or even think of you as other than an opponent you need to beat can it be a Rivalry? Esp a Rivalry with a trophy? Well Bob Diaco, at UConn, decided that UCF was their rival and they even had a cheesy trophy designed and a count down clock ticking off the days and hours till the next big Rivalry game with their Rival, UCF. Except UCF was never consulted and found out about it just recently when some reporters asked them about it. Not to be deterred, Diaco responded. Oh and calling it the "Civil Conflict" is so politically correct it hurts. Seriously the trophy is so hideous, if UCF wins and I were them I'd refuse the trophy. http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/13036482/bob-diaco-uconn-huskies-do-not-need-ucf-knights-consent-rivalry
