This effin' guy

Congrats Rebels, after going 6-1 we have finally surpassed SJSU in the power rankings, but not Boise State.
Apparently he thinks he won't get another win for "another few weeks". So I guess we are losing to New Mexico. Hate to break it to you all.

Barry Odom and job openings

The more we win, the more rumors will swirl with Odom and potential job openings. Thankfully there shouldn’t be many openings that make geographical sense, but could see a few. Houston, Indiana, Michigan St and Cal could be potential openings. Also could see someone try to poach Leipold from Kansas and they could open. Really hope we can get at least another year, but seems likely that it will happen at some point. Though I could see him waiting until his son has graduated HS. Would be a nice change though to have a coaching search for that reason. Of course, we need to keep winning. We were talking about the same thing this time last year with Arroyo and he ended up getting fired, haha.

Regarding streams....please read.

As many here know, I relay a lot of streams, when they are on things like, say, CBS Sports for those that can't get it, but when they are MTN etc, please please PLEASE read the post below I also put in the Football forum....please only push links when directly requested because they can't get the MTN at all EVEN after trying a VPN. It adversely effects the revenue the free MTN run streams get for concurrent viewers.


Please view here IF you can, if you are geo blocked, install proton VPN (free). The more concurrent streams they get the more ad revenue they get the better the streams get, just like YouTube, Twitch etc. See how that works? For the love of god don't use bootleg Kodi type streams for free content. You are hurting the very broadcasts we watch for UNLV by doing so.

You don’t have to comment Mastiff ….

But I have always found it very strange how kickers - place kickers and punters … are essentially an afterthought for many coaches. Some are grabbed through walk on … some PFO, or whatever. It just seems like there’s little urgency and the goal is to get someone who is good enough that shows some interest.
I mean, I get it in a sense. Of course you want a strong linebacker, a speedster with hands, a runner who is cat quick but can get tough yards.

I’ve always been a special teams fan (there goes my invites to Knights games) - I really do consider it to be a third of the team, offense, defense and special teams. And I think they are important. No, not just because Pizano has been near perfect this year. I think they can turn a game just as much as anybody else. And certainly more than that 4th string DB.

We’ve had some really good kickers at UNLV. Garritano won some big games for UNLV. I remember, Brad Faunce I think it was … completely flipping the field late in the game to give UNLV a rare win vs UNR back in the day.

I’d always place a premium on overall special teams play … I think the last 4 coaches essentially ignored it, it seemed like let’s pay attention to it in this last 5 minutes of practice. And I think you are taking away a chunk of what you can do on the field.

Just some random thoughts. Suffice it to say, Pizano has been huge for UNLV. And so has Jacob, both on ST and in the field of play.

Let’s check ourselves- share stats…

Call it years… decade + of being leathered/scarred from being optimistic about a new coach or wins in a row. I really do love this hire, being defensive minded!!… and the staff he put together I’m really happy with.

I have a sick feeling that we have been wining games that we should win and adding more value to them than I think is warranted. (I don’t think Coach is doing this, which I’m happy with) This was literally a back of the chipotle napkin numbers of Ws Ls of opponents records for us and our next game. While we should win the most important game of the year - I really think this is a game that is not really represented by the teams Ws & Ls. It’s still ‘early-ish’ in the season, but I think it shows a little more light on who you beat and lost to.

Wanted to share - hope others share other stats.

I see this team progressing and growing (maybe it’s the optimist in me), but I really feel the extra week with the new staff will help bring it to another level. Well,… I guess reno could say the same. :confused:

22,600

There had to be at least 20,000 people who couldn't their fat asses off the couch or away from a video poker machine to see a really exciting game. I can't imagine what it will take to get them out. This game was for bowl eligibility, against a foe that usually kicks our ass, and for a fifth win in a row ( something it appears hasn't been done in 39 years ).

Foodies: for you

I grilled up some deer ribs, some organic chicken, wild bore hind leg. The wife decided to chopped up the meats and put it into a vermecllii salad with lettuce, bean sprouts, bell peppers, peanut, assorted of mints and herbs. Top it off with some sweet cane sugar (brown) and fish sauce. Ghost, reapers and bird poops peppers on the side.

MWC Championship Scenario

Just in case we need to know.

Game is played on December 2nd! (Save the Date)

Hosted by the Team with the Highest Conference Win Pct.

We really don't want to Tie anyone. It starts to get very confusing if 2 or more Tie.

TIE BETWEEN TWO TEAMS:
1. Head-to-head result between the tied teams.
a. If the tied teams did not play each other, go to step 2.
2. Highest CFP Selection Committee Ranking (or composite of selected computer rankings).
a. If one team is ranked in the latest available CFP Selection Committee Ranking (November 21) and
wins on the final weekend of the regular season, they will be declared a participant (and/or host). If,
in that same scenario, the one ranked team in the latest available CFP Selection Committee Ranking
loses in the final weekend of the regular season, a composite average of selected computer rankings
after all games conclude the final weekend of the regular season will be used to determine the
participant and/or host;
- OR -
b. If both teams are ranked in the latest available CFP Selection Committee Ranking (November 21), the
highest-ranked team that wins on the final weekend of the regular season will be declared a participant
(and/or host);
If neither of the ranked teams win in the final weekend of the regular season, a composite average of
selected computer rankings after all games conclude the final weekend of the regular season will be
used to determine the participant (and/or host);
- OR -
c. If neither team is ranked in the latest available CFP Selection Committee Ranking (November 21)
going into the final weekend of the regular season, a composite average of selected computer rankings
after all games conclude the final weekend of the regular season will be used to determine the
participants (and/or host).

COLORADO OT

This isn't a Coach Prime bash. I said in another thread he would get showered with excessive praise for anything good he did at CU. He's also going to get lambasted in certain circles unfairly for any setbacks. Its the nature of things for polarizing figures.

His first season at CU is already a success regardless of how the rest plays out.

That said, the loss to a 1-4 Stanford team, at home, with a 29 point halftime lead is....bad. Like really bad..

UNLV Football: Where can we go?

With Coach Barry Odom, he is talking about National Championship. The first step, can we retain Coach Marion for the duration? How about Coach Scherer ...our DC? Can we keep Coach Odom at UNLV?

IMO, let play to the end of the season then figure it out. Marion will probably gone but I hope he stays because Karson Gordon is still committed to UNLV. He is Coach Marions's QB recruit. The kid runs 4.4 in 40yd The kid is balanced on the roll and throw a dart on while scrambling. He squared up.
