Lenny, I wish and hope you are right, and the Rebels pull off the upset in Provo. But I just don't see BYU losing two in a row, especially at home. It will take a miracle. Rebels have to play their best, and BYU has to sleep walk for UNLV to win this one. If the game was in Vegas, I'd be bit more optimistic. But I got the feeling BYU is going to come out to prove a point. The loss at the Pit just made them that much more hungry. Mix in the 20,000 fans ... I donno man, I hope you are right, and I am wrong.
It sure would be nice tho.
Hey Rob? You may want to find out what the word "Kir" means in Persian (Farsi), before posting it as the coach's favorite drink. The literal translation is, ummm let's say, unflattering.
You may want to change the story back to just "Cure"...
And kudos to Rebel fans who did not abandoned the team in time of need.
17,190 is a respectable crowd size in any arena. But after the last two games, I didn't think we would have more than 10,000 at the Mack tonight. What the heck do I know?
Go, Fight, Win !!!!!
A much needed win, indeed. This was "fun".
It is amazing how a little leadership from the seniors, a lot of focus and intensity from the team, and restored confidence can turn a team around. 4 starters scoring in double digits, 78% free throw shooting, stingy defense, penetration offense ... where were these guys in the previous three games?
By the way, who was that #44 guy throwing his body around, and scoring in the paint? Mark this as the game that turns Santee's game around. While his lack of rebounding can be compensated by that of Rene and Joe, Santee's inside game can add a whole new dimension to our offense.
There is still alot of work to be done, but let's hope this was the turning point. I, for one, will be sleeping a little better tonight.
One more thing, what is up with all the missed 2 or 3 foot lay ups?
Go Rebels!!!

Wow Rob, easy Buddy. I didn't mean to ruffle any feathers with my comment. If anything, it was a tongue'n cheek comment that was posted while I chuckled. I couldn't care less if the word is changed or not, and quite frankly I'm a bit disappointed to see how little you think of your readers' intelligence. I am quite aware of the fact that not many Persians read these articles, and the little word is not going to cause any problems. I did not "twist or read" anything into the word (as you implied), nor did I think twice about it. As a person who is fortunate to speak five languages, I am quite aware that a word in one language can mean something different (and in this case "offensive") in another. So in the grand scheme of things, it is not me who needs to "relax".
And BleedRebelRed? Grow up... :) What are you? 12 yo?
