Line ‘em up: Predictions and Game Thread UNLV at Fresno State

[Rebel_Luv]

It is funny, but they still listed us higher than Fresno State, Toledo, and Wyoming.

Less than 1% seems low. If we win out (including the MW championship) then we would automatically bump the other MW teams on the list and we would be in great shape. I don't know if winning out is < 1%. Its not good, but I would say better than 1%!

IF that were to happen, then I think our resume looks better than an undefeated JMU or Liberty. Even Tulane. Losing to Michigan (who may have cheated) is better than Ole Miss.

Win tomorrow and the numbers would change drastically, simply since we will look more legit. Lose, and we are out. No worries. We could still have a chance at a MW championship if we lose, so there is that.

If we win outright CO is good as gone. CM too, unless we give him the HC position. Then we. Might have a chance to keep him. My hopes is that $ comes pouring in to keep both of them regardless if we even only get 1 more win I think he's doing excellent job. Would love to see in two more years to see what he can do when he gets even more of his players in. By then, hopefully a winning culture and and even better players, more fans, And with the excellent facilities we should be in good $ shape to keep him or find a suitable replacement. HOPEFULLY better recruiting is the next step.

Odom isn't going anywhere after 1 year regardless of success... the job opening won't be there... but after 2 or 3 years, look at jobs like Arkansas, South Carolina to open and be looking for someone like him..

IMO, he will need to be careful about what job he takes. A low lying P4 job would be a risk for him. There are not very may coaches who fail at P4 ( and are not successful at a prior P4 job ) and get a second chance. There are almost none who fail twice without previous P4 success and get another chance. He'll have to win at his next P4 job if he wants longevity at that level. He may not care and just wants the $$. But he strikes me as someone who wants to win and put his stamp on the game.

We always assume, but never know - regardless of what they might say publicly - what the true motivation for a person. They may flat out lie to throw people. We’ve seen that before, I saw Pitino admitting that just a day or two ago.

So we tend to place our personal experiences and viewpoints on something.

That said, money isn’t always the primary motivator. The adoration of millions isn’t always a motivator. Winning a national championship isn’t always a top motivator.

Some may prefer a lower profile. Some may prefer less national pressure.

I don’t know what drives Odom.

Tark was cool being here - small town, good enough pay, could dominate his immediate peers and have a (legitimate) opportunity at the biggest prize every single year. If UNC wanted Tark, would he have left? I’m not so sure. We know he was good enough for any program in the nation (no blue blood would touch him, so we don’t really know).

This time every season we are clamoring for MBB practice updates. Not so much this season.

It’s fun to have a meaningful game in late October. Coach Odom deserves a lot of credit. Go Rebels.

Hey a little game day love for the Rebels...

 

[unlove]

Hoping for a significant step forward in recruiting!!

 

[RebNReno]

The winning streak continues! I got UNLV pulling out another close one tonight.
UNLV 34
Fresno 31

 

[unlvlurker]

UNLV 27 - Fresno 28

 

[TheMatrix31]

No Doug Brumfield at Fresno? He’s not in warmups right now

What QB is warming up for FSU?

 

[rebeltob]

UNLV has an off night/comes out flat and never gets any traction. 37-10 Fresno.

UNLV loses momentum on the season, wheels come off, and they only win 1 more game.

Everyone is reminded we are UNLV.

Keene...

[XFactorRebel]

Trying my best but I am having some horrendous internet issues and OBS is dropping 98% of the frames. Not sure if this is going to work out this time.

 

[WarthogRebel]

That sucked.

 

[XFactorRebel]

Yeah not a good look so far.

 

[Masked_rebel]

Defense so leaky...

 

[lobbybuu]

Shredded the hell out of our defense. Not surprised at all tbh.

 

[WhiteMamba]

Might be a long night on D. They moved down the field like nobody was there

 

[XFactorRebel]

Okay I see you Ricky

 

[Bullmastiff 1]

Nice answer boys...

 

[WhiteMamba]

Great answer to the quick score they gave up

 

[j. spilotro]

Not super worried about the offense. Even with the first punt, moved the ball some.

Want to see the defense step it up. If the defense can just be decent, we might be ok.

If they are forced to blitz to get pressure it could be a problem.

Go low. Crack him in his ankle.

I think the defense just answered.

Hey, why so violent? LOL

 

[j. spilotro]

Hey, why so violent? LOL

I know they make the rules so it’s closer to flag football, but it’s a violent sport.

 

[mwsn7022012]

Doug Brumfield has quit on the team. He didn’t make the trip.

 

[1Tripoda]

That pass was a little too soft by Maiava.

 

[220reb]

Pick!!!!

 

[1Tripoda]

God, what an interception

 

[saulpaul21]

Is this for sure true?

 

[j. spilotro]

Screwed twice in the same play ….

 

[WhiteMamba]

Screwed twice in the same play ….

Was a face mask but also clearly a forward pitch

 

[1Tripoda]

Screwed twice in the same play ….

twice..horse collar and forward pass. 3rd and 11 coming after a TO

 

[220reb]

10-7 Rebels

 

[1Tripoda]

Marion is one helluva of a coach! He is not satisfied with that incompletion.

 

[lvrebalum2012]

So, these announcers are calling this game remotely, right? Not a huge fan.
