MWC Commissioner….winner of the MWC Championship deserves a bye in CFP

Not the way the Big 12 commissioner has been complaining, but itd be real interesting if the committee valued UNLV with 2 wins vs big 12 and a top 10 win in Championship game jump over both Big 12 schools.
Helps the argument to add us to their league, no?

MWC Commissioner….winner of the MWC Championship deserves a bye in CFP

The local media is kinda of out of it.

a couple weeks ago, every morning, leading up to the SJSU game …. One of the radio stations that goes over their daily sports brief …. UNLV finishes the season this Saturday hosting UNR …. No, we were playing AT SJSU on Friday, the following Saturday was against UNR. This was Monday through Thursday, the clip runs the same time daily as a drive to work. I just shook my head. I intended on calling them just to give them the heads up, not to be a dick, just so they could get accuracy ….

But then I realized, people don’t listen to radio much anymore. Or watch local TV much anymore. Or read local papers anymore.
Unfortunately true...now young people get their news from influencers. That's right the same 22 year olds with no higher education or media training who are trying to sell you the latest iPhone case are now the modern day Walter Kronkite getting kids to put on their keffiyeh and march.

USU gets Mendenhall

UNM doesnt have any money... Thats part of the problem. They went above their weight class to get Bronco and they had to know that if he had any sort of success he was going to leave. Sucks for them its an lateral move in conference, but Norvell did something similar because he hated Reno and frankly Id pick Logan over ABQ all day...
It is actually a lateral move out of conference.

Honestly, I think hes going to Tulsa. Maybe they're just waiting till all the conference stuff is played out to do so but the fact that we havent seen any conversation around his alma mater job opening seems to me that either he has no interest in leaving, or theyre focusing on the games and the rest will follow once thats played out this year.
Tulsa reached out to Marion but it Marion turned them down.

If you guys recall, both Marion and Odom were candidates in the last coaching search at Tulsa and Tulsa went with Kevin Wilson. Bad hire and lots of regret and issues at Tulsa.

REBS WIN IF....

I'll ban the first person that says they score more points. I'm looking at you @reagan21 .

Let's hear your reasons why or how the Rebs win on Friday.
I think UNLV has played better down the stretch than Boise State has vs similiar opposition.


UNLV wins if..

They do a better job protecting Hajj this game than last. Cannot give up more than 2-3 sacks.

Have got to hit 2 if not 3 chunk plays in the passing game. (25+ yards)

Force Madsen into 1 or more turnovers. If he plays a clean game I'm not sure Rebs can win.

Repeat performance or better vs Jeanty should be enough.
If we have MWC refs it is 50/50. If the NCAA sends in other refs UNLV definitely wins so a MWC team doesn't get a bye. Lol

REBS WIN IF....

Get stops on 3rd down. If Rebs can keep the defense off the field for 6+ minute drives, and big plays, the game will be just fine.

Thinking specifically of that game-ending drive Boise had where they killed 8 and a half minutes to end the game
3rd down on both sides will decide this game. Also want to see Marion not go to the gimmicky bullshit in critical situations. His play calling in big situations has been atrocious for two years. In 3rd and long I’d like to see us heat up the QB. He seemed to have all day against us the first time.

Reminds me of the Otz situation, DRF tried to keep him around but no dice. New Mexico tried to keep Bronco up to the Nth hour but his mind was already made up last week. Going back home to Utah was too much to pass up.

Bronco, is Mormon and is closer to his Montana home.
His, wife hated living in Alberqurque. I, think that's how you spell it.
Also, maybe he wants to go to the weak Pac, instead of the MW and "thinks" it is a better conference.
The weak Pac will have a tv contract thanks to Gonzaga. We will have nothing but an empty Mac. Football will save the Rebs, I will celebrate when we go to the Pac. MW and the little schools in the hinterlands will be left in the dust bowel of the never considered playing there.

Logan is kinda creepy to me. Pod people.

Who else?

We all know that our stars need to play a great game for us to have a chance of winning. But which members of the supporting cast do you think need to step up?

Would love to see another WR make a few catches tonight. Casey had a 50 yard catch and Bradley had a couple of catches and a touchdown, and Irvin had a couple of catches as well. Feel like we need to see one of them make multiple grabs again to keep the defense honest. Kaleo had a touchdown grab the last meeting and he's been a great target inside the 5. That play action will probably be called again tonight.

On defense, would love to see Jarvis Ware make another huge play like last week. 0 sacks cant happen again.
that would be DeJesus... He was out most of the Boise game when we really started to struggle. Its not a coincidence. His ability to move around the field and make plays to alleviate coverage on Ricky is a big part of our offense. Plus hes very shifty in the open field and their corners are not great.
