They want $400K. If you had it would you?

It was something special in years past, but the rating for the show keeps slipping.

I would say pass.

I’d like to have a miniature Floyd of Rosedale

 

[ROCKY MOUNTAIN HAWK]

I’d buy Kinnick’s. Maybe. Not sure what I’d do with it though.

Put it on my front step opposite of a lion I suppose.

My son-in-law has one. Ofcourse he has it from the goofers... lol.

I just saw one on eBay for $20. It looks like a Christmas tree ornament

The one he has I believe is like 1\4 the size of the floyd of rosedale game trophy.

 

[Hawkfan_08]

I wouldn't buy a Heisman. I think rivalry trophies to buy are cool but not this. JMO.

I still bought it, lol

Could have bought one at FryFest. Or mini Heartland and trophy.

Buy a mini Heartland Trophy and then go to Madison and steal the actual one, replacing it with the mini replica and attach a note to it that says, "Because f*** Wisconsin. That's why...."

Unfortunately, buying or stealing one seems like the only ways the Heartland is coming back to Iowa.

 

[The_Joker13]

No, why would you want someone else’s trophy? Bizarre imo.

Yeah but it's also staying, so Wisconsin can f***ing beat us all they want. They aren't getting their trophy back, and no they would not, nor ever, just tell us we can keep it, either.....

Because it is fun to f*** with teams that want to beat teams I root for......

 

[hawkeyekid]

if I was going to spend 400k, I'd pay some really good skill position players, have them play for Iowa, and hopefully one of them would win a Heisman.

 

[MeetTheFerentz]

Didn't work for Reggie Bush and USC, so don't know why it would work for anyone else.

 

[Harbinger273]

I'd only buy one if my net worth was 100mil and the winner was a Hawkeye.

 

[H4wkfan4life]

My first thought was hell no, but that would be pretty cool.

If I had that kind of coin to piss away(i mean invest )

 

[H4wkfan4life]

why would you want to buy someone else painting for 10 trillion dollars?

who knows......

 

[DutchyFunStar]

As tempting as $400,000 would be, I would like to think if my grandfather had won the Heisman we as a family would donate the trophy back to the school. Ideally in exchange for a lifetime of season tickets in the club seats.

There you go.

I wouldn't have any interest in owning someone else's Heismann personally. But, it would be great to have NK's trophy prominently displayed at his namesake stadium. Would only add further to the aura of the place.

 

[Herkmeister]

Yes, I would buy a Heisman.

I would give it to Mrs. Herk for Christmas.

She would put it in the closet with all the other hated gifts I've given her.

There's a Hawkeye store in the downtown mall in Iowa City that sells a scale model of Floyd. I didn't bother to check the price, but it's available. And I'm confident that it's less than $400,000.

I think they are $100 for the good one.

Buying a Heisman Trophy, or a world/national championship ring, doesn't seem right somehow. It may be in your possession but it's not yours.

Going further, more extreme case, I would not buy a Congressional Medal of Honor. It just wouldn't be right (to me).

 

[KimJungUn]

Didn't a teenage girl steal $165,000 worth of rings from Scott Frost's garage? Why buy it (or actually win it) when you can just steal it?

 

[Hwk-I-St8]

Zero interest.

 

[GetOnTheLine]

I would not buy a trophy. Trophies are to be earned through competition, not bought.

 

[Suterman]

I might buy a Floyd of Rosedale 1/4 size replica. That sounds kind of cool.
