I actually have never felt all that "attached" to the HeyReb mascot.
If it had to go, we need to keep the Rebel name, but go a whole new direction. What are some ideas? It would be great to honor Tark with a shark.
If that's true then they'll find issue with another name. Or another mascot. Or this person in this position. Or that person in that position. Or their parking spot at a game. Or...The term Rebel is to highlight the rivalry between Northern and Southern Nevada not a tribute to the Confederacy. It's rediculous if you ask me. However, I have heard comments from individuals with some community standing that the Rebel mascot and name have prevented them from fully supporting the team.
Non-issue. Headline porn.
Will always love the UNLV Rebels, not sure about the UNLV Sharks
I agreeThis is all contrived outrage and an overreaction by weak willed people who will change their beliefs at the drop of a hat
Meet your 'new' UNLV Rebels. May the Force be with you.
Actually I like the Shark idea if it comes to it. Who cares if the concept of a rebel shark doesn't make sense?
You have no foundation to this and he is not tied to BYU in any way possible (not to mention this has nothing to do with them-haha). Your comment belongs with the comment made by the student to the news guy.Terrible idea to change the name or logo or mascot. Harry Reid is an idiot let him worry about BYU and the Zoobs. This is all contrived outrage and an overreaction by weak willed people who will change their beliefs at the drop of a hat
Where is the option "UNLV should rig Dingy Harry's work out equipment?" He's a troll Svrew him.
LOL
Dingy Harry? Seriously? Is that because you want to call him Dirty Harry but are afraid that makes him sound too tough?
Conservative talk radio listeners crack me up.
Independent of whatever Reid said, which I missed because I was out of town, I always liked the idea of James Dean tie-in, Rebel with a Cause. Then the mascot can zip around on an electric motorcycle dressed like James Dean. There is nothing inherently bad about the Rebel name since one story is that we got that monicker because we rebelled against our sister school in the north to become a free standing institution. I don't know if that story is true, but we could certainly use it to remove any connection between Rebel and the Confederacy.
Just some Saturday random thoughts.
Your enjoyment would have been better if I actually listened to conservative radio. But, a Liberal such as yourself wouldn't understand why so many Americans dislike that douche canoe.
I dislike both sides as much as the other. And quite honestly don't listen to Conservative radio nor liberal. They all suck. Harry Reid is a lame duck lap dog.
Stupid Republicans for not being able to come up with a better candidate to oust this slime ball.
Were there even people living in Nevada during the Civil War? (minus Indians ... lol )
Ah, not being from NV, had to look it up. I know Mormon's populated a lot of places, but guess late 1850s were less than 7k people. Jumped to 40k by 1870. So guess there were a few people.
And quite honestly don't listen to Conservative radio nor liberal.
