Big Ten media days coming to Las Vegas

I went to an Iowa game at Wrigley vs Northwestern two seasons ago and am going to an Iowa game in Iowa this coming season vs Oregon not sure why Im subjecting myself to this, but wanting to see Iowa play a football game is only slightly better than watching the day shift strippers at the Whats Up lounge on Boulder Highway, with all due respect since I know its no longer in business and Im sure many of those ladies are no longer with us.

You can wave to the kids in the children's hospital. That's about the only reason I'd go, one of the better traditions in college football.

Larry’s Villa vs What’s up lounge

Actually it was Centerfold vs. What's Up, as they were both similar crack dens and across the street from eachother. Centerfold was especially awesome, about as big as your living room. RIP to both of those legends.

Iowa fans travel, nice folks at MD! U get teams that bring 20k to vegas, casinos will make the investment in UNLV!

That really is what it boils down to. Vegas pays a fortune to attract visitors. The city as a whole needs to realize a small investment in UNLV athletics could mean a ton of revenue with a p4 invite. When it comes to UNLV, they need to look at Allegiant stadium as another convention center.

For some reason, I think the Rebs respond positively and are semi glad Dedan won’t be hogging the ball every late second possession. We will open it up more, playing with a looseness that even Kevin can’t stop. A new, free wheeling Rebs might show vs CSU…. Just a feeling….

There is 0 chance that's the case... this team had 1 decent player. Now its a bunch of bench guys trying to play starters.

It doesnt work that way. Bannarbie isnt a guard and we cant put him out there as a guard, he'd be a defensive mess trying to guard smaller faster/agile players. Hes a 4/5...
8 man rotation prior to injury- bold for rotation players getting consistent PT
Forwards- Cherry, Hill, Pape, Bannarbie- that rotation isnt changing or adding minutes unless Kevin thinks going 3 Bigs helps him with the lack of guards.
Guards- Thomas(out), Henley, Rishwain, Bedford, Hicks...
New rotation
Forwards- Cherry, Hill, Pape
Guards- Henley, Rishwain, Bedford, Hicks
Bench- Yap(walk on), Naser(walk on)
Dedan was getting 36 minutes a game because we have no one that could play his role or minutes while he sat. He's actually averaging 38 minutes a game if you take out the AFA games that we had significant leads in and he got time to sit. thats the problem. Minutes just dont rotate to equal "looks". You just add more minutes to poorer performing players and then task them to do something they arent elite enough at that KK felt comfortable giving Thomas time to rest on the bench during games. And for what its worth, I dont see KK all of a sudden giving Hicks 25-30 minutes a game, I see us struggling more with Bedford/Henley/Rishwain playing more than any of them should be,

Hicks actually can get past guys better than dj can. CKK will likely either not play him at point or not let him do anything and rob him of what he can do.

With Thomas, KK has been playing a 7 man rotation. Thomas has been getting 36 min. That's 36 min to spread around 6 players or get Bannarbie could get more time and make it a 7 man rotation. Either way it's about 6 min additional per player.

which guys? Its not like we have a bench with a few freshmen who arent logging minutes as a rotation gets cut down late in a season. There arent any more guys to give looks too. We play every single person on the bench at this point. Hicks isnt going to play point, so I doubt hes the replacement for the minutes DJ held, which means more Bedford, Henley and Rishwain with Hicks increasing his minutes...
