MONDAY

PRO HOCKEY

Long Beach Ice Dogs at Las Vegas Wranglers, midnight, Orleans Arena.

Keep your shirts on girls: It's only a late-night hockey game, not an audition for the Crazy Horse Too. Three-second delay should keep this year's video board PG-rated after last year's "exhibition" game.

TICKET INFORMATION: 284-7777.

THURSDAY

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Pepperdine at UNLV, 1 p.m., Thomas & Mack Center.

Rebels catch the Waves in a rare Thursday afternoon game, leaving the Mormon fans plenty of time to get stuck in traffic on the way to the sold-out Las Vegas Bowl.

THURSDAY

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Pioneer PureVision Las Vegas Bowl, BYU vs. Cal, 5 p.m.

Move over Mick Jagger. You too, U2. Saddle up, National Finals Rodeo. The hottest ticket in town is an almost irrelevant college football game featuring two out-of-town teams. That has got to drive Mike Sanford crazy.

TICKET INFORMATION: Sold out.
