Rebels Media Coverage

[BornRebelRed]

UNLV is at war with our local media groups. The Rebels for the last few months are NEVER mentioned on Las Vegas’s main early morning talk show. It’s on purpose. A lot of friction going on. And today, November 5, our basketball home opener, got a blimp of an article in the morning sports section on page 9. Unheard of those many glorious years ago. So, what is the problem? Who owns the radio station that would allow its own show to not talk about the home town team? Something has got to give. Been going on for a while. On a lighter note, Kruger’s Rebels have a chance tonight to change course, come out RUNNIN… Come out fired up… Come out with the purpose of being Exciting… Or, we get the same vanilla product on the floor again. Your choice Rebels. Quit being mediocre. Run Rebels Run… Reinvent Runnin Rebel Fever.. win Las Vegas back again.

UNLV fans are not even interested, so why should the media make a big deal about UNLV?

Kevin needs to give them something to talk about.
I guess they could say Rebels play Alabama St tonight. This is a Rebel team that has less talent than last years team. A team that lost to Southern and got blown out at Home to Air Force. More than likely a .500 team this year. How many people are going to care to read or listen to that discussion?
Want Rebel coverage in basketball then Kevin needs to put a product on the floor worth talking about.

It's the first game of a local team in a major college sport. I'd expect a discussion on the new players who are expect to make an impact. What the veterans will bring. Injury update. Talk about Alabama State ( where they are from in Alabama, bit about the coach, their star players, where they are picked in their conference etc ) Discussion on where we are picked in the preseason polls. Discussion on KK's prospects for the future.

To just ignore the team is unacceptable.

You and me and the very few other die hards would love that. Unfortunately there isnt enough interest in the program right now. These media guys have to get numbers and right now talking about Rebel basketball doesnt do that for them

It is sad, but Vegas is not Vegas of 25, 10, or even 5 years ago. Too many other things going on. If the Runnin' Rebels want to be talked about they need to give them something to talk about. That is something that hasn't happened in 10+ years. Everyone, media and fans, are in a wait and see mode with this team. They'll get support if they win. Same as it has ever been in Vegas.

You would think that Tyler Bischoff would have something bad to say on the morning show lol .

 

[Rebelious1]

Bischoff would rather talk about his wedding or other nonsense (local soccer, etc.). Then he wanted Brennan Marion fired based on Sluka's version of the NIL story. Then Bischoff goes AWOL. No confirmation the time off was based upon Bischoff's actions or not. The show is basically unlistenable.

The new media is the #BurnerBrigade right @Jason Kelly ...

The Sun doesn’t even think this is a tournament team. 20-11 and back to the NIT.
