I think we have a very favorable schedule in 23. Home games against Bryant, Hawaii and Colorado st. Road game UNM. That should be four wins right there. We just have to get two more wins for a successful season.

Was just scouring through the portal and noticed that Arkansas had quite a few players. Wonder if any will follow. Obviously depends on why they left, but there are several that were highly rated coming out of HS. Here’s a link to their list.

Time to christen this thing.

I think I’ll go. Were u defeated. Webster was a team captain back in the day.

There’s a hard way 8 bar in henderson somewhere. It’s changing owners and it’s becoming a parkway tavern after the 15th.

Hope to give them business for at least keeping the memories alive.

Coach Odom has been visiting local high schools. Good to see.

There were two group of Rebels Girls there. One with the skirts and one with the shorts. Are they both cheerleaders?

Jay Hill (who I was told was low score in the clubhouse) leaving Weber to be DC at BYU. They were horribly bad on defense last season. Pisses me off. I was enjoying their defensive struggles

1) the seats for those games are filled with a UNLV fan.

2) I checked my AXS this morning to see that, even though I bought 3 for Saturday, somehow they sent me 7 tickets. Don’t know how that happened. Don’t care. I called to check to make sure all 7 were mine. They are. Merry Christmas.

P.S. sorry all 7 will probably be used, otherwise I’d throw them back here.

I think we continue to roll. Hawaii doesn't look too good.

Rebs 77

Hawaii 63

While I hope that he sticks around, I don't see him as the program impacting RB that Chuck Wagon was.

I know it’s super last minute, but if anybody wants two more tickets, let me know. Just had a little scheduling conflict and won’t be able to make it.

I realize it’s way too early to even have a realistic discussion about the ncaa tourney. But it is significant progress to even be part of the discussion by ESPN:

I don’t know much about this guy at all. And I also gotta admit, this does absolutely zero to pump me up.

What I like is he has experience in a Power conference. Success? Nah, moderate … so it doesn’t excite me.

Last 20 years, nobody has had D1 HC experience let alone power conference. And we failed with those guys.

I don’t know how it’ll turn out. But man, seriously, I’m not going to peg it as a failure just because it’s not a big name.

Let’s see what he can do …

Interesting listen.

Likely won't sway anyone's opinions, but informative take by a coach that actually faced Odom. Interviewed by Cofield.

Media throwing out names they KNOW we’re not looking at just to say “what a disaster UNLV created” when we hire a lesser coach.

UNLV “leaking” names to the media with the purpose to make them look like literal morons when none of them are right.

The Wild Wild West.

I’ve been around since the Rebels played their first football game in 1968 at the old Cashman Field. I’ve been excited at every hire the Rebs made. From Ron Meyer, Tony Knap, Nunnely, Strong, John Robinson, Sanchez and Arroyo. I’ve gone to the press conference announcing the new hires. Didn’t go to yours today Barry. Not because I’m not excited, just didn’t want to fight traffic, parking etc. I want to say, your opening statement and subsequent radio interviews blew me away. I’m ecstatic you are our ( my) new coach. You “get” it already. Make the team Vegas’s team. Recruit local players. Take advantage of being in the most exciting city in the USA. I’m thinking and hoping you can become the Jerry Tarkanian of Rebel Football. Good luck on your endeavor.

He did not recruit at a high level when he was in the SEC at Missouri. Please tell me things will be verry Different this time. I understand that he is a good evaluator of talent.

2 tickets for tonight at the DLC against Hawaii. First come first serve. Send me your email and I can transfer them to you

Just saw this post on Twitter.

Yeah, I know it's early in the season and one bad loss can derail everything, but UNLV is showing up on Bracketology as a First Four Out team. I suppose they have a hard time ignoring 8-0, regardless of schedule. It's still odd though that the polls both have the Rebels as ranked 35-40th and they can't sneak into the top 68 in Bracketology.

I’m all for the guy killing the other guy.

Freakin as New Mexico as it gets.
