Exclamation There's a new rivalry in our conference?
UConn coach buys coolest trophy ever and 1980s countdown clock. UConn Football tweets pic and declares The Civil Conflict rivalry >>>

UConn Football @UConnFootball
First day back on campus for #UConnFootball! And just 130 days until the next Civil Conflict with @UCF_Football !
12:17 PM - 1 Jun 2015

Brandon Helwig @UCFSports
Just checked w/ @UCF_Football: "We have no involvement with the trophy or creating a rivalry game with UConn." They were surprised by tweet.

Contrived rivalries suck. This may the worst of them all.

UCONN/Memphis is more of a rivalry than UCONN/UCF. We've caused each other an immense amount of butthurt in the short time we've been conference mates.

RE: There's a new rivalry in our conference?
seeing your gif of Stone Cold sure makes me miss the good ol' days of WWF. They're trying to mold Ambrose into the SCSA image, but he just doesn't have the "it" that Austin did.


Oh, and for this trophy-- does this mean that those 2 teams know they are # 11 and 12 going into the B12 to continue this "rivalry" or do they know they're staying in AAC? There's a lot of future winner plates to be added.

And tomorrow is Tuesday!

UCONN is merely hitching itself to the tail of the University that most experts believe is the next to make the power conference jump. Smart.

Except, UCF has said they didn't know anything about it...

Clock, trophy, name and UCF doesn't even know about this. The perfect storm of hilarity.

UConn fans have a nice 5 page thread going on this. Stunned? Embarrassed? Hard to describe the exact feeling over there.

The Bleacher headline was perfect >>>

I wonder if UConn will have the trophy on the sideline?
