The Civil Conflict!

[CL82]

I just realized that there were nine more slots on that trophy and threw up in mouth a little.

My favorite post from the original thread:

Nobody honestly thinks UConn and Temple are rivals and if we play them for a thousand years, we will not develop a rivalry with UCF.

You can't create these things from thin air.

Apparently, you can create these things from thin air. Who knew?

Am I the only one who isn't really bothered by this? As long as Diaco paid for it out of pocket and didn't waste AD money, who gives a what he does?

If you're upset about this, you probably think that those bucket hats caused the team go to 2-10 last year.

No, Diaco caused the team to go 2-10 last year.

The even sadder part of this joke is that this officially confirms that we are stuck in this conference for a long time...I never thought of giving up on this whole thing but why set something like this up if we aren't going to be doing it in 5 years...pathetic attempt at a rivalry game and I like Diaco. Ugggggh!

Schools create these gimmick things a lot. BC and Clemson created a trophy for its game. Its called the Leather Helmet. BC and ND created the Ireland Trophy. Difference is that the booster clubs from both schools sponsored the trophies, not the head coaches. What is the reaction of the UCF fan base?

What is the reaction of the UCF fan base?

"UConn has a football team?"

Looks like a trophy has already been made and the countdown is on!

 

[Stainmaster]

"UConn has a football team?"

Judging from the Twitter reactions, both fanbases are aghast and consider themselves miles above the other program.

 

[Fishy]

Is Diaco so crazy that he doesn't realize what kind of hellacious beating UCF is going to put on us over this?

That trophy is going to be under water somewhere in Orlando next year - we'll never see it again.

 

[J187Money]

So bad that it's awesome.

This.

You can bet your Azzi Fudd I will not be crowing about this trophy around here. Bama, Auburn, GA, FL, TN all have significant alumni representation in Bham. I can see it now. Lunch in the grill after a round of golf in early September, they are talking Iron Bowl, Cocktail Party, Third Saturday in October and I just jump right in with this. You would probably hear the laughing as far away as Storrs.

 

[J187Money]

I saw it on Twitter before I saw it here.

I said oh USF - they have played some crazy games... I don't feel like looking but since 1999 they have probably played USF more often than anyone.

Then I clicked on the link and saw UCF and was instantly confused.

That would make more sense. The "Voodoo 5" trophy!

 

[Adios]

We're going to the Big 12 together!

Interesting question about UCF. Do they know and or care about this?

Nope:

 

[TRest]

I am seriously considering just writing off the football program from this point forward. Diaco may be Schiano Jr.

 

[John Greene]

Nope:

I have heard of double secret probation, but double secret rivalry sure tops that.

Are you implying that all UConn needs to do to get in the B1G is replace HCBD?

Nope, they certainly don't care. Diaco just put his UConn head coach career on the line.

 

[CTMike]

Nope:

Gddamn amazing.

Do you honestly think that Warde will can him over this?

 

[Adios]

Rep matters. You know how dumb he's going to look if we go 0-2 vs UCF over the next two years?

 

[SubbaBub]

Maybe we need to workshop some real rivalry games whether they are scheduled or not, then pass the hat for a boneyard endorsed trophy.

The first nomination is...
Rival: BC
Trophy: a golden Tri-corner hat
Game Moniker: Battle of New England
Fun Fact: We'd hold it forever as their too chicken to play.

Feel like people aren't seeing this for what it is: the single greatest troll job in college football history. #UConn#CivilConflict

... and if we go 2-0??

 

[Adios]

... and if we go 2-0??

Then maybe UCF will care.
