To be fair, we got a singular vote two years ago to make it to the MWC championship. That person got laughed out of the room for such a bold vote, but he turned out to be right.

They think it’s because we’ll be the Top G5 and top conference winner

Simplistically, they’re saying we will be better than Boise next season. That’s it.

I believe their coach is a keeper. However, he'll need to recruit like crazy and I don't see him even coming close to replacing the core he had handed to him this past season. I think UNLV>BSU is a gimme.

I don't know enough about the other G5 conference leaders to say the BYE #4 is a lock.

Start the season around 25-35 and go undefeated and it's possible.

 

[WarthogRebel]

If this ended up true Mullen could go on to a $ 100M contract at some bloated P4 program.

I'll take it

For sure it’s possible. I think we will probably end up starting the year in the top 25 …. Near 25, but it’s a great start. UNLV was almost in that position in 2001, we weren’t ranked but somewhere in the receiving votes … based upon our crushing of Arkansas in the LV Bowl the year prior and the silly Jason Thomas for Heisman talk. And then we had a quarterback that couldn’t throw a ball and a punter who couldn’t field a perfect snap and the season went south quickly.

That game killed my spirit. We so had an SEC road victory and blew it.

You shouldn't stress to much about that... even if he does, there would be so much interest in the program we'd have our pick, includes Arnette whose already on staff...

Replace his OC as well.

 

[UNLVINMD]

I believe Oct 26 at BSU.
UCLA game at home, rest conference smells! I said it!

They lost OC Koetter, yes?

 

[Meister_Rebel]

yes

 

[rebswin2]

I’ll be shocked if a G5 gets a top 4 seed again or at least next season. I think they will make some changes in the off season to give the best 4 teams the top 4 seeds.

5 of our first 7 games are in the road this season. We better gel quickly

Just looked at it and yeah it seems to be that way. I can’t imagine that it could be accurate to have your first three conference games in the road. Something has to be wrong with that.

I thought final schedules came out in the spring? Don’t they just list conference home/away teams right now and sort it out in a couple months?

I sure hope so, I thought it strange as well. Let’s hope there’s some edits here in the coming months.

Andy McDonald…

All he had to do was catch the ball.
