The university sent out a student alert early yesterday after two bears were sighted near campus. Yeah, who’d have thought?
Anyway, in honor of the fury omnivores’ cameo, I present you with a little tribute to past animal/sports greatness.

Former Nevada point guard Ramon Sessions signed a two-year contract with the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday, which brings him one step closer to validating his decision to leave school early for the NBA.
Still, time will tell whether Sessions made a good choice.
His contract with the Bucks, like those of most second round picks, is not […]

It’s 11:33 a.m. I just woke up (after a few too many beverages and a cannonball into a hot tub yesterday) and I can already smell bratwurst and Bud Light.
That can mean only one of two things:
A: The roomie had a rough day at church.

This was supposed to go up Saturday afternoon, but I’m having computer issues:
Gotta love that prevent defense – the No. 1 dream-killer in all of football.

First off, the Wildcats played last season in the shadow of the death of […]

The Terri Patraw situation doesn’t appear to be going away any time soon.
Patraw said on Wednesday that she and her lawyer have “exchanged correspondence” with the university. She also said that she and her lawyer will arrange an informative press conference as quickly as possible to discuss the circumstances surrounding her leaving the program (she […]

Well, that was fun for about a quarter and a half.
Nevada played pretty much straight up with Nebraska for the first 20 minutes of Saturday’s game. Sophomore quarterback Nick Graziano made some nice throws, the defense held sturdy against the Cornhuskers, and cornerback Jonathon Amaya even gave the Wolf Pack a fleeting hope when he […]
