It didn’t take long, maybe four or five minutes, before UConn football coach Bob Diaco reached for the Central Florida rivalry card Monday night.
A few weeks ago, the card was pristine. There were no creases, no folds, no flaws in the “Civil Conflict” as Diaco anointed it.
But as Diaco summoned his inner P.T. Barnum at the Sign of the Whale pub in Stamford, the rivalry card was a little tattered. Actually, it was a lot tattered.
Not that it mattered to the partisan UConn alumni crowd from Fairfield County.
Everyone here, with their free drink tokens and light bites, wanted to hear about Diaco’s plan to beat up Central Florida on the American Athletic Conference schoolyard.
Even if the Golden Knights, the league’s flagship program, never got the note in lunch.
“The Central Florida stuff … that was about pride. That wasn’t a gimmick,” Diaco insisted, working the rooftop beer garden like nobody’s business.
“That was us saying, ‘Hey, we don’t like you. We don’t care if you don’t like us, but we don’t like you. At your place, at your school, you meet us by the flagpole. We’ll be there.’ “
