Plenty of people are mourning this week after Sunday morning’s tragedy, and rightfully so, but another headline caught my eyes yesterday.
Talented crooner/my hero Robert Goulet died at 73 yesterday while waiting for a lung transplan. He was diagnosed with interstitial pulmonary fibrosis last month.
Goulet will forever be a cult icon and star in my eyes, […]

Nevada forward Tyrone Hanson has been dismissed from the basketball team.
Hanson was apparently beaten and robbed at the party on Saturday where three people were shot and killed, but Nevada coach Mark Fox said the dismissal had nothing to do with the tragedy.
Hanson was held out of Saturday’s scrimmage for breaking an unspecified team rule, […]

The Nevada men’s basketball team opened up the last half-hour of practice to the public today for “Hoops & Treats,” Most of which was spent scrimmaging and dunking.
- Guard Brandon Fields found his shooting stroke in the offseason.
Fields hit three big 3-pointers during the scrimmages and shot it well from outside during drills. If he […]

The preseason ESPN/USA Today coaches’ poll came out this morning with North Carolina, who Nevada plays in December, at No. 1.
While not ranked, the Wolf Pack picked up eight votes, the most of any Western Athletic Conference team. It remains to be seen whether the Wolf Pack warrants a spot in the top 40 teams […]

Maybe the Wolf Pack’s 31-28 win against Utah State on Saturday was an inevitable letdown following the Wolf Pack’s epic four-overtime game at Boise State last Sunday.
Maybe the short week between games didn’t leave the Wolf Pack with enough time to properly heal and prepare for the Aggies.
Maybe it was impossible to match last Sunday’s […]

Wow, that was a painful first half. The Wolf Pack started out dominating both sides of the ball and grabbed a 14-0 lead. Then it looked like the Pack got complacent, the offense struggled, and the defense and special teams reverted to the form it showed over the first six weeks to go into […]

Call me crazy, but I think the Wolf Pack grabs its first WAC win today in Logan, Utah. Eventually somebody will put the Wolf Pack in a tough spot by taking the run option away from quarterback Colin Kaepernick, but that won’t happen today.
Talk about letdowns all you want, but Utah State just isn’t very […]

The Western Athletic Conference had a great weekend from a national publicity standpoint. Boise State’s 69-67 win against Nevada is the highest scoring game in NCAA history and will go down as one of the most exciting games this season. A national ESPN audience watched the Wolf Pack and Broncos rack up more than 1,100 […]

Nick Fazekas took the floor in Las Cruces, New Mexico, on Tuesday to take on a Reggie Theus-coached team in a hostile environment.
What, you thought those days were over?
Not with the beautiful fate of preseason NBA basketball. Fazekas returned to the House that Reggie Built as a rookie power forward for the Dallas Mavericks, and […]

I think ESPN analyst Bill Curry has a man-crush on Nevada quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
Even as both teams racked up enough points to reign down the unpromised fury of Y2K on the Bronco Stadium scoreboard, Curry spent most of the night praising the Wolf Pack’s freshman quarterback basically everything - scoring touchdowns, throwing the ball out […]
