Yeah the Civil ConFLiCT is, in every way imaginable, the worst rivalry ever
1. It was made up entirely by UConn without consulting UCF, UCF learned about it through twitter
2. They had only played twice before
3. The schools are 1000 miles apart, UConn isn't good enoguh to compete with UCF for divisional titles, and the two schools share nothing that would make them natural rivals
4. The name is supposed to hint at the Civil War I guess but "civil conflict" is just such a limp-dicked term for a civil war
5. When UCF won, they left the trophy on the field
6. UCF makes not accepting the trophy and not calling it a rivalry a point of pride

So what are the bad things about it?

Saban's offenses pre-Lane were pretty vanilla and revolved around a game manager QB and everybody else being bigger/faster/stronger than the other team

Sent me looking for college rivalry game names. I like the Anchor Bone Classic (Ferris State/Grand Valley State). I think it's a play on their mascots but I don't even care why it's named that.

Memphis UAB is apparently the Battle for the Bones and the trophy is a giant golden rack of ribs. MTSU/WKU is 100 miles of hate which isn't bad. Alcorn State/Jackson State=The Soul Bowl.

Baylor-SMU is The Golgotha Classic

Gus made Bama give a poo poo about offense, and here we are.

Gus also made it so Bama/UGA played for the natty.

I can see why Auburn fans are so knee-jerk angry about the guy.

This was true of all Lane's offenses pre-Saban too though. He was never some spread wizard and didn't use the QB run game at all before he got to Alabama (I'm pretty sure I've seen stories suggesting that a lot of the zone read and RPO stuff was actually from Locksley). I think it was more Saban hiring Lane and telling him he wanted to start incorporating spread elements than it was Saban giving Lane free reign over the offense.

Don't forget the curiously close game against Northern Illinois that was 7-3 going into the 4th. I'm enjoying the season but I think more than a little of their current run is the Pac-12 being on the soft side this year.

Georgia Southern-App State might be the best of the bunch. Baylor-WVU could be interesting for a couple of quarters. VT-GT is certain to be stupid one way or another.

This is probably ultimately true, being able to do the whole "play competent offense AND competent defense in the same game" sets them apart from the rest of the south this year. Or in some cases most teams aren't even doing one of those things.

Is there a Week 9 thread yet?

Almost simultaneously, App state tried to take GA Southern QB’s head off and a WV punt returner had his hip crushed (not really) while he was laying on the ground.

App State player ejected. I missed what happened to the Baylor player.
