Iowa State Upsets Iowa, Claims Interim Cy-Hawk Trophy, Proceeds To Destroy It

by Timothy Burke | 4:31 pm, September 10th, 2011

The Iowa State Cyclones beat rival Iowa 44-41 in triple overtime Saturday, giving them rights to the Cy-Hawk Trophy — or it would if that trophy were not being quietly redesigned after mass public derision. So it figures moments after winning this ersatz trophy that Iowa State students, players, or fans would immediately destroy it.

If you’ve for some reason forgotten, the new Cy-Hawk Trophy was introduced several weeks ago only to be withdrawn after it earned nearly unanimous disapproval from the public. It looks like whatever trophy they found to serve in the interim wasn’t exactly up to the task. Look closely at the trophy in one piece right before the Fox Sports announcers send it down to Jim Knox on the field. Then look at it when they cut back to the crowd shot — it’s in several pieces.

    that was a horrible video…. i thought they were actually going to show something, not some horrible view from ontop the press box… that video was just as crappy as the HD feed for the entire game….

    How special was this win coach? Your Mom just died in July. Could someone please punch tactless insensitive jerk Knox in the face.
