DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The reaction last summer to a proposed trophy for the Iowa-Iowa State football game depicting a farm family huddled around a bushel of corn was so negative that officials let the fans pick a design to replace it.

The folks in Iowa have spoken.

After the last trophy debacle, they’ve chosen to play it safe.

Barring a major late rally, the winner of an online vote that ends today just before midnight depicts the teams’ mascots, Cy for the Cyclones and Herky for the Hawkeyes, standing under a football and in front of corn.

The winning trophy will beat out two others; one depicting a football coming out of a corn husk and another with a football on top of a stand decorated by corn husks.

The new design, which had just over 7,000 online votes as of Sunday as opposed to just over 2,000 for the other two, will be presented to the winner of the Sept. 8 game between the Cyclones and Hawkeyes in Kinnick Stadium.

None of the finalists were the least bit provocative. But Craig Floss, the CEO of the Iowa Corn Growers Association, which sponsors the rivalry, said Friday he’s not surprised.
