According to the Hartford Courant the Civil ConFLict will be known from now on as just the ConFlLict! Wow! Apparenybghis was announced at the AAC weekly media event. As Trump would say, this is HUGE.

Wow. I never got the whole Connecticut/Florida ConFLict thing until just now.

Apparently I was so mesmerized by the plastic timex clock and the grandeur of it all, the true meaning passed me by.

ConFLict. Now I get it. I'm all in. Giddy Up.

Lol, that would the ConFLiCT. Nice line about the clock.

By the way, it is not only 'yuge' but a lot very important sports people have worked on the event, so that we know that it will be amazing and much nicer than other rivalries.

The ConFLiCT: It ain't civil anymore!

Is this due to some PC (no not THAT PC) mumbo jumbo referencing the Civil War and invoking the thoughts of slavery?

I have to say I actually like "the ConFLiCT" more than "the Civil ConFLiCT". It just sounds like its been around a while. The other one just sounded goofy, like someone was trying too hard.

Or maybe just to avoid confusion with Oregon/OSU?

I'll find the mention... the change was so as not to offend people. I guess maybe the Oregonians could have been offended so maybe I'm wrong.

Really?

>>Asked again about the so-called rivalry, Diaco said he could change it to “Conflict,” so not to offend anyone.

“I’ll peel every plaque off the thing. I do not care,” the former Notre Dame assistant head coach said. “You want me to take the score from a year ago? Done. You want to add the score from 2013? Done. I don’t really care. You want to change the name because the first part of it is an implication from a few hundred years ago? Fine. I thought about all of it. We’ll call it ‘The Conflict.’ We can capitalize the ‘fl’ and capitalize the ‘ct.’ The semantics of it, I’m good on it. Whatever is least offensive to everyone involved. Whoever’s the most offended, you make it. I’m fine with that.<<

As a note he mentioned today that they did add the previous game score to the trophy.

I am assuming this is a made up quote from hcbd? If not. . . Wow.

Diaco should take the clock apart and see if he can get a White House invite.

Why not add an extra N and make it the ConnFLict.

CONN/FLict as the youngins type. The slash as a nice homage to HFD and CR.

It might just be me, but does anyone else think HCBD is spending more time on this nonsensical rivalry & trophy than figuring out a way to get play calls to our QB faster?
