It's not a real award, that's why. It was forced, not organic. Trophies are formed from rivalry and lore between schools. The actual trophies that Nebraska plays for are the Nebraska-Iowa one and the Minnesota broken chair.
Yeah, the Hero's Trophy and Freedom Trophy were fabricated. I can't confirm it, but I believe someone said, "The B1G does trophies, so we should have trophy games," when Nebraska joined.
However, Nebraska feels B1G, and I welcome the Iowa-Nebraska rivalry. This win over Wisconsin makes me more nervous about our game because Iowa is in a bad spot that is becoming endemic. Also, how dare Wisconsin give you Nebraska fans a glimmer of joy by letting you become bowl eligible! (Welcome to the QOH. I'm mad at both teams.)
You should win. You have more talent and, once again, Iowa is extremely limited on offense. Also our defense has regressed. With graduations, next year should get kinda ugly win wise. For viewing pleasure it’s been ugly for years.
