Big comeback win for Wyo.

Does this win take any head of the Head Coach.

No.  If Eget doesn't get hurt, that game isn't close.  Unfortunately he will be back next year regardless, but the fan base is fed up with him.  

Kick off at 2 PM on Saturday and you can find it on the MWDN.   

There is a new rivalry trophy for this game which I think is fantastic

This game is always fun to watch.  Good luck Lobos!

My guess is that previous "managers or owners" with admin access already copied all the info. They likely already threw their hat in the ring to acquire the domain name.

Once @Jeffkills lets domain expire, they'll have his money and the site back.

That's why I don't understand why Jeff won't do something like sell or transfer to someone else. He's playing into their hands.

How do you know he'll let the domain expire?

I’m full time over at Rebel Raid. Small community with zero riff raff. 
 

Opposing fans that are not trolling are obviously welcome. As for this place, I’ve contacted Jeff to no avail, I believe given his absence that he’s done with this site and will let it run its course. Several people are going to bid on the domain and we’ll just see who wins that one. Either way we’ll see a different forum in the next few months whoever it is running it. 

I could see Jeff keeping the site

I’m vacillating still on if subscribing to it is a good idea or not. Waiting to see if there’s any kind of deal between the nMWC and ESPN. If so, then I’m all in I think, and if not, and knowing that I can still watch my team (UNM), and other nMWC teams via the MWNetwork, I may not need to just yet?

What do you guys think? Also didn’t know that there are two subscription levels (If I do take the plunge, it looks like a better deal to buy it for the year, versus monthly)…

“ESPN Unlimited Plan

• Access to all of ESPN's linear networks -- ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPNEWS, ESPN Deportes, SEC Network, ACC Network -- in addition to ESPN on ABC, ESPN+, ESPN3, SECN+ and ACCNX

• 47,000 live events a year, on demand replays, studio shows, original programming and more

ESPN Select Plan

• Access to all content available on ESPN+

• More than 32,000 live sports events annually, a robust library of exclusive studio shows, on-demand replays, acclaimed original content and more

How much does each plan cost?

ESPN Unlimited Plan: $29.99 a month or $299.99 a year

ESPN Select Plan: $11.99 a month or $119.99 a year.”

How would you watch games on CBS Sports Network?

Or UConn for that matter?

I’m pretty confident in saying this - UConn and UMass have no desire to be in the MAC. They’d rather be indi than go that route. 

I'd take UConn's upcoming schedule over a MAC schedule any day of the week.

going Indy means you will never make the Access Bowl or Playoff...that's giving up to me.

But they can win basketball Nattys and there is another round of realignment left to play out that will most likely impact East Coast schools, so UConn might have options in the future for football as well.

you have to really want it, it takes a motivated athletic dept, univ president, and boosters...you can't half-ass it.

It also really, really helps to be close to a fertile recruiting ground, which they are not.  Instead they are in an area of the country that has historically not been the biggest supporters of college football.

On 4/2/2023 at 12:05 PM, UofMTigers said:

which is also why it's not just any ole bowl.

  

The conf also had Cincy, Houston, and UCF...I totally get their decision, it's just not the decision for everyone including Memphis.

We are talking about UConn though.  No one else gives a shit about if it makes sense for Memphis or any other school. 

I would be a colossally dumb move for a University like Memphis

all they had to do is put a good team out there and they could have gone back to Fiesta Bowl out of the AAC but they're a hoops school and that's all they want to be...and that's OK, for them.

If it's so easy to snap your fingers and get to the Access Bowl, why don't more schools do it?

On 4/2/2023 at 11:50 AM, renoskier said:

what else is there?

They could have sacrificed their basketball program, which is what they are known for, to be average at best in football in a conference full of directional schools they probably don't want to be affiliated with where they are a geographic outlier.  

Decisions, decisions, decisions.  

On 4/2/2023 at 12:38 AM, UofMTigers said:

going 6-7 as an Indy isn't exactly shooting for the stars...they will never return to the Fiesta bowl as it is.

They never should have went to the Fiesta Bowl in the first place.  That team was trash. UConn would never be in a conference again that had a qualifier like the old Big East with football. 

Seems like UConn made a pretty good choice for themselves to head back to the Big East.

Best Buy finna be outta business

I didn't think anyone bought anything there, they just gave out ass whoopings.

Yeah, this. 

 

I might be in the minority but I really loved the original plan (unlvNow) to build an on campus stadium with a bunch of shops, restaurants, dorms. It was going to be a real game changer for UNLV. **** MGM for torpedoing it because they had T-Mobile arena being built along with competition for MGM grand arena down the street. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now that would have been a game changer for UNLV.

I don’t see that happening. Most former HC’s went on to something else. Even Jeff Horton, probably the worst HC at UNLV in terms of W-L  went to coach at P5 schools and the NFL. Right now he’s associate HC at SDSU. 

I think he stays in college.  He can recruit, has ties to Vegas area kids which is getting better by the year.  I could see a coach taking a chance on him as ST coordinator or recruiting coordinator.  Maybe even RB coach or something.  Worst case he drops down to FCS.  

Part of Sanchez's biggest problems were the OC and DCs he hired.  I get he wanted to lean on guys he knew and trusted, but they just weren't good coordinators and it really cost Sanchez.

This stadium is the biggest scam in the history of Nevada. We are already seeing terrible consequences from it.

I haven't heard anything yet about terrible consequences.  What type of things?  I hate the scamming of pro teams on new stadiums.

If they're smart, they'll hire Hoke.

I hope they're stupid

I'm surprised someone hasn't hired him.  Has he not been looking for jobs and just collecting Michigan checks?  I know he is at SDSU now, but that was just this year right?  If a G5 team hires him, they will get a great coach.

I forgot all about Reb Baron. After north of 15K posts he just completely disappeared three years ago. Serious question. Does anyone know if he died?

 

Right?  Seeing some of these names pop up again makes me wonder what happened to some of them.

Sorry.  I don't have a link.  

But, Hair did say that.   It is pretty common knowledge (but that was about 7 years ago, already).

I would say it is pretty common knowledge that Hair said that he would leave the light on for BYU.

Hair did, unilaterally, call for a complete and total ban of MWC schools scheduling BYU.  He told everyone it would bring BYU to its knees, and that they would never schedule 12 games in a season.

Boise, USU, and UNLV broke the strike line, and refused to follow Hair's edict.  Now, even Wyoming and SDSU have come around.

Hair's icy heart has softened a bit now.  He no longer calls for MWC schools to not schedule BYU.

 

Link?  If I remember correctly he has always been cordial with BYU.

Thanks for the heads up! 

Edit--Wait, is this just for the game matchups and locations?

Well its just not the up tempo stuff we saw at eugene.  Maybe its because he has a 19 year old qb, or maybe its the rule changes.  And obviously a lot of it is that they arent getting first downs.  But there is no goofy big cards, no play every 8 seconds, no nothing that makes you think of the dixon/marriota era ducks.

I don't understand why he wouldn't do what worked well previously.

I wonder if he is slowly bringing it in?  I don't think any of the current offensive staff has been with Kelly before have they?  The combo of a young team and pretty new offensive staff might have slowed down the implementation perhaps?  Maybe he has tweaked it for rules and other things he has learned.  I'm guessing he has UCLA running pretty well by year 3.  

Colorado possibly.  That is not a good team even though they are 3-0
