Season Ticket Sales

Curious to see if attendance maintains, dips, or improves with this changeover.

Honestly I could see it either way
I think it will go way up with 5-7K new season ticket sales. The unr game was a sign of future ticket sales with over 40K at the game and very few of those were from unr ticket sales. My expectation is the UCLA game will be in the 50K+ range.

Got a Quarterback

Sorry it was their #4 team barely beating our #2 and their #2 struggling to beat our #12.

Top to bottom a better conference. And what Virginia had was very brutal in the middle to the end of last season.

ACC is better for sure, but we are closer to the ACC than the ACC is to the B1G or the SEC.

No question our schedule will be much easier next year vs what he saw this past year.

But I think the leagues are closer than YOU think.
I don’t agree with YOU so stop writing paragraphs!

Got a Quarterback

So the MWC is equal to the ACC in level of competition, keep dreaming!
If that’s the case why do you keep harping about we should’ve gone to the loser PAC 2 conference? The competition in the ACC is at a different level than who we play next year with the only exception being UCLA.

I get the concern and seeing him ranked below Sluka doesn’t exactly generate excitement. Is this who Mullen really wanted or was it just the best he could get at this time? It seems like the latter which is why the concern but have to let it play out maybe he sees something he thinks he can correct? Maybe he loves Ochoa and this is backup? Or maybe this and the SC guy is the best they could get. Guess we will see.
The portal just opened?
I think it’s the former and you aren’t giving that credit.
Mullen picked him.

Remember Mullen is the home run hire, now his judgement is in question?
I know this is Rebel-net but c’mon now, it’s too early to start all this! Lol

Got a Quarterback

I’m sure there will be at least one more.

As for this kids stats? Not overly impressive. But don’t know the circumstances. But Sluka and Hajj had better numbers and they were pretty mediocre.

Mullen has done well with quarterbacks. Sure, I’d love to have a transfer sophomore that led his team to the top 25, he can run and throw with the best of them … but until Mullen proves he’s lost his knack, I don’t know what position we can take other than to trust in his judgment and abilities. He’s not a coordinator with no HC experience, he’s been through the battles.
From his past history, he is a quarterback whisperer!

Got a Quarterback

You're right their #3 team barely beat our #2 team. Their #2 team struggled to beat or 10th team.

Not even close!!! Except for the examples of it being extremely close!!!!

Season Ticket Sales

Already purchase my season tickets a couple of weeks ago for next season. It is hard to tell based on not knowing if UNLV is hold back tickets, but it looks like the east side of the stadium is roughly 80% sold out for next season. My assumption is that is based on holding back seats that have not been sold yet to those who had season tickets last year along with new season ticket sales. Since UNLV routinely holds back seats, it is hard to know for sure how many are sold, but it looks like they are already ahead of total season ticket sales from last year.

Exactly.

Would we be any happier if it was a highly ranked former recruit with zero snaps that's been riding the pine for a year or two?

A lot goes into a players success and failures that are out of their control.

I'll trust the evaluation of a guy that knows QBs.

Even though the numbers aren't eye popping.

Said it before, even with increased NIL commitments UNLV still has to play 'moneyball' when targeting players. There's more money, but not P4 money to throw around.

Anyone else pulling for Boise next week?

It was the first game of the year. But Oregon couldn’t stop Jeanty who rushed for 192 yards and 3 TD’s in a 37-34 narrow win for the Ducks. I don’t think PS defense is any better than UO. At best PS will attempt to contain Jeanty. But they won’t stop him. He is that good IMO.
PSU has a good defense I definitely think it is better than Oregon but that said I think Jeanty has a good game.

Personally I don't know if they ACC vs MW competition is going to be that stark.
ACC vs FCS? Huge difference.
We aren't going to get a finished product/plug and play QB. But Mullen has scouted countless QBs in the past. I would imagine he has a really grasp on what traits he is looking for. Where he can hide mistakes and maximize strengths based off of his system.
Disagree completely!
ACC is better hands down, it’s not even close!
P4 vs G5 is no comparison and the defenses he faced with the offense and coaching he had there, big difference!

Look at his last 6 games. That line up is absolutely brutal. He took 2 less sacks than UNLV QBs did while playing 2 less games. He was a starter for a reason, hopefully Mullen can work his magic.

Against the likes of Wake Forest and other smaller opponents, he had like 70+% accuracy.
