(if anyone didn't know) That story is an alternative, manufactured truth, intended to protect him from his true fathers name. Adam is aTargaryen. He can talk to snakes too. I'm not really sure what to think of Laxalt. But if half of what I've heard about Sisolak is true, he is a top tier scumbag who should probably be behind bars.

Extra Mayo Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I was watching Family Fued the other day and a former wolfpack bball player was one of the contestants. He said he played at "The University of Nevada Reno" #UNR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, all of my Wolf Pack gear says...NEVADA. And all of the networks and media refer to the Wolf Pack as...NEVADA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal, Cal Berkley, Berkley, UCB are all synonymous as well. And I doubt any of their alums get bent out of shape if someone calls them "Berkley." I don't know why some NV fans are so insistent on being called "Nevada" exclusively. It's kind of petty, IMO. Quote "Don't underestimate Joe Biden's ability to F@*k things up."

sandiegopete Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Why is this an important subject for Nevadans? Or, is it just important for some alums? And if so, why? I agree with Shark Tanked. There is currently 5 pages of hooey on this topic.

Victor Maitlin Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 So, let me get this straight. Some people preferred the guy who--at the behest of the Koch Brothers and similar to what Walker attempted in Wisconsin--would have gutted the university's already meager funding over the other guy because the other guy might have you attach Reno to your name? 2 Quote SteelCityBlueNovember 24th, 2018 at 9:10 PM ^I'm looking forward to a new head coach who isn't a cud-chewing autistic retard.
