Randy Edsall talking rivalries: “We’re not going to make up any trophy games or anything like that.” Crowd laughs. Nancy Stevens pats him on the back.

Added one tradition while taking away another. What a lack of foresight.

See thats what happens when an ADULT is in charge of the football program.

What?! No Bourbon Bowl?!

Only trophies I care about are the AAC championship trophy and the one from whatever bowl we win after that! But I admit it would be kinda cool if we upset UCF and the players started running around the field holding the ConFLiCT trophy.

 

[huskiepride]

It would be hilarious if we became a big name football program in the aac and UCF fell of the face of the planet and they tried to revive the rivalry to jump start their football program again. When they contacted us and we were like " nah man You had your chance. You weren't there for us during our worst...you dont deserve us at our best."

There are two jokes in that post FYI

I'm not sure I'm comfortable living in a world where The ConFLiCT Trophy no longer exists, but this crime against humanity is still going strong. I present to you the most insane trophy in all of competitive sports... The Land Grant Trophy.

 

[RSTuthill]

I suggest they keep it for one more year. UCF can win it this year and thus retire the damn trophy. Full stop. End of story. A natural death.

It cant be killed. Media mentions it every year and will continue to do so. This is just another chapter in its lore.

Yes and so, for the time being the trophy, whether tangible or not, is working. Certainly not working as envisioned, but it does generate some extra buzz, albeit of the dubious variety. This stinky trophy will be around for a long while, especially if we manage to win a few games (because then we'll naturally still want to talk about it).

Imagine UConn and Penn State creating a trophy over ice cream. Unfortunately, UConn's Dairy Bar was opened in the early 50s. That may work against us.

There's a Sandusky joke in there somewhere.
