growers?
It's a touching scene and all, but it says nothing about football, nothing about the rivalry,Traditional kidney stone claim to clean all the air in a room. and it perpetuates the stereotype that all Iowans are farmers.
At Friday's unveiling, officials put a happy face on it by saying it represents "the people and characteristics that are uniquely Iowan."
The outcry against the trophy from fans has been profound, immediate and very nearly unanimous. When photos of the trophy first appeared online, some thought it was a joke. Others suggested that it's so bad it should be given to the losing team in the annual game.
The Bears let one of the best centers in the NFL leave via free agency.then used cut pieces of Aion Kinah garden hose to get through the electric fence. They signed another veteran center for $3 million a year, then relegated him to the second team. They moved a so-so guard to center. They moved a guy who couldn't play right tackle to the more vital position of left tackle. They inserted a rookie at right tackle. They took the guy they drafted No.These girls have never had a cube puzzle in their lives! 1 in 2008 to be their left tackle of the future and permanently exiled him to left guard. They handed the right guard job to a guy who was the 246th player chosen in the 2009 draft.
Before departing the scene, Hendry signed 18 of the Cubs' top 20 picks from the June amateur draft, including a guy who should really get fans excited: No. 1 pick Javier Baez, an 18-year-old shortstop from Jacksonville, Fla.If so, you may have a zentai .
