Got a Quarterback

Fifty-fifty chance that he is our starter next year. Friel is probably better and I imagine we recruit one more QB before this is all done.
Friel is a SR and done I believe... and no, even if he had eligibility left, he's not starting over guys Dan brings in.
This is the guy Dan wanted. He's a high P4 talent with an arm. Was sought after by other P4 programs.

Dan Mullen on the Herd

I lived in Oregon for a year 2002-2003 when he was there and had a local radio show. One day he was just going off on Tark and UNLV how much they cheated, Richard Perry stuff, etc, etc. So I wrote him an email basically saying I agree that Tark wasnt clean by NCAA standards but he was far from a lone wolf in that regard. He replied back with a full page rant basically saying what he had said on the air then tells me when he lived in LV he dated a girl that knew Ice and she told him (Cowherd) about all of the shady shit that went on at UNLV.

My other encounter with him was at the Rebel Pub in the early 90's when I was in school when Cowherd the same time he on the air in LV. I was there with InnZoneReb and we were like hey lets see if this guy knows anything about sports. He is UW fan from Washington so we start talking to him and he was talking about UW and I decide to check his knowledge so I ask him what High school Napoleon Kaufman who was at UW at the time, went to. He quickly said Lompoc. Apparently we decided that was enough he passed and we decided he did know sports...
I was going to bring that up. That was hilarious. Couldn't believe he knew Nap went to Lompoc. I was like OK maybe he isn't such a dork. The other good one was when we caught Boomer Esiason trying to sneak in with his UNLV cheerleader GF.

Anyone else pulling for Boise next week?

I hope they win but wouldn’t go as far to say I’m rooting for them if that makes any sense. They beats twice fair & square so I can’t hold that against them. Bolting for the PAC kinda sucks but in the grand scheme of things it doesn’t make a huge difference for the future of UNLV football. Biggest drawback to BSU winning is it will give them a greater advantage in recruiting. Advantage to us is of course the $$. Tough call but I lean slightly to the win side.
It will be interesting to see how they do against Penn State. Although it would be great for the Mountain West Conf. if they won, I don't think they will.

All 4 games this weekend, exposed the depth of College Football, outside of maybe the top 4-6 teams, and OSU is top 4, throw out the Michigan game, i wouldnt be totally surprised if they win the whole thing.

PSU has so much more talent and depth than BSU, they really have to be creative, the QB for PSU is ok passer, need to get after him, he's probably better runner against better comp.

For UNLV to really elevate the football program they need to be 2 deep on both lines with at least 2-3 guys who can play multiple positions, getting skilled players should not be issue with Mullen taking over. MWC is truly garbage league, you take BSU/UNLV, it smelled worse then Las Vegas Wash on perfect night where the wind blew into the Silver Bowl, i lived it, lol.

They finally have decided to go into the football program, and by doing so, it will help the whole athletic department, now it's time to get a basketball coach, watching them walk up the court and struggle to score 65 points is totally garbage, to the 4,100 yesterday paid attendance bless you for watching that garbage. My last game i saw was up in Brooklyn, beating Temple after getting the brakes beat off them by Stanford, so if i never go to another game, i saw them win my last game. That's how bad it is for me, i dont care anymore, have no plans to go to MWC Tourny, with LK/Rice i use to go, beating BYU was awesome in front of 18k, the Mack was so much fun, now it's going to a funeral home.
"4,100 yesterday paid attendance bless you for watching that garbage"

If there were 4100 paid, 2500 of them must have stayed in the restrooms because they weren't watching the game.

Can't do it.


They and the rest of the 'PAC' will view it as lending credibility to their new conference. It won't mean squat for the MWC schools. The 'PAC' will use it as fodder to sell to media partners in an attempt to strengthen their media package.

Broadcast is just as likely to bring up Boise becoming a member of the new PAC as they are discussing anything about the MWC.
On the other hand.
Boise losing may prove to the haters that they don't belong.
Them being ranked as high was a bit of a shock. Are they setting them up to fail or giving respect?
But we are G5 for now and likely for the foreseeable future. MW vs PAC shouldnt matter right now, it's David vs Goliath. We need g5 to show up so we get the benefit of the doubt when it is our turn.
They don't need to win the while thing, just beat Penn State.

I have seen a comment regarding their support in a couple of places, but nothing that was solid evidence that is true. It would be nice if the Big 12 had teams pushing for UNLV. I believe UNLV could also be a good move for the Big12 to get a large fan base by moving in a southwesterly direction.
I would like to see us schedule a game with ybu at Allegiant. We might get the largest attendance yet.

Hell yes, win the whole thing!
  • It would bring in money, exposure, conversation on G5 teams…. Possibly a UNLV name drop with coverage.
  • It’s really an easy business decision to pull for them.
What your ego wants is another thing.

Can't do it.

New OL coach?

Yeah our O line wasn’t exactly our biggest strength I would rather our kicker and some of our defensive players if given a choice but stability is good in any event.
I thought our offensive line was pretty solid. Wore teams down especially in the run game. They completely broke SJSU in the 4th quarter.

A lot of their sacks allowed were probably unfair to hold against them as hajj didn’t have the ability to throw the ball away and give up terrible sacks.
