Happy Thanksgiving Kevin:

I wanted to extend my wishes for a Happy and thankful Thanksgiving to Kevin and his family. I’m sure we are all disappointed in the way our program has gone these last few years. Yes, it will probably be Kevin’s last Thanksgiving as coach of the Rebels. But he is a Rebel and we owe him nothing but good wishes. But, over the years, especially during these holiday college basketball times, I find myself longing for the good ol days. When we used to be the Runnin Rebels and every home game was an exciting experience. We played exciting basketball, fast break basketball, in your face basketball. The T & M was electric. I hope and pray some day, we start playing like that again. It’s Las Vegas’ way. It’s MY Thanksgiving wish…

Happy Thanksgiving everyone

Sorry for the belated, working alot of extended hours right now.

I hope you found whatever it is you have in your life to be grateful for, that you were able to spend time with family and friends. I know things are awful for a lot of people right now, but there's always something, sometimes you have to look a little bit harder to find it.

Happy Thanksgiving.

A fan with

Zero faith is still a fan. A fan who keeps watching, following … in spite of feeling a situation is hopeless isn’t somebody who quit on a team, they just ain’t feeling it.

The opposite - having a ton of faith and cheer when things are extremely bleak - obviously a fan, but one without ability to assess much of anything. Too blinded. IMO, anyway.

This is really bad basketball and it has been all season long. Offense. Defense. Schemes. Fundamentals. There’s no nuggets of good that I see.

Bowl Predictions

I read two different predictions (one was Jerry Palm) who had us playing USC. I hope not. That would be a disappointing match up after a great season. Playing a limping USC team without their best player (since we know Caleb Williams is highly doubtful to play). I would rather play Texas and lose 31-14 then beat USC with a back up QB. I would like to see this team tested against a good team.

JM has been simply incredible as a redshirt freshman stepping into the QB role after DB went down. He’s talented but not necessarily in a spectacular way. His poise may be his valuable asset and fits very well into Odom’s style as well as the team’s demeanor. Seemingly a perfect fit and exactly what the team and program needed this year. Love it even more that he is a “local” kid having played at Liberty HS.
This all said, has anyone else noticed a slight trepidation in his game lately? He seems tentative at times. Yesterday’s interceptions came from poorly thrown balls as if JM was thinking rather than reacting. I could be reading more into this than should be. When JM doesn’t have his feet set is when his passes tend to be under-thrown or off-target (which I suspect happens to most QBs) but in yesterday’s first half he didn’t seem himself and I’ve seen hints of this the last few games. It seemed to fully show up in the first half.
As an aside, having DB come in and make a big run was great to see, including Marion lining up DB as a wide-out on the following play. It’s tantalizing to think how the coaching staff can begin to utilize DB and make it even more difficult to read UNLV’s offense.

Marion

... this is what I've been hearing. Yes, he interviewed with SDSU, but it's not going anywhere. You take interviews when they are given, but SDSU is aiming for experience. Still, you put your name out there. I really do think he will be here at least next season, that said, the more successful, the more UNLV impresses, the more interviews he will get. But I don't know that he will actually be OFFERED the job by anybody of high enough quality to make him stay. He could probably jump to a lower school, but it probably won't amount to the worth of what the UNLV OC job may be. He will get more money here, maybe he gets Associate HC bump, I don't know. I'm told UNLV will do what they can to keep him on that end of things.
