UNLV at Nevada - The battle for UNLV's Fremont Cannon

Coach Marcus Arroyo understands why football must be played this fall... because keeping the cannon is something that must be earned on the field not continued by default.

Of course it matters to Nevada fans. Joe Santoro has always been a sports journalist provocateur. It’s his shtick. He doesn’t speak (or write) for Nevada fans.
 

This isn’t to say Santoro can’t write or isn’t a good journalist when he writes straight, but penning dumb opinions, most of which he can’t possibly believe, is how he has “distinguished” himself as a writer in northern Nevada for decades.

Ergo Chris Murray = Joe Santoro.

Joe Santoro is an idiot.  He’s blocked most of Wolf Pack twitter because they’ve called him out on his stupid twitter takes.

The way you describe him makes him sound similar to Bischoff in LV... he came from SEC country and is annoyed that he has to include UNLV content, so he channels that into trolling the fans.  Takes the Colin Cowherd "contrarian view" approach.

Actually in the article that Santoro was promoting his answer was that yes, the cannon does matter.  His clickbait was misleading.  The article was from last December, odd that he was promoting it again, and also odd that it caught Coach Arroyo's attention.

yeah...sorry we can't be as gracious as you UNR fans have been since you chipped away at the 50-25 record we held against you guys in hoops over the last few years.

UNLV owns you. 

Man, with such a proud tradition it must really hurt to be Nevada’s bitch now.

In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

UNLV owns you. 

I notice that you conveniently awkwardly including Arizona while leaving off Boise, who is the next value. I remember UNLV fans used to have their record against MW teams in their signature. Not as impressive now that you have a losing record against a football-centric newcomer. And after next year it will be losing records against both SDSU and BSU.

Also, the series record against Nevada is 60-31. Sports-reference isn't accurate for those records because it doesn't include games that were played while either school wasn't D1.

 

Here are UNLV's actual series record against the MW:
Nevada: 60-31
San Diego State: 37-37
New Mexico: 37-25
Wyoming: 43-18
Colorado State: 41-17
Air Force: 40-14
San Jose State: 41-6
Fresno State: 32-15
Utah State: 33-9
Boise State: 10-11

 

It looks bad, but at the rate we're currently going the Nevada/UNLV series will be pretty close in another 10 years. Sadly, the football one probably will be too.

Here's another game, Rebels.  Look to see what your school's head to head record is post-Jerry Tarkanian (since '92-'93).  Bolded means you won.  

Huh.  It looks like UNLV is 6-7 in nearly three decades since Tark was ousted.

Let's take it a step further @bigd and @NVGiant.  Look at the records in the MW era (since '99-2000).

UNLV is 1-4 in the modern era vs UC Santa Barbara.  I guess beach boys own Vegas.

If I counted correctly, UNLV and Nevada are even at 21-21 since Tark was fired.

And Nevads is up 16-15 since the creation of the MWC.

Looks pretty dominant to me. UCSB hoops > UNLV hoops.

They haven't hit us up since 2013.  Wonder why?

Nevada finished this decade 12-8 vs UNLV, with six consecutive victories.
