The Raiders are reaping the benefits of having an experienced hand as their assistant head coach, one who has a lot of experience working with Antonio Pierce.
The Florida Panthers lost to the Golden Knights in last year’s Stanley Cup Final. They dusted themselves off and are back there again for a shot at redemption.
UNLV’s football team hasn’t had back-to-back winning seasons since 1983 and 1984. Oddsmakers expect that to change this year.
Las Vegas-based Allegiant Air announced several special flights to bring opponent team’s fans to Las Vegas for games against the Raiders in Allegiant Stadium.
It never will, and shouldn’t, reach the level of intensity that is UNLV-UNR each fall, but perhaps by borrowing a page from their basketball programs, UNLV and San Diego State football also can discover a happy medium of disgust that only a true rivalry can offer.
Now that it’s official and Bobby Hauck will return for a fifth season and beyond as football coach at UNLV, it seems a good time to evaluate significant parts of his tenure.
UNLV lost its third basketball game of a young season Tuesday night because in the most critical of moments, it became sloppy defensively. It exhibited poor technique. It was Cal in the NCAA Tournament all over again.
The Rebels are bowl eligible for the first time since 2000, and Bobby Hauck is soon to be granted a contract extension, once the I’s are dotted and T’s crossed and president Neal Smatresk finds a few minutes to sign off on the deal while dusting off his boots for a similar position at North Texas.
On Thursday night, the Rebels relied on a senior running back who has given every ounce of himself to the program as one who would lead them into such foreign territory as a possible postseason game.

In the second game of a third season under its current coaching staff, with what has been lauded as the best basketball team Dave Rice has featured at UNLV, this is today’s reality: The Rebels on Tuesday night were dominated by UC Santa Barbara out of the Big West Conference.
If a mirror is in the football coaching offices at UNLV, and I have to believe there is given the egos of men who choose such a profession, those paid to instruct the Rebels should spend this day looking into it.
Point guard. Shooting guard. Combo this and that. Whatever. Kendall Smith can play.
College basketball is going cold turkey. It has chosen to abruptly cease a bad habit over gradual reduction, accepting the nausea and hives and dizziness and headaches and muscle pains all at once. Three words: It’s about time.
Las Vegas is a special kind of resort city. In the city, you get The Strip (along with the Sphere); on the outside, you get the vast Mojave Desert with its nostalgic attractions. In the past, people visiting Las Vegas would do so with the phrase in mind: “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.” […]

After a slow start, the two-time defending WNBA champion Aces couldn’t seal the deal against the Atlanta Dream on Friday and suffered their second loss of the season.
The Aces signed a former All-Star on Friday as the back-to-back WNBA champions continue their three-game road trip short-handed.
Shooting guard Jackie Young is holding her own at the point in the absence of Chelsea Gray, giving the Aces more flexibility for a new roster addition.
