quickdraw Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 When I was building my house in 1996 I had ordered my granite countertops. when I was ready for them the company told me that my granite hadn't come in yet. Trying to figure out how to get my home finished so I could move in the company told me that they had more of the same granite but it was for another customer who didn't need it for another month. They called the customer and asked if he would release his granite to another Rebel fan and then he could take mine when it arrived. The guy said sure, no problem. It was Randall Cunningham. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone listened to him 25 years ago, UNLV would have 12 national championships in both revenue sports. They would be in the SEC for football and hoops in the Big East. He has his own twitter mob/followers and I wouldn’t be surprised if he had his own talk show like “Ace” from Casino. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rebels met Delaware in the Grantland Rice Bowl, a national semifinal, but lost 49–11 to finish at 12–1.[1] In the backfield with Carano was senior running back Mike Thomas, a fifth round selection in the 1975 NFL Draft and the offensive rookie of the year with the Washington Redskins. He finished with 49 completions out of 106 attempts, 839 passing yards, 11 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. As a junior in 1975, he registered 128 completions out of 226 attempts, 2,039 passing yards, 13 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
