Tier Opportunities

Last year we had 10 tier 1 opportunities - we went 5-5.

This year, although it can change a little as teams get hotter or colder than expected, it looks like we'll have 8 opportunities ( Memphis was a tier 2 ). Mississippi State, Creighton and Dayton ( OOC). USU, Boise, Reno, SDSU and New Mexico ( Conference played away - they are tier 2 at home ).

Quad 4 loss possibilities. Omaha, Pepperdine, Pacific, Fresno( Home and Away), Air Force (Home and Away), Wyoming( Home only) San Jose ( Home and Away). We need to win ALL of these games.

KK has a decent chance to see the Dance if he can get 5 tier 1, win out tier 4 and split the tier 2 and 3.

"Jet" Thomas and Greg Burrell....

I like certain aspects of the Go-Go offense. But I don't feel the OC is taking advantage of some of UNLV's strengths with it's offensive line and at running back with Jet and Burrell. UNLV should play more smash mouth football in my opinion. The O-line is good and they showed it late at Hawaii with both Jet and Burrell. who averaged 6.5 and 8.5 yds per carry respectively for 160 yds. Both need more touches and straight up smash mouth football. Also, Burrell runs HARD IMO.

RIP JRoB

89 years old complications from Pneumonia.

my brother played for him. He did a lot of good for UNLV football. Won some big games, beat Reno and brought some NFL talent to UNLV and national exposure.

He was very good to my brother and my parents.

Back to back games, cheering hard

It’s tiring, isn’t it?

Basketball … it’s two games, but things look the same. Two games, but feels like an extension of last year and the year before. The offense is a whole lot of dribbling, a whole lot of a system creating no looks, a bland offense with poor movement, few screens of value, we have one really good player.

There’s not a lot of oomph on the team. No go to options besides Dedan. Urgency, aggressiveness seems lax. Again. Good news is we will soon be 5-1 because the home games are against the sisters of the poor. But then the road.

Football, yeah, we are 7-2, that’s awesome at face value. The offense has potential, can strike big and quickly, but overall, it’s oddly inconsistent, doesn’t sustain anything, little fluidity. Overall the run game was really good, almost 300 yards vs Hawaii who does well against the run. Almost 500 yards of total offense.

ST helped win the game (blocked punt/safety), almost lost the game (2 short field goals).

Hajj looked afraid to throw last night. Seemed like he was thinking run even before he dropped back.

We are what we are offensively. Underachieving but with high potential and that’s because the red zone. We have a better shot at scoring a TD from the 50 than the 8. They aren’t going to figure it out, we will continue to struggle there. For all our points this year, a larger than normal percentage have been set up by turnovers and special teams. There has been very little cohesion, smoothness in the offense. It’s jagged and torn with some big plays mixed in.

I don’t know if this team has peaked. Maybe I’m being hypercritical because of heightened expectations. But man, I just don’t like the flow of the offense. And it’s been most of the season, doesn’t seem like a one off.

Way OT …

So, who are the democrats going to put up as the nominee? No way they can go forward with this guy. His mind is (and has been) tapioca pudding.

I thought it was a bad debate, the cutting off of the mics actually helped Trump because it allowed Biden to continually self destruct.

Trump can’t answer a question, he goes on a tangent that’s totally unrelated to the topic. Everything is the greatest, the best ever, a record, incredible, fantastic, blah, blah, blah.

I lost count of the number of outright lies told between the two of them and it’s not like I know every fact. There were blatant lies from both parties.

I hate them both because they both fkd up everything Covid royally. Trump didn’t answer the Green Energy well enough, went on a tangent instead, Biden was for it (I consider the CO2 thing a major, major scam). Though Trump did say utilize all energy sources, I took that to mean petrol and nuclear, which I agree with, and cutting back reliance on wind and solar. Biden thinks we are respected, Trump doesn’t. Trump is right. Biden is talking about the economy as good, come on, man. I don’t know if he’s just lying or isn’t aware of anything.

Trump won, very, very easily by my eyes and ears. But let’s keep it real, the same amount of credit was due to UNLV for a crushing 56 point victory over Bethesda. Gotta consider the opposition.

So seriously, who do they roll out to replace Biden? I don’t follow this stuff closely enough. But it’s obvious they can’t go with Biden. In fact, given his mental faculties, he should have been done 2-3 years ago. Media covered up and polished a lot of shit.

This country is in a very, very bad place right now.

Rebels Media Coverage

UNLV is at war with our local media groups. The Rebels for the last few months are NEVER mentioned on Las Vegas’s main early morning talk show. It’s on purpose. A lot of friction going on. And today, November 5, our basketball home opener, got a blimp of an article in the morning sports section on page 9. Unheard of those many glorious years ago. So, what is the problem? Who owns the radio station that would allow its own show to not talk about the home town team? Something has got to give. Been going on for a while. On a lighter note, Kruger’s Rebels have a chance tonight to change course, come out RUNNIN… Come out fired up… Come out with the purpose of being Exciting… Or, we get the same vanilla product on the floor again. Your choice Rebels. Quit being mediocre. Run Rebels Run… Reinvent Runnin Rebel Fever.. win Las Vegas back again.
