Bushel Measure

[PeoriaHWKI]

Since everyone thought the old fashioned corn sickel was a little too "red", how about an old fashioned Bushell Measure? It is good size, you can engrave the winning team and year on it, it is tied to the agriculture industry and its history, and it is simple. A lot of the other stuff is too busy. Some of the best rivalry games are played for simple items like an ax, a bucket etc.

Agreed. The trophy should be a bushel basket. Possibly with a football in it amongst the corn.

If you google bushel measure and go to wikipedia there is a picture of what is maybe a bronzed version. Would be pretty cool. I'd rather play for something like that. Then every game fill it up with corn and a football in it that the captains can sign or mvp or whatever.

Sounds okay to me.

It should all be bronze.

I hope it is not a size of a true bushel basket then. If it is that big and bronzed it will be heavy, especially if you put a bushel of corn in it. A bushel of corn weighs 56 pounds.

You aren't supposed to measure the bushel, you are supposed to measure the stem.

I am sure 2 B1G DL can hoist a 56 pound trophy up over their heads

I'm sure they could, but what does a bronze trophy that big weigh? and who wants to lift a trophy that heavy after a game anyway. I was just joking btw.

I like the bushel idea. I wish they would call the game "Farmageddon" rather than the "heros" game is what i think people are dubbing it.

There are 4 pecks to a bushel.

Btw, whoever doesn't understand how much corn is a big deal in Iowa, check this out. (Illinois is up there too)

If it's Iowa corn, shouldn't it be a gas tank?

Just kidding. Bronze Bushel measure with the winning team (Iowa) and score etched into the side each year.
