I’m not friends with whoever decided to move the Battle for the Fremont Cannon from 7 p.m. to 1 p.m.
While trying to cut down on the drinking hours was probably a good idea, all that meant for me was waking up before dawn to sit in a parking lot drinking beer and wanting a sweater.
On [...]

You’re welcome, Rebel Yell.
Your coverage of the Battle for the Fremont Cannon the last three years has either ripped off one of my columns or stolen our reporting, so I’m glad The Nevada Sagebrush, the student newspaper at The University of Nevada – the state’s official land-grant institution – has been able to provide you [...]

I am a hypocrite.
I am an outspoken opponent of the “F-bomb the Rebels” chant – because it lacks the creativity and originality worthy of Nevada’s finest institution (that means “place of learning” for the monosyllabic Rebels fans out there) – but I have nothing better to offer as a replacement.
So I’m in search of a [...]

Students will be allowed those cuddly “FUNLV” t-shirts on Saturday, although the administration did discuss removing them.
Couple that with the new beer policies and the afternoon game time, to cut down on pregame drinking (they underestimate us so),  and it’s pretty clear the administration is trying to avoid past violence like this.
This is a good [...]

Apparently yesterday was the worst day of the year to be sick and in bed.
I knew UNLV tickets were going on sale, but figured I could grab one in the afternoon. The people waiting in line before dawn and mob extending out of the JTSU thought otherwise.
Mackay Stadium figures to be rocking on Saturday with [...]

 UNLV week is finally here.
It’s been sweet reveling in the Wolf Pack’s 31-3 win in Vegas last season, but now it’s time to put that to rest and focus on this year’s matchup.
The Wolf Pack is again the better football team, although the teams are more comparable than most Northern Nevadans would care to admit.
Both [...]

 Louisville was a sleeper to win the national championship entering the season, and there was an awful lot to like about the Cardinals - namely quarterback Brian Brohm and a speedy group of receivers.
After losing two straight games - Syracuse? - the Cardinals have generously proved an important point - it doesn’t matter how many [...]

Nick Graziano has a serious hose.
The biggest deficiency in coach Chris Ault’s pistol offense the last few years was the lack of big plays in the passing game.
Well, after watching Graziano vertically assault Nicholls State in a near criminal manner on Saturday, it’s clear that Ault hasn’t put the “Air Wolf” days entirely to rest.
It [...]

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 [...]
