UNLV has had one winning season since 2000. They did move into Allegiant Stadium. which could be beneficial. I could see them being good and popular if they committed to winning like Tark's boys. Could be a big draw. Prob not as much now w/ pro sports in town tho.

I don't see how it could be beneficial. G5 schools playing in huge, empty pro stadiums has never been a good look. And outside of '98 with Shaun King at Tulane and Marshall Faulk at San Diego State, I can't think of many other examples. Tulane upgraded their status significantly when they left the Superdome for a dinky new on-campus stade. Hope it works out for UNLV though, they deserve nice things just like everybody.

Definitely. I was more looking back at UNLV's basketball success in the 1980s and early 90s. They fully embraced the entertainment aspect of Vegas and wrapped it around their basketball program and Vegas image. Vegas loves a show, and back then they were the only sports show in town other than boxing.

That's not the case anymore, so would probably be very difficult. Vegas has really embraced the Knights. Not sure on the Raiders. College football might be a difficult sell.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

The atmosphere isn't great but the facilities for the players are miles better.

something tells me that Las Vegas would not be at the top of the list of cities for Colin Klein to relocate to.

If we lose tomorrow we’ll be 0-4 against teams that are currently ranked, that may be good enough for you guys but it isn’t good enough for me

If we lose tomorrow we’ll be 3-1 in games with Will Howard as our starter.

Will need to see the score to know whether we stay above the 47-point floor Howard+Klein has us on currently.

Think of how much better the season would've gone if we had Wheels Howlitzer as the starter from day 1.

Same. Favorite teachers from middle school through college.

The game plan for 9AM is completely different than for Howard. Why don’t you critique a game where Klein knew Howard would be the starter all week?

This. They probably have a couple hundred designed plays, but practice 30-40 plays during the week based on the starting rosters that week.

Adjustments after the loss of Knowles seemed incredible to me.
