UCF beats UConn, leaves 'rivalry' trophy on the field

That hurts worse than the loss. What a freaking embarrassment for us.

I didn't read the article, but I'm assuming it was an accident. It happens.

Do you really believe that?

Thus concludes the Civil Conflict. RIP.

Red Pants seems to be the Bizzarro King Midas. Everything he touches turns to lead. It matches the lead is his ass and head.

Do you really believe that?

You think they left it on purpose? Why?

 

[Matrim55]

You think they left it on purpose? Why?

Because there's no actual rivalry between these two teams.

 

[uconnell]

UCF considers the trophy a joke, they have no interest in it whatsoever.

 

[TheDoggPound]

Because they think the 'rivalry' and our zany coach are both silly.

The fact that a UConn staffer put a towel over it in an effort to hide it after UCF ignored the trophy is all you need to know.

Total embarrassment

They'd be right.

This was all about Diaco/O'Leary - it's fait accompli. Done.

 

[UConnJim]

Honestly, I blame Manuel for allowing this nonsense. The AD is supposed to be focused on advancing UConn athletics and the UConn brand. This "trophy" did neither.

NO! It's about UCF not caring about any made up BS by an idiot

 

[politics]

surprisingly, UCF is more interested in winning a New Year's Six bowl bid or beating Miami, Florida or Florida State than this idiotic trophy. Imagine that

 

[UConnNick]

Congratulations, Bobby. You've made us the laughingstock of college football today, in more ways than one. Great job!

With the trophy, yes. As for the result? I don't think the rest of the nation cares about a 21-16 UCF over UConn victory.

 

[uconnell]

24-16

 

[uconNYC]

embarrassing

 

[cgbgjr]

The trophy was a symbol for Diaco's future. Left on the field. Put a towel on it.

Those UCF bastards can't insult our coach like this. We need to follow the advice of Otter from Animal House:

"I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part."

At the next home game, half time, 50 yard line, we blow up the Civil ConFliCt Trophy.

 

[temery]

Because there's no actual rivalry between these two teams.

Why because they've dominated UConn?

It's silly they did it to send a message?

 

[BugsyCT]

The "rivalry" was conjured out of thin air by Diaco. It was a ridiculous idea. There's no history nor animosity there between the schools and the fans (we'd only played them twice at the time Disco Pants put that dumb trophy together.) UCF didn't know about it (they weren't contacted about it), couldn't even figure out why he did it, nor did they want anything to do with it. The manufactured "rivalry" is an embarrassment to UConn thanks to Crazy Bob.

That trophy should be used for firewood.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

The fact they're going out of their way to deny a rivalry shows there is a rivalry
