UNLV GAME DAY
UNLV Football
UNLV’s players spent all week talking about how badly they want to end five years of losing to their upstate rival, and for the Rebels’ seniors, this is their last chance to find out how it feels to beat UNR.
OK, Reno, I’ve gotta admit I dig the cool zephyrs during summertime, falling asleep to the mournful whistles and clickety-clack, clickety-clack of the Union Pacific and the fact I can break out a bowling shirt and an old pair of Wranglers with holes in the knees and back pockets and blend right in on Virginia Street.
As far as assignments go, I’ve had tougher. Like when I was given two choices on a coin flip.
Bill Ireland won his first against Saint Mary’s, but I think that was before the Gaels started recruiting all those 6-foot-10-inch power forwards from New Zealand.
The bad news for UNLV is it won’t be able to face New Mexico again until next season.
