Maybe this is it. Or almost it. Maybe in the world of UNLV basketball, there is some truth to that quote about timing.
That with patience, the unreachable becomes reachable, the unavailable becomes available, the unattainable becomes, yeah, you guessed it, attainable.
Social networks don’t define our lives anymore. They run them. That reality has placed the UNLV football career of junior wide receiver Phillip Payne in a tenuous position, the reported result of his Twitter account producing negative comments about a first-year coaching staff led by Bobby Hauck.
It’s all relative, especially when you are in the infant stages of rebuilding a college football program that has been as sound lately as that Disney stock in your deteriorating portfolio.
