  1. I'm sure the Russians could just use satellites and the like, right?
  2. I thought all Trump supporters were too busy at their jobs for this kind of stuff. Seriously, though, this is hilarious.
  3. Yeah, like nobody else has "craft beer" and a bike trail...
  4. Did you guys hire Dave Rice?
  5. UNLV deserves to be in that group this year but let's not get too ahead of ourselves. Wyo split with AF and came within a point of losing to UNLV twice this year.
  6. Nevada is a pretty good team, despite their resume. All of the starting five are really competent and the few guys they do bring off the bench are solid as well. Marcus Marshall can shoot with literally anyone in the country. Jordan Caroline is all motor and plays bigger than his size. While Lindsay Drew isn't a massive offensive threat, he's a very competent point guard. DJ Fenner is a senior and is the real program guy in the bunch. When he's determined he can be a real pain to deal with. Nevada's weakness might be their lack of real bigs but they make up for it well in how versatile the rest of the roster is. I wouldn't put as much weight in some of their non-conference losses, as they were integrating transfers into the rotation that became dominant players on the team. It took them 2/3 of the season to really all find their roles and settle in. Honestly, I think Nevada has the look of a 6 or 7 seed. You guys could have a real dog fight on your hands and I don't think the committee did you any favors in matching you up with the Pack right now. Coach is very legit, too. For what it's worth, I am not a Nevada fan, in fact they are my teams's rival, so I don't think I'm being too biased in my little speech here. Thanks for coming over here as well.
  7. I will be interesting to see how the athletics departments and fans of those schools that get "demoted" will react. It's got to sting quite a bit if it happens.
  8. He can do the graduate transfer thing and play next year.
  9. Nice work. 666 pages. Coincidence?
  10. They may have removed it. I know it got locked.
  11. I got banned for actually quite matter-of-factly setting them straight on a few misconceptions. They insisted that Vaughn was stupid for not wanting to play in the Hilton Coliseum in front of large crowds. So I politely informed them that UNLV plays in building that holds 18,500 and we actually average more than their building holds (we did at the time, of course). Then they said out program had no history. So I gave them the resume. They were completely unaware of these things even though they played us a few years ago, in the T&M. They of course lost that game. It was really a good eye-opening experience though to see how Las Vegas is still perceived by the "heartland". They all were high-fiveing each other because someone called me a "desert-dweller". So I told them the desert can be quite beautiful and that we have over 2 million people. They considered that trolling so they banned me.
  12. Unbelievable. Shows how little they think of their market's intelligence and awareness.
  13. For a while, yes. We need programs that are consistently capable of knocking off schools with bigger names to consistently get more in. We are in short supply of that right now, for sure.
  14. Please, Iowa State fans, create accounts and chat with us. We would talk with you at Cyclone Fanatic but that doesn't work out so well as you guys ban anyone that doesn't outright suck up to you you and join the circlejerk. We don't do that here 'cause freedom.
  15. "UNLV Fan"The scum sucking corn chewing tobacco spitting cow tipping most deluded fans on the planet must feel the pain loss."L O L Glorious!"
  16. Exactly. If there were any "superconference" realignment it's likely they wouldn't be in.
  17. Listen, just so you and anyone else are fully aware, that flag has been posted in a spirit of brotherhood to unite the state. It is not recognized as a Wolfpack or UNR emblem. Las Vegas is Nevada as well. Now, go Pack!
  18. It had to be Iowa State... I normally despise the Pack like any red-blooded Las Vegan should. I didn't want you to beat CSU and I hoped you would get bounced first round. However for this week, in light of this round of 64 match-up, I have found a new sense of brotherhood with our rivals from the north. The scum sucking corn chewing tobacco spitting cow tipping most deluded fans on the planet must feel the pain loss. Go Pack! #HomeMeansNevada #PurpleState #BattleBorn
