calm down rebelfanforever45. Dont need to be adding Hawkins to the starting line-up so soon. Probably not at all this season unless inury. There's more value in him (and Marshall) coming off the bench and providing energy, fresh legs, defense and scoring ability my freind.

the simple fact that our guards are rising and attempting slams, over defenders at that, is encouraging. Please keep it up Oscar, Anthony and whoever else that can get up. No doubt we needed more of that last season, especially from Te'von, who settled a little to much for soft layups that rimed out. Poke those jams in in with athority young guns!

How about "wonder twins" as a nickname for the AM, J-Hawk combination off the bench?

Who cares what sufferin thinks of those questions dude?! He's just gonna give you the same spiel that he has given countless times. Are you new to this board?

I've already figured this guy out. The reason why he hates Kruger so much is cause he wants Reggie Theus to be coach. Which would be a disaster. That guy isn't ready to be handed the keys to this beloved program right now. Needs more seasoning...I will say though that I do enjoy Sufferin's posts. I completly disagree like 99% of the time, but hey we have to have opinions from both ends of the spectrum to stir up the convo :)

Awesome!

Ima be honest to all on this board. AT THIS PONT Lopez isnt as good as Massamba, Santee and Shaw! He will be ready for the college game in about a year or two, but now, as a true freshamn, he's weak, he's wack, he soft, he has no confidence! Baptism by fire will destroy that confidence forever! Seems like everybody is basing everything on what he did to high school kids, "he has a ton of finesse and skill!" yeah against high schoolers. If he can't get busy in practice against the likes of Shaw, Santee and Massamba what the heck do you think he is going to do against BYU, Louisville, Arizona, Reno, Southern Illinois, SDSU etc! Man wake up people!

It was a win, let's all just take it and accept it for what it is. Teams destined to be good find ways to grind out a W no matter who the opponent is, how bad they play or how much their shots aren't falling. PLEEEAAAASSSEEE lets not set the bar too high and put crazy expectations on this squad this early. (I'm having flashbacks of last season already)

1st game of the season. Many new faces coming off red-shirt years or are true freshmen....come on its simple, the guys came out aggressive and ready to attack. Shots just weren't falling. 1st game jitters. Lon was playing the youngins a little more than the regular starters. That's just how I sum it up, no more no less. Who's next!?"Remember #25 Syracuse lost their exhibition game to a D-II opponent. Lucky for them that one didn't count neither.

Good move. Definitely creating a service to a market once neglected and deemed less valuable to formally market too compared to say high end gamblers (who have executive casino hosts to take care of their needs) or big corporate groups (who have meeting planners to take care of them). Harrah's is adapting to the new age in this economy and in essence creating a "host" for the non-gaming specific, leisure traveler that may not be looking for high end luxury, but is still seeking value and quality during their "group" trip.

I see nothing wrong with the committee names listed. Specifically Mike Clauretie a Finance professor in the college of Business. As a former UNLV student (c/o 07) I had the pleasure of taking one of Dr. Clauretie's finance courses and talk about a guy passionate about UNLV students, Finance, and UNLV athletics. Not only were his classes totally awesome and interesting (if you had to take finance then you rushed to get in Dr. Clauretie's class)but he would often spend a little time talking about the basketball program, the previous or current nights game and he even came to class often wearing something with UNLV basketball written on it. Great professor and a smart and passionate guy.
