The previous Cy-Hawk Traveling Trophy (and its 4 day life)

Speaking of Cy-Hawk trophies, where did the old bowling trophy end up?
It’s so unique and bad that I think they should have kept it.
Agreed. The best trophies are the weird ones. Pigs. Buckets. Brown jugs. Axes.
I said at the time that Iowa-Iowa State should play for a giant tractor tire, that players had to roll off the field. Would have been epic.
So dumb but funny. It was terrible. No question about that!
This trophy united both fan bases for a brief moment in time. We were all on the same side.
You had me curious: "The trophy was retired after the 2010 game and is to be displayed permanently at the Iowa Hall of Pride in Des Moines, Iowa."
I was aghast when I first saw it as to how "corny" it was, pun intended, because that trophy was a joke. I remember calling in to Murph and Andy's kxno radio show like many others to voice my laughter at it.
I commented, to Murph and Andy's delight, how the family probably had 10 kids overall but they couldnt get them all on the trophy. You know you need a lot of kids to help around the farm.
Who in the hell...came up with that design? Even worse...who would approve it? What a shit stain
I still can’t figure out how a room of people assigned with designing a new trophy decided they didn’t need to include a single sports reference on it.
It’s still hilarious how this blew up, and this was still before social media truly blew up. Imagine the reaction if it had happened a few years later.
Wow, the Pewter Family trophy only lasted 4 days? Why in my retrospective mind do I think we played for that thing for one year before it was retired? 4 days and it's still legendary.
That would be awesome. It can still be done too (until the day we have to end the ISU series due to Big Ten and P2 obligations). Make it so.

That is nothing to be proud of.You had me curious: "The trophy was retired after the 2010 game and is to be displayed permanently at the Iowa Hall of Pride in Des Moines, Iowa."
