I'm assuming we are discussing the trophy only here. This thing must have been designed by a committee. That's a big problem with **** today, too much of it is decided by a committee. It used to be one guy would just do something. That something wasn't always perfect, but it was rarely terrible. Now you can't make a single decision without a committee of 12 people.
It probably went like this….
Guy 2: Let's make the trophy about football.
Guy 1: Ok, the football idea is OK but Iowa is a big farming state, so the trophy should be about farming, let’s put a farmer in the trophy.
Guy2: But it’s a football game.
Guy1: Well sure, but we gotta include farming somehow, how about a couple of farmers around a radio listening to the game?
Woman1: Would one of the farmers be a woman? Cause there are lots of women in Iowa that like the game.
Guy1: Ok… I guess we could do that.
Guy2: But, it’s about football.
Woman2: Well if it’s got a man and woman people are going to think they are married so we should probably give them some kids.
Guy1: OK, a farmer, a woman, and some kids, all standing around a radio listening to the game.
Guy2: It’s about FOOTBALL!
Woman1: I think the woman should be holding one of the kids, that would be more mother like.
Guy1: Ok… so a farmer, a woman holding one child, another kid standing, all hovering around a radio listening to the big game.
Guys2: IT’S ABOUT ******* FOOTBALL!!!!!!
Guy3: Instead standing around a radio could they be standing in around a basket of food? Cause, you know, farming produces food. And the farmer should be kneeling in the middle of his whole family, because family is important.
Guy1: Ok, so let me get this straight. The trophy should be a farmer kneeling in the middle of his family which includes a woman holding one child and another child standing to the side, and in the middle of this family sits a basket of food.
Woman1: Yep
Guy3: Yep
Woman 2: Perfect
Guy 2:
