One of the keys for the Raiders this offseason will be mastering new offensive coordinator Luke Getsy’s scheme. So far, so good, according to tight end Michael Mayer.

The Raiders are moving their training camp from Henderson to California this summer. It’s not the only time they’ve switched locations in their history.
The 55th annual World Series of Poker begins Tuesday at Horseshoe Las Vegas and Paris Las Vegas, with 99 live bracelet events and 30 online events scheduled.
The College of Southern Nevada’s baseball team was in control in the late innings Monday. But the Coyotes allowed a late rally to fall in the NJCAA World Series.
The Aces waived one of their rookies Sunday, one day after defeating the Indiana Fever at home to start the season 3-1.
The star rookie for the Indiana Fever is off to an inconsistent start on the court in the WNBA, but her influence off it continues to be substantial.
You will hear more about the 3-pointers today, about Wink Adams busting his slump against Arizona’s basketball team, about the lead growing to as many as 22 points in the second half, about the Rebels earning what NCAA Tournament selection committee members would consider a quality win come March.
Rene Rougeau says there is a need for more passion. Lon Kruger says there is a need for better shooting, better execution, better talking defensively. Wink Adams says there is a need for him to hoist a jumper and not feel as though the basket is covered with a lid.
Lon Kruger was a no-star. All he turned out to be was one of the finest basketball players in Kansas State history. Lew Hill was a no-star. All he did was win a national junior college championship and become an All-Missouri Valley Conference player at Wichita State. Rene Rougeau was a no-star. All he can boast about is being the best all-around player on UNLV’s roster today.
The thing to realize is not 45 missed shots. It’s that few of them were even open. It’s that when you defend the basketball in November as well as Cal did Friday, an opponent must play far beyond its own potential to have a chance.
The national glare on college football is its usual powerful November self, what with more BCS updates than holiday sales and those in South Bend buying out the town’s supply of toilet paper to wrap around Charlie Weis’ house and trees and car and anything else connected with the besieged and yet handsomely compensated Notre Dame coach.
Memo to the person who keeps official stats for UNLV basketball games: Tre’Von Willis wants to have a little chat.
It will come Saturday evening at San Diego State, the most significant football game UNLV will have played in eight years. But regardless if the Rebels win or lose against the lowly Aztecs, whether they become bowl eligible or finish two games under .500, Mike Sanford’s future as head coach should be even more solidified come Sunday morning.
It’s not often the better coaching job in a UNLV basketball game takes place opposite the Rebels bench.
It is in their hands now for the first time in what seems an eternity. Eight years, really. But what a long, painful, frustrating eight it must have been for those who follow UNLV football. Think of the world’s incessant wait for Tom Cruise to take up scientology full time and try ruling the universe in anonymity. That long.
