Good game yesterday, definitely. But once our guys learn how to put together a "season" I'll begin to celebrate. And I do have room to talk: I've been a die-hard UNLV football fan for 27 years and have seen exactly 1 good, and 1 marginally good "season" during that stretch. All other 25 seasons have been a joke. It's amazing how apathetic I've become considering how passionate I was before about UNLV football.
Why did we decide to finally beat CSU and lose so bad to everyone else? Somebody explain that. It makes no sense how we consistently suck, and it kills fan interest when the entire season is embarrassing with a single good game or two.... every... year. This is the first year of my life I have not attended any Rebel games, because only one or two wins is 100% meaningless, and that's all you ever get as a Rebel football fan.
25 years of getting your heads kicked in is enough for me. Call me when our guys decide to play an entire football season instead of 2 games, and I will instantly come back. That said, it was a good game yesterday from what I saw on the highlights. Congratulations on the win.
Fun game tonight. Very nice win.
You don't get it. There's discussions now about an on-campus stadium. By substantially enhancing the UNLV profile with a new on-campus stadium you enable yourself to hire better coaches who win more. You really think we're just hiring bad coaches over and over and over because we're dumb? Please. No real coach wants to come here. That's all UNLV can lure in. Sorry but that approach has failed over 30 years now, looking for the right coach to fix everything. The current state of UNLV football is a beginner point for any coach, a stepping stone.
Capitalize on the new on-campus stadium and you instantly change the program base, the school, and tradition in major ways.
Sorry but "eventually" doesn't work anymore.
5 of the past 7 years have been 2-win seasons for UNLV. 2 wins! This year we've been outscored 110 to 24 points. I love UNLV but seasons and seasons of garbage football have taken a toll. It's embarrassing. The difference between UNR and UNLV is they have an on-campus stadium they can build tradition around each year and Vegas is stuck with a piece of crap dump in no-mans land that symbolizes loserville. Hawaii will kill us. Southern Utah might kill us. All we do is lose and lose and lose and lose in football. And then other times we lose ugly. The situation has become serious and it's time to change. An opportunity to build a real stadium for UNLV is here and I really hope Nevada officials don't miss the boat on it. There's no reason why every single town in America has to have a much better football team than Las Vegas. And there's a TON of reasons why Las Vegas SHOULD produce an elite football team. Build the new stadium on UNLV's campus and watch it transform the school, and the city... because after 30 years of the same inexcusable nonsense, it's time to create something. My question is how can the public get involved and help support the new stadium? We're WAY overdue on this.

I can also support a loser, but for only about 25 years. I have other things to do on a Saturday than watch my school get beat by 50 again.
I don't expect a win against Boise St., but at least try to show you belong in the same conference as them.
