Hey, Condem! What did you think of this?

In the case of the Cy-Hawk trophy between Iowa State and Iowa, the corn terrorists have won
http://www.startribune.com/sports/blogs/128278328.html

The Cy-Hawk Trophy was redesigned this year after complaints that the old one -- a simple bronze statue of a football and a player -- was a bit dated.

...

It was unveiled Friday at the state fair. And everyone pretty much hated it, likening it to a garage sale leftover or something from the Precious Moments catalog. Newspaper chats, Twitter and Facebook lit up with critics, and even former Iowa coach Hayden Fry and Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad weighed in against the new design.

...

"Nobody liked it. I think the best comment I heard was, `That's going to the losers, right'?" said Liz Ulin, a 23-year-old senior studying health science.

Liz Ulin FTW! LOL

1. What Hayden Fry said:

Since its unveiling Friday at the Iowa State Fair, the Cy- Hawk trophy, awarded to the winner of the annual football game between Iowa and Iowa State, has been widely panned and compared to a garage sale leftover or a fireplace mantle centerpiece. "I think they can do better," Gov. Terry Branstad said with a chuckle Monday. Critics seem to find the trophy of a farm family around a bushel of corn and a corn stalk a little bit, well, corny. "The farmer, family and corn is all wonderful, but I don't really get the relationship to a football game," former Iowa coach Hayden Fry​ said.

4. I don't believe it!

Iowa State has won 7 of the last 13 games with Iowa.

Could it mean that the Big 12 10 is actually better than the Big 10 12?

San Diego State, BYU, ...

2. Jesus, trotsky.

There are not enough words in Webster's to describe that calamity. Though, I plan on putting in a bid to see if I can get that thing to hang above my ki mode. Cos' it really is a fine piece of art. Fuck Iowa State!

[El Supremo]

5. I think it would go better in your back yard. >>

WTF is a ki mode?

12. So you are a satanist too?

13. Yew, I still hate that statue.

I'd pass it walking home from the bars late at night, and it gave me the creeps. Demon Horsey. That's how we hypnotize the opposition before they play us at home. Works almost every time.

15. I've got to get you some new photos, El.

Collected a ton more artwork this summer.
