  1. I can't speak for everyone but imo it's a few things: 1). Reno has played second fiddle to Vegas in everything for a long time, and I just don't mean sports. So anytime a smaller town can dominate a bigger town, it's always more important to the little guy. 2). We embraces the David vs Goliath role..even if it's not currently true...we always look at it that way. 3). The more we show the nation the power of balance as shifted north the better off our programs are in the long run. 4). Marketing marketing marketing, the University knows the hatred we have for the south. They exploit it to sell tickets...and it works. 5). Recruiting...the atmosphere on Wednesday night had the feel of a big time college basketball program. The Martin brothers (our North Carolina State transfers) made multiple social media comments about how incredible the crowd was. The more games we can create environments like that the better our recruiting can be. 6). Showing coach Muss we care and want nothing more than for him to stay LT. Muss has been quite open stating how blown way he has been with the local support. The first time around I don't think Reno realized how lucky we were to have coach Johnson and Fox. Then they left and the program went dark for a decade. This time around the community isn't taking anything for granted, and people hope by showing up and supporting we might make him think twice about leaving. 7). Lastly rivalries are fun, sports are about having fun. I might be totally wrong but that's how I see it.
  2. Nice dig, hardly our best game of the season. Defense let way to many of your YMCA players get layups.
  3. Yep I agree, we all grew up in Reno but my brother went to UNLV. He still cheers for the Pack but the rebels are his passion now.
  4. Good catch...obviously must have been preseason because he hasn't been reinstated.
