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

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

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.
 
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.
 

Civil Conflict?

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

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

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.

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.
 
Bad idea by Bob.

Tragic career mistake for whoever is managing the UConn twitter account. Its a bad idea. But it was an internal bad idea. Putting it on twitter made it a public bad idea. UCF's reaction to the tweet made UConn a joke.

you know the funny thing about this is, I have a feeling UCF did know and let UConn roll it out, then claimed they didn't know just to make us look dumb. Ucf 1 UConn 0 in the civil rivalry
 
As if the last three seasons of 5, 3, and 2 win seasons weren't embarrassing enough, were subjected to this?

Yes. Both guys were the only ones paying attention to motivational speakers when they were young men.
 
This idea is reminiscent of the awful mechanical husky growl thing that got bad reviews and was canned. Bobby isn't coming up with the best #branding and #fanengagement ideas, but at least he's trying so in that department he's 0.5 ahead of PP and RE. Maybe he can get the bad ideas out while we're losing and nobody notices and then let someone else handle the branding stuff when the team is back to being mediocre /average.
 
Oh come on. People need to lighten up. The more I think about it, the more this amuses the hell out of me. Hey, if you're going to suck, you might as well have a sense of humor about it. Just sucking and being all serious about it isn't any better, people. Stop pretending if we stare solemnly at this dumpster fire, it'll be something other than a dumpster fire.

LIVE A LITTLE.

100% agree. This whole situation is absolutely absurd, but the flip side is when was the last time there was any discussion of UConn football on June 1?

Diaco is generating enthusiasm and interest. For a program that has had nothing but misery and misfortune for the last four years thanks to poor coaching and conference realignment doesn't it feel good to be talking about an actual football game for once?
 
I'm hoping that this is a ploy by Diaco to get his team cranked up to win a game that could put the Huskies at 3 - 3 or.... 4 - 2 for the first half of the season. Even he must realize the landscape, the history, enough to know that the Florida teams just aren't an appealing rival for Connecticut fans when we've been used to Pitt, Syracuse, BC, Rutgers and WVU for so many years. Why wouldn't he make that rivalry trophy with Cuse? They come up on the schedule, just not this year. That would make a heck of a lot more sense. UCF? Even if we beat them to take hold of the division lead..or lose to them to lose the division lead it still won't be a rivalry game, not like playing Cuse will be the following year.

Diaco..just win a ton of games, focus on that. The fans will come, the seats will be filled but you have to win a bunch of games first. You want to have a rivalry game worthy of a trophy anyone around here would give a sh.....hoot about? Get BC on the schedule.

Lol. Reading here today. Believe it or not, I talked about UCONN football today with some real people. Questions were if single game tickets were on sale yet for both Army and Navy. Something must have alerted people recently that there will be a football season. My response was that I would let them know when single game tix are available because I'll probably get an email, but after the last few seasons I wouldn't be concerned about getting good seats.

I am still in active negotiations with my wife about football game policy for the fall. Nova, Army and Navy are a given boys only w labor day thurs and army and navy, but I'm trying for some road trips too. But we've f'ikjng sucked for years now. That makes the sale difficult.

That sounds like...

A CIVIL CONFLICT!
