I’m probably stating the obvious here, but Maiava has to be the guy until proven otherwise. He showed great resiliency and grew up a lot tonight in his response to the late pick. We’re about to win some games.

Well, we had BSU and SDSU where BSU snuck a victory and Mayden had his career best (probably).

We had Air Force run all over SJSU in a dominating day.

Reno (+17) is currently up 17-0 at Texas State.
CSU (+3.5) tied at Middle Tennessee St 10 all
Wyoming (-3) trailing 9-7 at home vs App State
UNM (+3.5) tried as hard as they could to lose to UMass (seriously, check the scoring summary) but penalties in the OT period gave em multiple first downs inside the 10. Lobos won 34-31
USU (+5.5) trailing 10-0 early at home vs President James Madison

Still to kickoff:
Fresno state (-27) hosts Kent state
Hawaii (-3) hosts NMSU

AND OF COURSE the main event

UNLV (-1) @ UTEP

Back in April I mentioned to all of you that this could become reality. I would recommend approaching this article with an open mind because the Concept may be Foreign (Similar to Premier league soccer). This is only works for Football. They're looking at ways to generate TV revenue for small market teams. If you play wining Football you get to stay in the Pac 12. If your team is not good enough and you finish at the bottom of the conference you are "Relegated" to the MWC.

Here is the quote if you don’t want to read the full article.
Hines adopted the game and kept the spirit of Johnson's competition, while implementing some of the teaching sensibilities he learned from longtime NBA assistant coach Tim Grgurich, whose dedication to basketball is universally revered within the sport.

"This is just like the camps [Grgurich] used to have," Hines said. "It's just with a remix."

What will be the best method to watch the game?

Rebwins, what the deal with Oregon's extra points plays? Do they have a kicker? Prime's kids are the real deal but CU is losing big. Streaming free on Youtube

FSU vs Clemson: what a game by FSU. The only time they lead was to win it in OT. Streamed free on Youtube

If you know any other FREE streams post it here. And dont post it ANYWHERE else just a personal use.

Harvey told me that football will beat UTEP tomorrow. There was a big reunion party of a lot of Tark’s guys at the Tarkanian’s house. I’m looking forward to supporting Dave Rice out at CBU.

I can’t think of a more deserving pair of turds

Three weeks in and my take away is...

I think they are surrendering too many yards.

However.

I think this is more to do with overall talent vs scheme.

Until Odom gets his type guys they may give up more yards than you would like, but because of coaching, preparation and play calling they will be able to off set this to a degree.

Vs Vandy there were a few plays that stood out. A blind side blitz that almost lead to another turnover was called and executed to perfection. A reverse that was read and blown up and a few others.


Vs straight up run defense has been pretty stout. Has struggled with containment on QB scrambles though.

So basically, defense will struggle some to win every down because they aren't quite there yet to be dominant physically.


But schematically they will be sound and should continue to create turnovers and apply pressure through scheme.

I think there's a chance this defense will actually improve as the season wears on vs last season where it was very good out of the gate and either wore down or staff ran out of ideas.

Now I’m not saying UNLV is great. We may not even be a bowl team. Our lines have been subpar, the QB situation is dicey … we don’t really know what we have at this point.

But only a three point favorite at UTEP? UTEP is essentially a perennial twin to UNLV, historically awful. And they look like they are having a down year in which they don’t do anything well.

Yeah, it’s the road. But I really expected 7 or 8 point favorite in this game and quite honestly, I expect the Rebels to roll them.

AF beating down Utah State 32-7 at the half. Whoa!

We know it’s a great song. But is the song better than any song about Las Vegas?

I want to hear everyone's thoughts on our offense. I like the aggressive play calling that coach Marion did in the Vanderbilt game.

It is underway on Amazon Prime. Beautiful cameras work. Football!

So Its been quiet here lately. I want to know from posters here what their expectation is for this upcoming Basketball season. The roster looks improved but do you trust the style of play and will we gel enough with the squad. I spoke to a coach on staff talking tactics and I think we have a good mindset but that was more on the defense side of the ball. As I have gotten back into basketball coaching myself I think the ball screen has had a heavy influence in hoops culture. How to use it, how to defend it and the over reliance on them as well. I watched this video of Uconn basketball and the breakdown of sets. I wish we would utilize some similar plays.

Uconn Finals Run analysis

This youtuber does some good film study. The zoom action he discusses could be more used by UNLV this year as well.

So anyway, what do YOU think of the upcoming season? will we make a tournament bid of some kind?

Put a few hours in. Seeing if anybody else is on board for this game. Wondering the engagement and the thoughts of other awesome individuals...?

This is amazing...we are not alone, possibly.

talks of promotion relegation
I don't know if this promotion/relegation system is workable but it is an interesting proposition.

Announcement is coming soon!
