….Almost.

But at least it’s better than plagiarizing “Farmageddon” from Iowa State/Kansas State.

Here is my contribution.

Aww man. This is so bad. Who do they pay to think this crap up??? WTF?
My six year old granddaughter could come up with better stuff than this.

Describes the “Heroes Game”. Personally I think there are worse ways to start a generic rivalry but this is far from perfect. The whole inviting random people who have done good deeds thing seems hokey and likely to backfire. Still, using it as an opportunity to raise money for charity is not the worst thing they could have done. I would have left the trophy out of it and just announced they were doing the game for charity and leave the door open for possibly creating a trophy if a reasonable idea presented itself at a later date.

If you remove the references to the teams themselves, the colors even make it look like fucking commie propaganda!

What the fuck does the big ten have against using non-idiotic names? I about ready to sob and tear my acl

Make ISU shit their pants because that’s the Cy-Hawk sponsor. This is boring, bland, not memorable and full of fail.

Leaders and Legends. The Heroes Game. Are we getting trolled by some PR firm?

“The institutions plan to honor one citizen of Iowa and one citizen of Nebraska prior to each Heroes Game for their extraordinary act. The heroes will be nominated by friends, neighbors or co-workers and will be guests of the two teams at the game. Each will also have their name and hometown etched onto the Heroes Game trophy.”

Nothing against local heroes, but it still feels pretty forced & generic. Axes & pigs & buckets leave this in the dust. Why did we even HAVE to put a name to it right off the bat and not just let it happen naturally?

I’m throwing a sub sandwich.

I still think that the loser of this game has to claim Council-tucky for a year and deal with that pile of rubble. What more motivation do you need to win?

As long as Pelini doesn’t promise play-calling duties to our “Hero” maybe this idea will just disappear from the headlines and we can ignore it..

but I don’t see why this concept has to be part of a trophy game. Go ahead and honor some local heroes at the game. Keep a plaque somewhere, but don’t make the players play for this as their award.

Leave it to Nebraska/Iowa to come up with the ahem, *corn*iest rivalry name out there.

/shows self out
//vows never to return

…. but I don’t think it is the greatest name but I understand it because of the fact that it is for the two stadiums that represent fallen hero’s of the two states. So it really isn’t that terrible and it is FAR better than L/L.

Someone some where is laughing themselves to sleep. Cant wait to see the trophy…my money is that it will be a medal that the selected heros will wear, like the one the Lion wears in the Wizard of Oz hahahaha.
