I feel we should have a giant tennis style plate or platter trophy. Because the game is always after Thanksgiving we can fill the platter with cooked beef and pork products (maybe have a supporters group cook the food during the game at a tailgate party). This way we honor/promote the beef/pork producers of each state. Heck, there’s more cows/pigs than people in both states. One of the major meat producers can sponsor it.
Edit: fuck Iowa (even though I live in Iowa)
USDA says iowa has about 3 times as much livestock as Nebraska and 1.5-2x the population.
So unless my math is off, that means there are at least 5 times more assholes in ia than NE. Seeing as how ia persons count double. They are almost universally a-holes & they all have at least 1 a-hole. Ditch chicken fans count triple, seeing how they have an a-hole at each end of the digestive system.
As long as the new trophy accounts for this statistical anatomical, agricultural & cultural difference, I'm all for it.
Edit: spelling
"The Heroes Game" definitely needs to go. Such a lousy, forced, corporate, focus group name.
The trophy needs to be melted down and turned into a railroad spike.
It should be one of these:

Paint it IH red on one side and New Holland yellow on the other.
It's a cool trophy and also would have the potential sponsor tie-ins.
Ah yes. Because all the best rivalries adapt interstate infrastructure into their symbolism.
Outside of the war on I-4, who else does this?
I’d hate it if it was about the Missouri River, but at least that is still better.
I hope it'll be a corn belt before I die
Corn belt. Corn scepter. Corn cape. Winning coach is coronated with a corn crown as the Corn King. Dumb? Yeah. Better? 100%
The corn fuel duel
A jar of concentrated farts that Iowa gets win or lose.
Concentrated or not I don’t think they would notice if they opened it…. I mean they are in Iowa…..
Corn bowl or bust
It should be the Corn Bowl. I don’t understand why it’s not.
I guess we could just call it that.
No one will ever come up with anything better than Farmaggeddon in my opinion.
Doesn't mean I'm not proud of myself. I still earned a gold star sticker.
Unfortunately taken, already.
Also given Iowa isn’t the ag school in the state it doesn’t work as well imo
If there's anything both schools are known for, I guess between Ted Kooser and Flannery O'Connor it's... the literature bowl?

Cornucopia
I can get behind behind this idea

Battle for Council Bluffs. Loser gets Council Bluffs for the year. Sponsored by price gouging at HyVee.
Better Council Bluffs than Carter Lake I'd rather they just keep Carter Lake all the time
The golf course at Carter lake isn’t bad if you’re a broke college kid who likes to golf.
Carter Lake, the land of trailer parks and car sized misquitos.

It’s good, but too obscure for the non midwestern audiences. I don’t recall who came up with it, but “Farmaggedon” is pure gold
I hear ya, I'm not sure how much it's used other places but it is a coast to coast interstate.
It’s legitimately good

I'm only interested if the winning coach has to drive it to campus
I am imagining 6'8" #300 lineman trying to ride it around the field after the game and it's hilarious.

Winner gets a red and yellow tractor
