  1. Wow, Hauck deserves an contract extension for this amazing showing! He is the man for us!!! I am sorry I ever doubted the guy...Looking amazing Rebels though 3 quarters.

  2. Bobby Hauck needs to be terminated after the Hawaii game

    He may have brought us a better athlete and a better program but his gameday skills are the worst ever.

    See ya Bobby

  3. FIRE HAUK! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! WHY DO YO GO FOR IT ON 4TH DOWN IN FIELD GOAL RANGE? SOMEONE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE TELL ME.

  4. What are you complaining about? He got the standard expected 2 wins. The stands are empty and all the writers and standing in this loser's corner.Livengood never made a good football coach hire at U of A what makes you think he can do it here? What's he make 2 million a year for not having to make a decision. Sweet job!

  5. wow looks like there were just as many folks at Centennial vs Gorman last night

  6. Does this mean we aren't closing out our season with four "doable" wins and closing on a positive note?

  7. looks like all those bettors will be cashing tickets again for under 4 wins on unlv. i have said it before and will say it again this program is pathetic . i laugh at all the comments like "go rebels" and "give hauck more time " unlv is just not a condusive football environment for winning . no athletic dining halls,no athletic study halls ,no indoor facility to practice on, no huge weight room , the stadium is not on campus,and the neighborhood around unlv is just dangerous . you wont get a stadium built because economic times in vegas will not let that happen . you cant build a 60,000 seat stadium for 3,000 fans . you can fire hauck but you have to pay him a lot of money and unlv doesnt have any big boosters willing to shell out the bucks for that . just be glad he doesnt have ferentz contract at iowa his buyout is 20 million . as for recruiting your always going to get the players that were not good enough for the big schools . if my kid was playing football in high school and he had visits to oregon,usc,oklahoma,and then unlv he sure wouldnt go here . can unlv afford to lose 3 million a year on football by providing and paying housing for 65 players ,hotel rooms the night before home games,travel,and lets not forget that great fall camp in ely ,nv. to secape the august heat so it wont make us tough . i am still shocked nike hasnt dropped there funding yet because the football team is bad. unlv basketball to the rescue to save the athletic budget
