The big winner in the trophy debacle is Hy-Vee

.... for a couple of reasons.

1) No matter what they put out there for the Hero's Game trophy it's almost guaranteed to be better received than the new Cy-Hawk.

2) Now that they've seen the outrage I think they will realize what's at stake and they will actually design a decent trophy.

What is this I don't even?

I think what Duff is getting at is that Hy-Vee is sponsoring and creating the trophy for the Iowa/Nebraska game, so they now know how passionate fans will be if they put out a crappy trophy.

They've had the benefit of seeing Iowa Corn fall flat on their face in a pile of manure.

Actually, it's worse for them. This blow-up has now heightened everyones awareness about these trophies and the negatives will get much bigger play. Prepare for - "if you thought the Cy-Hawk has bad, take a look at this load of crap...

The only way it could be worse, is if it literally was a pile of crap.

Not a chance. There is no way the trophy will be more poorly received than the Cy-Hawk. It just isn't possible. On the poll on this site over 99% of the people didn't like it.

I'm still very confident Hy-Vee or whoever is in charge of creating that trophy will screw it up.
Not all rivalries need trophies...what does UM and OSU play for again?

I agree w/ Duff, no doubt.

I'll bet at the very least they do a ton of market research before they unleash the trophy on the football nation.
