The Heroes Game: Hawkeyes Vs. Huskers

[SpiralHawk]

Coming your way early this Friday. Iowa Vs. Nebraska. Should be good. Don't like the stoopid Heroes concept or trophy.

As a pal says, they should be playing for THE CORN BELT -- which would be a trophy belt like a Boxing Championship Belt, that the winner would take home.

Every player on the winning team could get his pic taken wearing the belt, and then it could sit in the trophy room until it was time again for The annual post-Thanksgiving Corn Belt Game.

1. I always liked Farmageddon....

...with a trophy consisting of an ethanol plant blowing up. Have Stephen King design it. Looking forward to it, Spiral.

3. How about a free vacation to Mitchell, South Dakota?

The home of the only Corn Palace.

4. And the trophy is finally unveiled!

The Heroes Trophy is on display for the first time in Lincoln, Neb., Wednesday, Nov. 23, 2011. The University of Iowa and the University of Nebraska will hold an annual NCAA college football Heroes Game the day following thanksgiving, in which one citizen of Iowa and one citizen of Nebraska will be honored.

Here's hoping for a decent game.

7. "Life is simple here..." - Ms. Schawang

"Brenda Jo Schawang and her son Taylor visited the stadium and checked out the trophy Wednesday morning -- they gave their approval.

"It's nice. You're Nebraska and Iowa, and you're simple; life is simple here," Brenda Jo Schawang said. "This trophy does the states justice -- it's the epitome of what we are."

9. What dung. This is what happens when you let the administration pick the trophy, Instead of

the kids.

13. Lame, but better than Cy-Hawk.

10. "It may be an ugly trophy, but it's ours." - Huskers

Nebraska 20 Iowa 7

Not pretty for anyone. But Huskers finish the regular season 9-3, not great but not shameful for first Big 10 season...

[Condem]

11. And I sincerely hope that no Forumites wasted a second of their time...

...watching that game. Congrats, Spiral, but that wasn't like the Nebraska games the day after Turkey Day that I remember. And we can blame the hideous Hawkeye offense for that. Hopefully, this rivalry will become more.

12. I really think it will become more, Condem

The people of both states both want it so much. But I don't think it's going to be a bitter rival type thing over the years. Maybe more an open honest 'give me your best shot' end of season whoop dee do with, in general, mutual respect abiding. May it be so.
