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!

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

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

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.

Lol

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

I can barely contain my excitement.

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.

Diaco has a long way to go to be Schiano Jr. A bowl game would be a start. There is a lot of the same talk. One of Schiano's lines "someday our best, will be enough to beat their best" sounds an awful lot like something Diaco would say.

 

[Stainmaster]

I wonder what the Perfect Hair guy has to say about this. This is the typical time for him to pop up.

 

[UConn4ever]

I like the idea of a rivalry game, but this is kind of stupid.

Only kind of stupid?

 

[Hoophound]

Bob Diaco is a crazy. His fall will be fast and ugly if he doesn't win a lot of games.

This is totally embarrassing. Fortunately, no one knows or cares. Just delete the thread and we can pretend it never happened.

Diaco managing damage control might actually be fun to watch.

 

[J187Money]

Great. Something else freescooter can blame on Warde.

 

[Adios]

Great. Something else freescooter can blame on Warde.

And actually have a lot of people agreeing with him! (Unless Diaco is trolling CFB...)

This is so bad that we just might have to pretend Diaco is trolling CFB no matter what.

 

[UConnDan97]

I love the idea that we are going to make up a rivalry with one of the best teams in the conference, not tell them about it until WE make the trophy, and then put our logo higher than theirs.

Corny? Yes.
Pointless? Yes.
Rubbing salt in the wound that we gave to them last year? ABSOLUTELY!

Pride. Heart. UConn.

 

[Wonkster]

Civil Conflict?

Are we scheduled to play Johns Hopkins in Baltimore this season?

Lighten up Francis. It's just a football game.

 

[noeynox]

The fact UCF knows nothing of it makes it really bad. Diaco should just send the thing back to Things Remembered and get his 60 bucks back.

 

[Adios]

Hey, I'll buy it for $65! That's about as high as I'll go.

Lol.

The fact that UConn knows nothing about it makes it even worse.

The school needs to put out a statement - Diaco's embarrassed the school and they need to stamp out the fire a bit.
