The lack of transparency around the past 2 weeks is astounding and won't keep the tinfoil hats from talking for years about what is going on. And is going to make one heck of a Netflix tv show...

Good thing Joe is the arbiter of all things black. When asked if he took a cognitive test he asked a black reporter if he took a test for crack and if he was a druggie. So you know, all the things that if Trump did it the liberal media would have an aneurysm over it but pretends it doesn't exist under Biden.

In reality Harris is probably one of the biggest racist in DC, that is why Biden and her made a good pair.

How come no one talks about UNLV's 4 returning starters on the offensive line? I was at the Wyoming game and sitting up close and what struck was the size of UNLV's O-Line. Massive. Both Tiger Shanks and Jalen St. John's are on the NFL radar at 6'5" 330 lbs. I checked and UNLV's O-Line is bigger than UH's O-Line. Games are won and lost in the trenches!

Another thing, the Go-Go at it's essence is a triple option offense and Sluka is a triple option QB. Good size at 6'3", 220lbs he can run and pass. Also, when it comes to the portal Sluka was initially ranked around 20-25 as far a QB's in the portal and predicted to go P4. His rating dropped once he committed to UNLV. Typical! IMO Sluka will thrive in the Go-Go.

I do think having the O line return 4 starters is huge, no pun intended. Having that kind of carryover is fantastic.

The flipside of that is that the O Line had some difficulties last season, especially towards the end of the season. The run game really struggled to do much towards the end of the season against the better teams. Pass pro probably could have been better as well.

The good news is that O lineman probably tend to improve the most with experience and getting older/stronger. But they have to get better to play the way we want, and that is with a strong run game.

Sluka will help. It adds another key for the defense in the run game. But we still need the big uglies to create holes, and every run play won't be a triple or read option. So just adding Sluka isn't enough to make our run game thrive.

"Tickets" mean Merchandise - Broadcasting - Sponsorship - its an array of revenue sources - IDK if they (fans) just all of sudden find out Bronny sucks early in the season and the "story" is over. Lakers fans pretty much put up with Kobe stinking up the joint for the first year until he matured and actually helped them win consistently. Bronny can suck ass (and he will) but even that is a STORY _ good or bad it doesn't matter as long as they are talking about you and are interested they are viewing & they are winning. LeBron is the golden ticket - his son being drafted bought him another year or two to ride off into the sunset. I hate the STORY personally and I do NOT like Lebron. Winning really isnt important as you think it is. Making Money is the goal of the owners /Not winning (shhhh dont tell the fans) IN todays day and age people don't even remember who won the NBA Championship the last couple years. Most NBA fans can NOT recite the last 3 years of Champions - They forget- but Stories. STORIES they will remember forever.

But again we are talking about the LAKERS. Probably the best brand in the NBA, and I would imagine the most profitable.
They will make money with and without this story. Their fanbase is used to their team being relevant, and that is slipping. They have been able to "buy" teams since the 90s. You don't think that their isn't some sort of heat/urgency about how they have performed in recent years?
I really doubt this "story" was that big of a factor with the Lakers. Keeping Lebron is their main priority. And if they didn't get Bronny that would have been severely challenged. They had to get Bronny.
It could be argued that it makes more sense to cut ties to Lebron from a competitive standpoint. The past couple of seasons do support that. So I do agree that it is more than just winning. But Lebron is still good enough and has pull with other players that having him is still probably better than getting rid of him. He at the very least remains a draw which helps the bottom line. They will be competitive enough, but they this cannot be sustained. But with Lebron's age, everyone realizes that.
But this novelty act of a father and son duo? Way overblown. I doubt it moves much of a financial needle outside of October.
Kobe was raw, but didn't suck. Was voted as an All star starter his rookie year, even though he didn't start on his own team. I hated this at the time. He was an exciting player on the floor, though raw at the time. He won the slam dunk contest. Bronny has nothing that would lead you to believe that he could have anywhere near the same season as Kobe.
This was 100% about keeping Lebron happy. Wasting a draft pick to make them both feel better supports that.

I don't know about SJSU. We were down 20 in the 4th. They started playing conservatively and allowed us to get within one score, but the final score was definitely closer than the game felt.
Maiava didn't look his best towards the end of the season, and there could have been drama. Or maybe not? Run game struggled against the better teams on early downs. It felt like our offense was somewhat figured out and that was about it. It's not like the rest of the team was killing it.

Click to expand...

Watching the game I really felt like Maiava dug the hole for the team and every time they had a little momentum he pulled a bad play. I also felt like after the Air Force game that coach Marion and Maiava had issues with each other, which I am sure didn't help with the play calling or the motivation for Maiava. I really felt like after the SJSU game that Maiava wasn't going to stay around because of the friction between the two of them. Maybe I am wrong, but during the Kansas game I felt like the looks between the two of them could have burned a hole through anything! My son noticed the same things as me at the Kansas game, did we see it differently than other people?

No doubt Boise won easily, but SJSU was a six point loss where the main difference was a key turnover. UNLV put themselves in a hole in the first quarter and was down 17-0 which was a problem in numerous games where UNLV offense had a slow start much of the time due to bad calls by Maiava. While he did help bring the team back, I felt like he put them in the hole in the first place. From the 2nd quarter on UNLV outscored SJSU 24-20, but only scoring 10 points in the first half ended up being too much to overcome. Watching Maiava in the last four games of the season I really felt like he took a step backwards but was lucky enough to come back verse AF. The last 3 games put UNLV in deep holes in the first half that they could come back from, so hopefully we have a QB this time around that is more consistent.

I'm really interested to see how Nevada and Wisconsin handle this politically... Ohio bent over backwards to help Dems with late convention but both states I read have pretty strongly written laws on replacing a candidate and dropping out isn't a reason. If I'm a AG, I'm not bending over backwards to help their coup... let them yell about Democracy since they're doing it already while the party elites selected their candidate

Thank you for Obamacare to both parties while all the congress and senate get amazing insurance for free federal governmental employees

As a side note my Obamacare insurance is so bad that it is cheaper for me to use my free GoodRX card to get medicine that my insurance which cost me a fortune.

Easily justifiable expense from LVCVA if you ask me. Would need continued commitment to success and strong leadership on UNLV’s part. Would also need commitment for UNLV to schedule big OOC home games, to ensure visitors are coming.

Of course obamacare was crap! It ruined the relatively decent health system that we had before and made it terribly worse.

You’ll pay less.

You haven't missed yet. However, recruiting is so dynamic I never hold any insider to 100% accuracy.

Click to expand...

This is the correct take. Recruiting changes hourly and conversations are had almost daily.

Some things to pay attention to when a recruit commits; 1. Look at his other offers and see who those schools recently took in their recruiting class and what other offers they have out, 2. Ask why didnt the new commit give his pledge earlier, 3. See if the recruit visited any other schools after UNLV, and 4. Look at if the recruit actually posted the commitment themselves or if they have any mention of UNLV on their social media. Social media is king now and a recruits page tells a lot on how they are really feeling. Add all of the answers to these questions and an answer will surface. Of course it will be 50% speculation, but when something is fishy, there is usually something more to it.
