OT: What’s the biggest home you ever been to in Las Vegas..


When my mom was alive she knew the Chief Financial Officer of the Cosmopolitan. Well I didn’t know where we were going and it was one of these big behemoths.

Her daughter was young and we played outside.


The house was as big as the one for sell.

My gym friend has a house on Oakey next to the park. Thats huge as hell. He’s a nice awesome Jewish guy whose parents were in the Halocaust from Poland. Very gentle guy. Way stronger than me at his age.

Personally, how about u guys? Shenandoah???

Cruise control..

I haven’t posted much, been on cruise..

Weird occurrence for me, first time I’ve experienced the feeling of just check the scoreboard during a game/season.. This is fully due to the fact that I work night shifts now..

But that USU game took everything out of me.. Destroyed me.. The first game I got to sit down, relax & watch.. I had no cares in the world at that point, but if Rebs win that game, beat Boise, like we did & didn’t blow CSU game, we have a tourney resume to this point.. Very frustrating!

But something is off.. We need a new coach.. I hope Cronin gets canned at UCLA & Harper picks him up.. We need to be revived by a big time hire, that’s our saving grace at this point.. I’m open to other names/hires, but we need a big splash.. Have to capitalize with the momentum of football program..

Rebels Gear For Sale!

Hello there fellow Rebels! I worked for the football team for the past two seasons. I ended up accumulating way more Rebels gear than one person needs. Thought I would hop on here and post a link to my eBay page where hopefully some of my excess gear can find a friendly Rebel home! Most sizes are Medium/Large, but there are some one-size-fits-all items/accessories!

MWC

So Boise beats Aztecs by point today
USU blows out Fresno
Wyoming up 7 over Reno with 3 to go.

If you look at CSU/Reno both had great non conferences, but in conference, weakness will be exploited, both weak down low.
USU is not athletic, good mwc system team.

UNLV backcourt is issue small one dimensional in webster/Johnson, small not athletic, lack of depth.

Up front UNLV can compete, should be 4-1, no reason they can't compete this yr for top 3, is staff able to get it done?

Eye test tells me, all these top teams in MWC top 50 is BS.

I see teams with 14-3 records then look at UNLV 9-8, why, coaching that's why!

Easy 3 coming up, no excuses for KK, it's get done or get out of here.

I hate Reno

Collapse- Nepotism Never Wins

What an epic collapse in that second half! Why is Webster starting, or better yet, getting 22 minutes? He can't shoot or defend, he just stands in the corner the whole offensive possession!

The coaching decisions by Kevin were head-scratching. No clue why there is a fixation to play Webster! Keep him on the BENCH

Also, why not extend the game down 4 with 45 seconds!!

Nepotism Never Wins!!

Keyshawn Hall

Him leaving has turned into a disaster. Averaging 17 and 9.

Perhaps his defense wasn't what it should have been but we are ranked 146th in "D", how much worse does it get? Perhaps he was hard to handle but that's what coaches are for. Perhaps KK's talent evaluation sucks - can anyone say Cottrell?

I'll never know the story but you can't tell me this team is better off with him gone.

Is this a double dribble? I must be smoking crack.

Boone Brothers

First time I got to see them in a presser setting. Really enjoyed watching them (after CKK’s bland comments). They’re both articulate and come across as intelligent young men (who also like to have fun). Keylan talked about how he is still getting the feel of the team which may bode well for the rest of his season. Both also credited the coaches for the game plan against UNM so perhaps there’s hope yet with this staff.

JD Thomas, a Reason to Go the Game

While watching the game Saturday while JD Thomas was going off. I wasn't the only one watching him. The whole SDSU team, just stopped and watched him score 3 baskets in a row, knifing through their defenses like a hot knife through butter. Dutcher was watching too, until he called a time out and raised hell with his team. I talked with my season ticket holder friends this Sunday, and we all agreed as we have about 120 years of watching Rebel and other programs, that seeing him play even with coaches and players who don't appreciate and support him with effort and determination, we will go and cheer for this young Rebel Las Vegas man in a uniform. I have seen many great players over the years, Dr. J, Jerry West, Russell, LJ, and so many great UCLA, Arizona, UW, UNLV hall of famers but DJ is different. He is 18 and trying to lead a unorganized, out of shape, black hole shooters to victory. It is worth it for me and my friends, I hope it is for you too.

WE are finally a good team

I like the product

NOW

Thing is.... why does it take so long to teach thee guys how to play ?

As a coach you don't wanna break the rules and practice before October -
However Kevins big mistake this year was playing catch up. The Rebs have been way behind all year
(as far as things coming together and looking like they actually practice) with team cohesiveness

I Love improvement tho

and The Running Rebels have improved

That is why i love CBB so much _ i love seeing kids develop, mature, get better and win in life - I love it so much I Made it my occupation

I think it was Lons 3rd year - (Similarly) I wanted him fired early in the season _ by the end of the year we were in the Sweet 16 - I changed my mind

Can Kevin change my mind this year ?

I was proud to be a REBEL last night - its a good start

My CSU trip

Ok, the limited consensus is that I get to hang here. So my CSU trip story.

I don't travel or go to away games much. But this year, I thought well shit I need to get out. So we (me and dog) decided to road trip to WSU's season opener at CSU. I was then going to go to Austin TX and visit my son. In my pickup and camper. 1100 miles from YakiVegas - oops Yakima WA - where I currently live to Fort Collins. So off we go on Wednesday.

First day, all is well. Ended up in Dillon Montana, 500 miles away. Found out later that I took a wrong turn on the freeway and had I kept going I would have ended up in Idaho. Luckily it was getting dark and I pulled in only 15 miles in the wrong direction. I found this little park to relieve the dog, and promptly tripped over her, spraining the shit out of my ankle and losing my wallet, not realizing it. When I realized it, I went back to look for it but couldn't find it in the dark. Alcohol was becoming a factor at that point, and I was in a place I'd never been.

Chapter 2. I drive up the road a bit, and pull off the highway behind the guard rail. Kind of catty whompus parked, as in damn near tipping over. I'm sitting there with a bunch of full beers and a pile of emptys, when two deputies knocked on my window. Keys were not in the ignition and I was going nowhere that night. So they quizzed me a bit and I told them my sad story. They said they could take me in for DUI and I said my keys were not in the ignition and I didn't even know where they were (in my pocket). They said "physical control". Think my dog saved me, as in what are you going to do with my dog if you arrest me? So they let me go with my assurance that I wasn't going anywhere. Thank Gawd for Montana cops. In WA I would have been arrested and tased.

Chapter 3. So I groggily wake up the next morning, having slept in the cab. Opened the door and promptly fell out into the gravel because of my park job. Ouch. Let the dog out and she takes off into the weeds. Shit. I searched and finally found her across the interstate sitting by an overpass. WTF? Managed to collect her and get her back into the truck. Thankfully still had a couple of beers left to regain my senses. So at that point I had no money, no credit or debit card, no ID and was about out of gas. So I limped back into Dillon and tried to find this park, to no avail. Not enough gas to do a thorough search around town. Word to the wise when a Chevy truck's gas gauge sez you are empty, you are empty. Unlike my Subaru, which sez empty with a couple of gallons still in there.

Chapter 4. I didn't eat for 2 days as I couldn't buy anything cuz I had no money! And knew exactly no one within 400 miles. More importantly, no beer either. I finally got smart and cajoled a buddy back home to Western Union me $120 for gas money. Turns out that at 11 miles a gallon $120 ain't gonna do it. I'm again limping down the freeway at 55 to save gas, while everybody is blowing by me at 80. Got as far as Missoula then turned in for the night.

Chapter 5. So next day I got as far as Post Falls, ID. Out of gas, no more money. Now what? If I got to Spokane WA I could get to my bank. Saturday morning at this point. I pulled into this gas station, and this nice and fairly cute woman was gassing up. "Hello ma'am, I really hate to ask but could I steal $5 of gas?" The sweety had me pull forward and gave me $15 worth! I'm pretty persuasive cuz I'm pretty cute and at this point pathetic. Good because $5 would not have gotten me there. Got to Spokane with my only ID my truck's registration. Talked the bank (Credit Union) into giving me a withdrawal. Filled up and got back to YakiVegas. Needless to say, I did not get to the CSU game, and certainly did not get down to Texas. Truck and camper have not moved since. Still traumatized.

Postscript. Left my contact info with the city and county cops, never heard back about my wallet. Thankfully no one used my cards, and I only lost about $400 in cash. And pictures of my kids and not sure what else. I'm pretty sure I will fly the next time I go to an away game. And my damn ankle took about 3 months to quit hurting. Could barely walk for the first few weeks.

Hope you all get a chuckle out of this.
