I hope Boise wins. I want them ranked top 20 when they come here.

We have to play them anyway, slap the best number on them as possible. So we can open eyes even more.

Watching vs WSU. That Jeanty is a beast!

The crowd did the wave, and it went around the circle 4 times before the fresno side gave up on it. It seemed like good crowd for a 12:30 kick off. Hoping an evening kickoff will mean more people next week.

Your guess is spot on from what I could find on the web. It seems $10 mill can get it done. Also, a prime location would be to just cover the existing practice field next to the Fertitta complex.

Typically teams do one indoor field next to their outdoor field(s) so putting it over the existing ones makes most sense

I know they have received millions towards an indoor practice field. Boyd Gaming gave $6.5 million back in March for an indoor practice facility. Also multiple other smaller donations. No clue how much an indoor practice facility will cost, but I would guess around $10-15 million assuming they would go back to the main building for shower/training facilities, and this building would only be for practice?

Friday night games aren’t traditional in CFB and traditionalists (Odom) don’t like taking the spotlight away from HS football, but there’s not much competition for eyeballs on TV Friday night. Gotta think it doesn’t hurt in terms of program exposure.

I was happy to see the Rebellion back. Large group of students covered by that large cloth banner was pretty cool.

Other than sac st being in a big town, what is fasination with them? Most of sac does not know they exist in sports.

Grand canyon would be a great add for hoop.

GCU's students (Havocs) throw a crazy party! I was at the WAC championship game last year. Those kids didn't sit down the whole time. They are moving to the West Coast Conference which is an upgrade as long as the Zags and St. Mary's stay put. GCU has solid athletic programs across the board so yes, they would be a great add. Football would never be a thing, at least as long as Dr. Mueller is there as President.

I'm surprised the Dakota State schools haven't been mentioned yet...or UTEP/NMSU?

Texas State sounds generically fake. Like it's the name of a fictional football team from a movie. I hope they go to the PAC

Why would you want that when the MWC needs a minimum of 2 more schools?

Plus if PAC Is interested in them and MWC can scoop them up its another failure in their attempt to build a conference.

supposedly they are also in discussions with the pac also but no offer from the pac as of now. i dont know much about Texas St but gets us in Texas which can help recruiting.

7th largest university in Texas. Located in San Marcos.

(Thx Wikipedia)

Not historically strong FB program but recently started investing heavily.

Look to have a good young up and coming coach. Lost today to Sam Houston State in close game.

A lot of upside for that program. Read they have solid donor base.

Think they would be a good add.

School I think even if this realignment hadn't happened MWC would have had an eye on for expansion.

Knight Rebel702 · Sep 28, 2024

Hopefully Texas State does not accept and the MW invites who they should have invited in TX first of all.

The (UTSA) University of Texas at San Antonio. They have the bigger TV market and where ranked in the Top 25 a few season ago.

They have 5-1 record vs Texas State with a better name with No "State" in it and they Play the Rebels in 2027 in LV.

Nah..this town is brain dead.

I’ve heard all sorts of excuses formula 1 traffic etc.

It will take time, but the crowds will grow. I think some of the areas they need to go after are to get the casinos to buy in bulk and hand out tickets to employees, get different groups sponsorship with the names on the board like they did in the past, give discounted tickets to kids from the school districts or free for good grades, and let there parent pay to also come. The idea is to build up a younger crowd interested in UNLV football! I also hope to start seeing more people using their luxury boxes.

Fresno gets absolutely embarrassed in Vegas?

SDSU loses to a lowly MAC team?

At least Wazzu/Boise play each other so they can get 1 win today.

Oh Fresno fans salty right now.

Calling on Tim Skipper to be fired 4 games into year one..🤣

I feel really good about the turnout. No upper sections opened, but really full in the lower level. Good crowd

Yeah it was pretty solid crowd.

I thought Keene was going to get kill at times with his play callings. This UNLV's defense is no joke.And why he trying so hard when the game so out off hand?

Because he's a competitor.

Rebel1986 · Sep 28, 2024

It took decades of bad football to destroy the fan base, unfortunately it will take time to build up and surpass the old fan based and then work towards 40K. The good thing is being ranked and winning is a cure for anything. Every game they win will bring more new fans to UNLV games.

Not very many. You could see which fans in red were the FSU fans, since those sections sat the entire game without much of a chance to cheer. Almost all of their fans had already left with 5-10 minutes left in the game.

That's good then glad to hear mostly UNLV fans. I bet next week's game has good attendance I bet Syracuse brings some fans.

TimothyC3 · Sep 28, 2024

Hopefully, part of the MWC signing bonus can be used to build an indoor practice facility. This is a must IMO in order to move the program forward.

Memphis and their facility.
