Seems he must be having trouble finding a payday since this was announced about a month ago. Most teams have full rosters and who wants to pay for a guy with eligibility problems?Any chance he comes back or is he 100% gone?
That would double their wins from last season!I hope we stomp them out. I see a 4 win season for Reno, and that's being a bit generous
Knight Rebel, Could you give your rationale on projecting a loss to Reno? TIAI have us going 8 -4 ! Lets Go Rebels !!

We do play Boise at home. Which you first said road, then said home lol. I agree with your toss up games winning 3 of the 7 is a fair and balanced approach. Barring significant, significant injuries, I doubt it will get much worse than that. Hawaii on the road will be tougher than it should be, but a win most likely. Hard to say what we get with SDSU, Houston, Oregon State, Utah State, or even Fresno given their weird coaching turnovers.We can go undefeated but I think we finish 7-5 and 5-2 in the MWC, and we'll play on the road at Boise and lose a close one in the MWC final.
Then win our bowl game....8-6 to finish the season.
Guaranteed Wins - Utah Tech, @Hawaii, @Utah State, and Reno.
Probably Wins - Fresno, SDSU
Guaranteed Loss - @Kansas
Probably Loss - @Houston, Boise, Syracuse, @OregonSt, @SJSU.
I think the @SJSU game is the closest game that could be a win, or @Houston. Not sold on them at all. I understand it 's crazy to say any road game for UNLV is a guaranteed win, but both Hawaii and Utah State are disaster areas. I feel very good about those 4. Of course...I'm banking on a QB coming in and being able to move the ball. That is a huge IF. I do think a system like the GoGo and a QB with experience like Sluka will be able to consistently move the ball. I think the biggest X-factor for the offensive side is de Jesus. Often overlooked (he is like 5'3") but he will create havoc on the edges and force defenses and LBers to spread, leaving gaps for 7-8 yard strikes down the field for our massive TE and Cain.....until a safety comes down to help and leaves White 1 on 1 with a helpless DB.
I can't wait to see what the defense has in store. That's what excites me the most. Can we come together as a unit and stop giving up 20+ yard chunk plays time and time again. Let's get it.
Dude, I need this season to start.
P.S. I will miss seeing everyone at the games and tailgates...especially views of Scrub in rainbow yoga pants and a pink cowboy hat. God knew what he was doing when he told me not to buy season tickets this year. The son who enjoys to go to all the games is starting college next month in Utah and I didn't want the hassle of finding people to take. Now, with my wife not able to go to games this fall I know why I didn't buy season tickets for the first time since 2009. God works in mysterious ways.
Yup moved out here in 1985 from Tennessee. I was 9. Lived on a street called Lighthouse over on Bonanza/Pecos. I didn’t know what a juve hall was or what a swapmeet was.We didn’t move here until mid-1973, I believe. I think I had my 5th birthday on the road while moving from Chicago to Vegas. Probably somewhere around Albuquerque. Fifty one years to the day. My uncle Tony was here just a bit before we were, maybe a year and a half in late 1971. He originally lived off of the Eastern/Desert Inn area, my family moved to the Washington/Decatur area. Then within a year, we purchased homes in the same neighborhood, corner lots with about 20 houses separating us … that was near Paradise Park, smack dab center of Eastern/Flamingo/Tropicana/Pecos (Pecos was a dirt road back then).
I remember beyond Tropicana looking south, Sunset Park looked like an oasis. A green patch with green trees beyond 5 miles of pristine desert, some flat, some soft dunes. Tons of snakes and lizards of many different types. And nothing but clean desert beyond Sunset Park aside from some homes (I think they called it Wishing Well).
Used to be a really good city.
Exactly, Ive been there twice (not recently) and have no problem going to Memphis, not like tourists are the target but definitely areas of town Id try to stay out of. I was curious so looked this up. More than a murder a day in Memphis with a population of only 620K. Just the South being the South. Birmingham AL has had 92 murders so far this year, population 197K.Been to Memphis multiple times the past few years. Never had any issues. Just like any other big city, just be smart with your surroundings.
