Dan Mullen on the Herd

The program is in a bubble. No sound comes out of that bubble.

I get the impression he was less than happy with the premise of Collin's interview. Seems like he really wanted to talk about his new job and all Collin wanted to do was ask about Ryan Day and Ohio St and treat it like Dan was still in a booth.

Colin, didn't even mention UNLV. Until, half way into the interview.
This is weird, considering Cowherd was a sports anchor for Channel 3 news, in Las Vegas.
Found, this clip of him in Las Vegas. Year was 1993.
He speaks, around the 17 minute mark.

 
Yes, he did. He, just lived in Vegas for about 3 years.
He, always thought Tark cheated.
He, was one of the few local sports castors who thought Tark was a liar.
Ron Futrel, Chris Mathews always liked Tark and are still doing local sports news.

I lived in Oregon for a year 2002-2003 when he was there and had a local radio show. One day he was just going off on Tark and UNLV how much they cheated, Richard Perry stuff, etc, etc. So I wrote him an email basically saying I agree that Tark wasnt clean by NCAA standards but he was far from a lone wolf in that regard. He replied back with a full page rant basically saying what he had said on the air then tells me when he lived in LV he dated a girl that knew Ice and she told him (Cowherd) about all of the shady shit that went on at UNLV.

My other encounter with him was at the Rebel Pub in the early 90's when I was in school when Cowherd the same time he on the air in LV. I was there with InnZoneReb and we were like hey lets see if this guy knows anything about sports. He is UW fan from Washington so we start talking to him and he was talking about UW and I decide to check his knowledge so I ask him what High school Napoleon Kaufman who was at UW at the time, went to. He quickly said Lompoc. Apparently we decided that was enough he passed and we decided he did know sports...

I’m not sure Colin even knows he was signed by UNLV.
 
Colin did speak highly of the boosters, kept talking about money UNLV is pouring into the program etc.

I don’t recall him being a big unlv guy. He was more into the Las Vegas Posse, Las Vegas Thunder or the Sting in the AFL. He was more of a money/professional guy than college sports.

Can't believe, Las Vegas kept him on for 3 years. Knowing, how much he hated Tark and disliked UNLV Runnin' Rebels.
NBC news 3, were idiots in not firing him for that.
