The Civil Conflict!

[Brochacho]

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.

 

[John Greene]

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?

 

[Adios]

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.

 

[SubbaBub]

Second nomination:
Rival: RU
Trophy: A Greyhound Bus
Game Moniker: The Highway Game
Fun Fact: Winner gets to repaint the right side of the bus

 

[CL82]

Ouch: http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2015/6/1/8701123/ucf-uconn-rivalry-trophy

Yeah, but I really can't argue with any of this. Crimeny, Bob at least pick up the phone and ask UCF what it thinks about your lame ass idea.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Not that I think this is a good idea (bad trophy, lousy name, rival who we share neither history nor geography), at least he decided to target the school that has been at the top of this conference in football for every season it has existed.

Replace it with a flaming Fung Wah bus and we have a winner!

 

[Alum86]

Civil War is Oregon/Oregon St.
Civil Conflict is kind of a rip off and downright lazy.

I have to say that I suggested that very thing at the end of last year and was blasted but the more I watch this guy the more I see a Shiano clone. A guy who rides mediocre results to a bigger gig. Where he is, surprise, mediocre.

 

[TigerJ]

Lol

 

[HuskyBlue08]

Now there's only 130 days and 19 hours until the next Civil Conflict.

I can barely contain my excitement.

 

[SirHypeAlot]

mother of god. Where is rock bottom for our athletic department?! Everyday they do something dumber than the day before. This .....this is just so awful it's hysterical.
