If the president or GOP presidential candidates want to curry favor in Iowa today, they should mock the new Cy-Hawk Trophy

The Tweets were a flyin' today over the new and far-from-improved Cy-Hawk Trophy that was unveiled at the Iowa State Fair, home of a butter cow, fried butter on a stick, and the much-revered stick of butter between two sticks of butter sandwich.
Some of my faves:
@davidubben Got an e-mail about this. Thought it was hyperbole. No. The new Iowa-Iowa State rivalry trophy is the worst in sports.
@KevinAHuston The new @Iowa_Corn trophy might actually unite #Iowa and #ISU fans everywhere. In hatred of the new Cy-Hawk trophy.
@EyeOnCFB: The Iowa-ISU "Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Trophy" is just the worst: Did we learn nothing from the Potato Bowl?!
@Jason_Garnatz The new Cy-Hawk trophy is embarrassing. Whoever desgined it must not have gotten the memo that over 60% of Iowa is urban.
@waterboy1029 Amazing new Cy/Hawk Trophy! May be the worst Trophy in the history of Trophies! I think it should go to the loser not the winner!
@TMcCubbin If we ever begin a football series against Iowa, they are not allowed to design the trophy. Wow. #Mizzou
@DrSaturday: New Cy-Hawk Trophy is simultaneously the quaintest and strangest trophy in sports.
@MichaelLibbie Tell you what is wrong with the new Cy/Hawk Trophy: No bibs!
@LonelyTailgater Was the new Cy-Hawk Trophy created by the same folks who made the movie adaptation of "Children of the Corn?"
@AP_Kockler What the hell is this?
Slow to gain traction
