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.

Rebel Robert.  He transcends sports 

Spot on.  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.

I knew he had a business at one time but this was through another business I had worked with on other projects

through my business. He may have been an owner there. It was so long ago...

The name sounds very familiar. 

Glen Carano was a QB when UNLV was at the end of the D-II era............was a back up for the Dallas Cowboys for a few seasons.............main claim to fame is he is from the Reno area Carano's who own the Silver Legacy & a few casinos' up north 

Glenn Thomas Carano (born November 18, 1955) is a former American football quarterback in the National Football League (NFL) for the Dallas Cowboys for seven seasons. He also was a member of the Pittsburgh Maulers in the United States Football League (USFL). Carano played college football at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). He is currently the General manager of Eldorado Resorts properties of Circus Circus, Eldorado, and Silver Legacy Resort & Casino.

Carano accepted a football scholarship from University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where he became a four-year starter at quarterback for the Rebels. As a true freshman in 1973 under first-year head coach Ron Meyer, he was named the starter.

As a sophomore in 1974, Carano helped UNLV achieve a number two ranking in Division II, after they completed their one and only undefeated regular season. 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.

As a senior in 1976 under new head coach Tony Knap, Carano completed 148 of 277 passes for 2,024 yards, 13 touchdowns and 13 interceptions,[2] while leading the Rebels to the Division II Midwest Regional (national quarterfinal) and a number seven national ranking. His twin brother Gene was his top receiver in his last season.

In his college career, Carano completed 337 of 636 passes for 5,095 yards, 37 passing touchdowns and 19 rushing touchdowns, while setting almost all of the school's passing records.

In 1989, he was inducted into the UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame. In 2015, he was inducted into the Southern Nevada Sports Hall of Fame.
