The Civil Conflict may not be the coolest thing to happen to UConn Football, but it could be much, much worse.
At the end of last week, Bob Diaco made UConn Football the subject of a punchline by sportswriters and bloggers who were desperately looking for something to write about during a dead period in the college sports news cycle. Diaco gave them an easy story, and they were more than happy to run with it.
Inventing a rivalry game without the permission of the other school is kind of funny, and a little crazy, but definitely not embarrassing.
