So the Aultenator didn’t exactly back me up for defending him yesterday against New Mexico. The loss was a mess and provided plenty of ammo for anybody thinking the Wolf Pack didn’t deserve a bowl game.
The team didn’t look like it was ready to play, especially the offense. Freshman quarterback Colin Kaepernick missed some touchdowns, […]

Blame Nevada coach Chris Ault for Friday’s 28-26 loss against No. 16 Hawaii.
The Wolf Pack went down on a 45-yard field goal from Hawaii kicker Dan Kelly with less than 10 seconds left in the game, but there was no reason the kick left so little time on the clock – or for the kick […]

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 […]

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 […]

Nevada coach Chris Ault’s prophecy was almost fulfilled.
Since returning for his third stint as head coach for the Wolf Pack, Ault made good on promises by restoring the Mackay Stadium advantage and beating UNLV three straight times.
Taking down Boise State was the last item on the checklist, and the Wolf Pack almost earned the improbable […]

How does a team rack up 702 yards of total offense and outgain your opponent by almost 300 yards and still get beat?
The answer might seem complex – impossible even – but it’s actually pretty simple if you consider Nevada’s 49-41 loss to Fresno State on Saturday.

Fanatical friend 1: “I have an idea. I was drinking a beer last night and I says to myself ‘Wanna know what would be fun? WAC fantasy football.’”
Me: “You’ve got to be kidding. You realize the mere acknoweldment of this will be enough to scare women off of as long as we live in Reno?”
FF1: […]
