So not a lot of in depth detail from anywhere - and remember, this is SUU so there are other angles with info. Still tight, trying to stitch info together. But it was a complete blowout from what I understand. SUU couldn’t match up anywhere, UNLV did what they wanted.

UNLV is extremely active defensively. Think SDSU. Not as skilled or athletic, probably quicker, but it’s all in on the defensive end. They create a lot of mayhem and turnovers and easy buckets against lesser competition. And that will show in OOC because everyone is lesser competition.

Offensively, a definite weak spot, work in progress. Shooting isn’t good, Webster is probably best from outside. K Gilbert is the best offensively but all damage is from inside the line. But he’s the alpha on the team and will have the ball in his hands a lot.

it’s a team of several “decent” players, Gilbert being the best by quite a bit and he has control of the team. Heard some good things about Muoka overall. Hands, touch, defensively. No Cottrell.

It’ll be rebound by committee, all hands on deck.

Will have trouble with scoring when we get stuck in the half court. Might not look that way early given the competition but it’s considered a weakness. But the defensive freneticism is a strength but competition must be considered.

I heard probably looking at best case, 4th place MWC, worst case, 7th.

I actually like the shiny silver and pink helmets.

and just like that, turnover SDSU up 7-0

U of North Dakota plays Ariz St in vegas tonight in hockey. Thousands from North Dakota are in vegas for the game. Vegas connection is Ralph Engelstad who owned Imperial Plaza in vegas before his death built a $100 arena for U of North Dakota hockey. And as a big ____ you to ncaa he put a indian headress on every aisle and at other places around the arena so when ncaa made them retire the fighting sioux nickname, they could not totally make it go away.

Haner throws for 400+ to lead Fresno St back from 28-10 deficit

SD St scores 28

Nevada loses to SanJose by 7 where we got destroyed by San Jose

Hawaii loses by 7 to Wyoming. We would be underdogs by more than 7 to Wyoming.

Early in the year Nevada and Hawaii were gimmes, not so much now.

Will be a real test for rebels to see if they have gotten better or worse as season went on.

You guys try this stuff?

I've been thinking about the characteristics of teams that have a consistently high level of excellence in football. It comes from trying to get my mind around why we have generally sucked for 30+ years and other programs will have a down year here and there, but they normally compete in their league.

1. Administration - University President understands the importance of sports to the university as a whole. AD knows his role and is successful in raising money, selecting coaches and keeping the NCAA at bay.

2. Coach - a program absolutely needs a coach who can get the right assistants, recruit players, generate team harmony and develop schemes and game plans.

3. Boosters - Boosters are required to raise $$ and get recruits. They are especially needed now to put together NIL deals for recruiting.

4. Facilities - You can't win without players and good players have a choice where they go. You need facilities to get recruits.

5. Quarterback - an excellent quarterback can make up for what otherwise is a fair team. You can have all the other pieces and if your QB's suck so goes the team. IMO, a good coach and boosters will get you enough "lunch pail" players so an excellent QB can take a team over the top.

So where do we sit? I think the current president is good but not dynamic. AD is O.K. but not proven. Excellent facilities. The rest is lacking.

If I were Kruger..I’d recruit him for the circus of it..and then offer the scholarship to a better kid. Pull the rug out from under him.

yeah I’m spiteful like that?

Or an Old Recruit - he should have some eligibility left - He is training like a DEMON to make a difference - might be having to petition the NCAA .... https://www.instagram.com/reel/CkN_6g5gjp3/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Who’s in? The post to watch as many football games as you can.

I got Dofu sports app.. we can watch the same games..

3. No-vada (2-6)​

The Oof Pack continues to fall through these rankings like my credit rating whenever I visit the state of Nevada. They've now lost six straight, including back-to-back losses to then-top/bottom two Bottom 10 opponents. Reno casinos don't have windows so that patrons lose track of time, and it indeed seems like an eternity since Nevada opened the season with a win over New Mexico State. Speaking of the Other Aggies ...

San Jose and New Mexico cancelled the game.

Dude, that is AWFUL news. Those electric scooters are pretty bad ass. I see these 6-5 dudes riding them here in campus all the time. They are pretty damn fast.

Should have worn a helmet..

Any results? News?

This past week Arron Rodgers talked about "we must simplify the offense. As he's frustrated that his young WR's can't seem to run the offense. This started me thinking about how UNLV's offense is struggling. Our backups can't seem to make the right decision after the ball is snapped. I understand that playing Quarterback is extremely difficult. However if we could simplify things a little better maybe we could get better results. Basically what I'm saying is we ask our backup QB's to do to much.

Following a (somewhat expected) 3 game losing streak, we roll into the bye at 4-4. I think the bye comes at good time. Need to get healthily heading into a very winnable matchup on the road against San Diego St. We win this, 7-5 or even possibly 8-4 is within reach (even though Hawaii and UNR aren’t automatic). Lose this and all of the confidence that was built up over the first 5 games of the season goes out the window. We’d be looking at 5 game losing streak, with little room for error to attain a 6-6 record.

Hoping Brumfield and Robbins are healthy and we get off to quick start to rebuild some of of swagger we had following New Mexico. Reese needs to get more touches. He and Robbins are developing into a true Thunder and Lightning type of combination. Just hope the Kyle Williams injury isn’t too serious.

Opening line: Notre Dame -26, Saturday morning, 1130 PST, Peacock TV.

Looks like the opening line is UNLV +24.5

The game appears to be on Peacock.

Do you guys think we can win two more this year? To become bowl eligible?

Once again the Rebels dressed out in their best San Diego St colors. Or maybe Las Vegas High colors. Black and Red. Our colors are SCARLET & GRAY. But we never wear that combo. Amazing. One of my pet peeves. Never seen a program so allergic to their school colors. Even our band wears red and black… Pitiful…
