If you want to see a bunch of college trophies in one place, you don’t have to go any further than this year’s Iowa State Fair.
The universities are showing off their trophies in their booths at the Varied Industries Building:
- Iowa State has the Big 12 men’s basketball tournament trophy, the Cy-Hawk Series trophy, and the Big 12 women’s Cross country championship trophy.
- Iowa has Floyd of Rosedale featured prominently, but his backup singers (the Cy-Hawk football trophy and the Nebraska “Heroes Game”) are pretty wooden.
- Northwest Missouri State (which gets a lot of students from the southwest quadrant of Iowa) has its D-II football championship trophy on display.
- However, Grand View does NOT have its NAIA football championship trophy out. That was about all that was missing.
