Should be an interesting season, what with all the new faces on the field and on the sidelines. Just FYI, even though USC transfer Malachi Nelson is getting all the hype in Boise, Maddux Madsen was named QB1 this week. I'm sure Nelson will be given every chance to change that, tho.

What do you want UNLV to focus on? Basketball have tried and tried again. That efforts have fail bombastically and miserably. Time for football to reign. I am all for it. What do you think?

Web is going through a pre-draft workout with the Timberwolves today

Just made it

I enjoy listening to Marion talk. Sort of different reason than Odom, but not entirely different. Listening to him talk and tell his story, you can so easily understand why he is such a good recruiter. Other than his mind for the offensive game, he's got a story that really deserves light. Gotta imagine a great mentor some young guys on the roster.

(I say that knowing there will be comments about his resume, not staying put anywhere for long term)

Worth a listen

Interesting data - albeit this is only one year's worth. Didn't I read where Liberty would have been the G5 CFP representative had the 12-team setup been in place in 2023? With an average TV viewership of 21,000? 4th worst in the country and well below any of the MW.

Aside from surprising CSU (thanks to their rivalry game with Colorado), the MW's numbers are pedestrian, but not THAT horrible. Well OK Nevada and Utah State were horrible. But 5 MW teams, including UNLV, drew more than ACC-bound SMU. And CSU drew (way) more than 4 of the Pac-12 traitors and by my count 16 other P4 teams. OSU was a surprising 1.74M and WSU was 1.08M.

Looking at 2014 schedules: uw, Stanford, Oregon, Cal (and WSU and OSU) all play Big Sky teams. You guys play Utah Tech from the all over hell FCS conference. The Pac-12 traitors out West also play multiple MW teams as usual. Oregon-BSU, Cal-SDSU, UCLA-Hawaii and Fresno, Stanford-SJSU, FUSC-Utah State.

So who the hell cares and what's the point? Well, in my seemingly fleeting desire for the reverse merger, and after we wash the bitterness out of our mouths, it would make sense for all involved if the traitors replaced their Big Sky games with more PacWest (we'll call it that for this discussion) games. More fan interest and SOS for the traitors, better paydays for the PacWest teams and better SOS. Everybody wins.

There's more but I'll stop here for now.

It will be interesting to see how this works out. Budget cuts could be deep for some schools.

UNLV. Butler, Miss st and Big ten Team Nov 29, Arizona tip off, I assume in Phoenix.
So Memphis at home at Creighton so far, Maui in 2025, so KK scheduling like he's going be here, and team will be good?

Good to see the former Rebel take over the WA Wizards officially. 👏

Curious about the board's opinion - in the new landscape of NIL $$ - do we still have a realistic shot at a guy like this?
