I still think they would be a good second team along with NIU if NIU ends up in the MWC!

Toledo 48-46 Pittsburgh (Dec 26, 2024) Final Score - ESPN
Game summary of the Toledo Rockets vs. Pittsburgh Panthers NCAAF game, final score 48-46, from December 26, 2024 on ESPN.
San Jose went 5 OTs the other night. It could’ve went all night but the refs were just so awful they wrecked the momentum of the game going back and forth.
Have any of you been tracking attendance numbers at Bowl games? B1G Rutgers vs Big-12 Kansas State, in Phoenix in late December. Attendance 21,659. How did ULNV/Cal do? 24,420. Memphis WV? 12,022. I believe that, playoff games aside, the only teams ahead of UNLV in attendance are Tulane/Florida at 41,472, in Tampa.
So, grumbling aside at the fact that neither Cal or UNLV are very far away from LA, it is a pretty good look for UNLV. TV ratings weren't too bad either (link below).
We'll see how my Cougs draw tonight against Syracuse. I assume USC/Texas A&M will do well tonight in Vegas.

Last year unlv vs Kansas in the guaranteed rate bowl attendance was 26k, besting this years attendance by 5k.
Middle of the week. Days after coach left..Kinda took wind out of sails.
What's the word on the WSU coaching search? You guys should consider Bobby Hauck the HC at Montana. Guy is killing it there. Should be your number 1 target.
Hmm. Wonder if we can afford him. He is making $265,000/year at Montana. And What happened with him at UNLV? Fun fact that I discovered, former WSU AD Jim Livengood hired him at UNLV? I'm telling you guys, you can't even turn around without running into a Coug or someone Coug-connected. We are everywhere. Drinking all your beer, stealing your drunk women, keeping law enforcement busy.
He struggled here because he tried to build his program like he did in Montana where he had the local support with 0 effort. He refused to recruit locally, and expected locals to want to walk on. He didn’t really connect with the boosters either, he thought it would all be automatic. He would spend the recruiting season fishing in Montana.
But, that was a decade ago. I m sure he’s learned a lot since then.
Hard to tell since everyone lies about attendance #s. For example, there were 'maybe' 1,000 people in the Potato Bowl stands. Maybe about 8k-10k in stands at the LA Bowl and that's being generous. Most of these should be nuked out of existence and replace with a home/away playoff post-season format.
Ignore these fools..You guys should 100% hire Bobby Hauck. Slam dunk hire. Ignore those pesky 5 years at UNLV that guy can coach!
