When I mean darkest I mean the level of Fandom might be on life support.We dropped this game and things are gonna get the darkest they have ever been. IMO. These are another one of those point spread that is too good to be true.
I have heard that 1 before. Sports books usually know what they are doing. We are not a well balanced team. SJSU has a better coach so we are already behind the 8 ball there. Yes we have more talent, but soft, lazy, horrible adjustments, and use of timeouts u would think the opposing team was the one had access to them.Couldn’t care less but UNLv will win
Sports books are typically near the number. UNLV being a favorite at their place shows you just how poor SJSU is. Don’t know exact numbers but UNLV has to have a near 0.900 win percentage vs SJSU. But it’s probably closer to 60% over the past eight years. And I’m betting most of UNLV’s losses against SJSU have come within those eight years too.I have heard that 1 before.

With prep, gotta give Miles the advantage, with motivation, gotta give it to SJSU (SJSU is crap and UNLV knows it, even though UNLV is poor, it’s still a pump up game for SJSU).
But UNLV has better players and they should win, that’s why a road favorite. Neutral, UNLV would be around a 6 pt favorite.
It lines up a lot like the AFA game.
UNLV will not drop two longer shot losses in a row. They just won’t. If they do, it will be pretty clear that he has completely lost the team, that they really don’t give a shit and they’re playing out the string of the rest of the season.
I know we are not very cohesive and the talent isn’t the greatest we’ve had and they aren’t a mentally tough team, but I really don’t think they have quit. I think they’ll win easily tomorrow and it won’t make much of a difference to the fans or in the grand scheme of the season. It’ll be a ho hum win over a poor team and we will continue the zombie march of the season.
I thought we were already under a self imposed death penalty.When I mean darkest I mean the level of Fandom might be on life support.
It’s been a foundation of toothpicks and Elmer’s glue. No identity, no style, no substance.They swept us last year -
It would be pretty telling if we do get beat -
It would mean this team completely FELL APART (AND/OR) - it was never structurally assembled in the first place
Do not fire a coach mid season, not a good look. This hurt us bad when Rice was fired mid season years ago. Only way it could ever make sense is if you thought the interim could really be the longer term coach.I think we win, at some point pride kicks in. At least I hope, if they do mail it in then I think you part ways with CKK and hope an interim coach can salvage whatever is left of the season.
I agree completely. Even if UNLV drops every game until the end of the season.Do not fire a coach mid season, not a good look. This hurt us bad when Rice was fired mid season years ago. Only way it could ever make sense is if you thought the interim could really be the longer term coach.
This is torcherI think we can wait 7 weeks to let the guy go.
USU did it.It is obvious that UNLV is likely going to lose most of the recruit and current players if they let Kruger go mid season or end of the season. I guess the damage has already been done, so waiting until the end of the season to remove Kruger will save money and the optics look better, but will that leave UNLV time to fix the program?
My question is do they have enough time after the season ends to find a top level coach, and will that coach be able to recruit quick enough to put together a decent team?
You don’t have to traditionally recruit these kids. With the transfer portal you can form a whole team in a week.It is obvious that UNLV is likely going to lose most of the recruit and current players if they let Kruger go mid season or end of the season.

The suggestion is to wait to fire the current coach, but that shouldn’t mean that Harper has to wait until then to get on the horn and get some ducks lined up. I believe Joe alluded to (and could be wrong) but that Harper had the change figured into this year after the horrible showing in Florida.It is obvious that UNLV is likely going to lose most of the recruit and current players if they let Kruger go mid season or end of the season.

That is true, but I have this nagging thought in the back of my brain that this is exactly what Kruger did, and it hasn't worked! I just hope a replacement coach can quickly get a new team playing as a single unit instead of a bunch of individual hot shots!You don’t have to traditionally recruit these kids.

Yea it is similar to what Kevin has done, but I think the failures were more because him rather than the approach of getting transfers.That is true, but I have this nagging thought in the back of my brain that this is exactly what Kruger did, and it hasn't worked!

The rule is - a lot of other schools can do it, but UNLV can’t. Though we did do it with women’s basketball and football, so it’s just a UNLV Runnin’ Rebel thing. And it isn’t the fault of the Runnin’ Rebs, it’s the fans and social medias and the refs.Yea it is similar to what Kevin has done, but I think the failures were more because him rather than the approach of getting transfers.
USU returned literally no one from last season and look at them now
Not at all. This is when he should have things working in the background.The suggestion is to wait to fire the current coach, but that shouldn’t mean that Harper has to wait until then to get on the horn and get some ducks lined up.

Who says they aren’t looking for one now? Nowhere in Kevin Kruger’s contract does it say that Erick Harper has to fire him to look for a replacement.It is obvious that UNLV is likely going to lose most of the recruit and current players if they let Kruger go mid season or end of the season.

You must tread very carefully if you are looking for a new coach before firing the old coach. People have a tendency to talk, and something like that getting out would not look good for UNLV.Who says they aren’t looking for one now?
