Always been my second fav team. No one stood out but the Canes managed to get a 21 pts lead.

Hope you don't mind me venting a bit. I am probably one of the few followers of UNLV who still gets the Review-Journal daily. There has been almost no coverage of how the Rebels have progressed during practice and today, no preview of today's game with Houston. There were two articles one in the Review-Journal and one in the Sun. Both were more like human interest stories about Woodward and White. They both deserve coverage but there was nothing about comparing the two teams, position by position and no RJ prediction. I find that appalling. Thanks for letting me get this off my chest.

So far it is looking average for the MWC during the first 2 weeks of the season:

Colorado St. is down 31-0 near the end of the first half to Texas with offense totals of 66 yards for CSU and 309 yards for Texas.

Air Force 14-0 end of first half to Merrimack

Boise State 14-9 Georgia Southern early second quarter

Last Week:

New Mexico 31-35 Montana Not Good

unr 24-29 SMU total offense 408 SMU 298 unr - It took SMU the first half to wake up down 17-0 then they should down unr.

Hawaii 35-14 Delaware State

SSJU 42-24 Sacramento State 17-14 Sacramento then SJSU woke up

Nice and clean

But I’ve heard that Hey Reb will be making a comeback. Not sure of when or what it may look like and there has been some opposition, but it will be coming back.

How does the team travel? Rent a plane? Benefactor?

CKK has a second straight NIT appearance or gets invited to the Vegas tournament?

Is he canned? Does he get a meager extension?

Odom still hasn't named the starter. Who's it going to be??

Thanks, @TimothyC3 , for posting all those videos. One question: no safeties?

I'm so stoked that Game Week is finally here!

I’m a little biased since I know someone who had to personally deal with Michael German back in the day.

Sounds like a journalist who needed to be straightened out a bit..

Kinda Like Joe Hawk or any of his contemporaries of his day.

Texas State? really!?!?

This is one of the few places where they have UNLV rated above Boise State. They do not seem to be concerned with our QB situation. Some people are paying attention.

It's interesting to hear both Coach Odom and Coach Fritz speak about the games. Very similar with quite a bit of emphasis on lead up schedule and eliminating issues that aren't game related. Very different than Arroyo and previous coaches that have been here. It's impressive to hear both of their thought processes going into first games. Their experience and comfort level really stands out when listening to both.

The other interesting item I noticed is that the reporters didn't ask one question about UNLV. Coach mentioned a couple of items, but that seems odd not ask at least a couple of questions about your opponent.

While unr may have played a decent game against smu compared to last year, just one look at the attendance says a lot about the standing of their football program. Only 20.263 fans showed up for what is most likely the best home game they will play this season. From the past decaded unr attendance drops off quickly as the season moves along, unr has been on a mostly steady decline for about 25K in 2013 to a low of 14905 in 2022 with a bump in 2023 back up to 16998. If unr has another bad season like last year, my expectation is that they will finish the season with attendance down again. Considering they has an attendance of 24,578 for the UNLV home game, I can see them back down to around 15K this next season.

_Some good insight into this years football team

4 games!
Check out the spread. Geeesus Reno

Dude seriously, UNLV should take a play out of Sith Acolyte’s motto.

“The Power of One” shows Dedan Thomas
“the Power of Two” shows Rob Whaley
“the Power of Many” show the rest of the team group picture..

They ranked all 134 FBS teams into tiers. Curious to see where they put UNLV. I'm guessing somewhere in the 50-60 range.

If we were number three, I'd be very mad right now with the results.
