Does this mean that Mike Clausen is playing on both sides of the ball now, since you said that he had two tackles for a loss as a linebacker?

Thanks for the update Ryan. I must have overlooked that article.

Ryan - Is that Henry Buckley article still in the works? I know a lot of UNLV fans are interested in getting a nice update on the kid.

Nice picks, although personally I would have given POY to Hobson alone.

I'd be happy with either of these guys, but for some reason, Hauck intrigues me the most.

@ liljoe31:

It was JHawk.

Koloskie has completed the first step that he needed to take to be seriously considered for AD. Sanford needed to go, which was obvious to all. Koloskie was in a tough position being interim AD, but he did pull the trigger, saving the University nearly $50K in the way that he did it. I can live with that, even though I would have liked to see Sanford exit the scene earlier.

Step two. Jerry, if you're reading this, please consider this step as well. You NEED to replace the baseball coach. You have THE PERFECT replace ready, willing, and able to take the job sitting in your lap. Make Tim Chambers the baseball coach (now, before the season and serious practicing starts) and you'll win over more UNLV fans to your cause. This needed to happen a year or two ago.

Rob,

I believe that the information of who initiated the redshirt talk is important in the context of go_rebels comment. As I stated previously, he seemed to be under the impression that Carlos would be unhappy with the decision to redshirt this year, and as a result, would transfer from the program. Also, he seemed to be under the impression it was all Kruger's idea.

By shedding light on the fact that Carlos was actually the one who brought up the idea to Kruger, it shows that Carlos is at least willing to entertain the idea. Coach Kruger may have been considering redshirting him regardless, but the fact that Carlos started the talks says to me that he wouldn't be so unhappy with the decision that he would immediately want to transfer out of the program.

All I'm trying to say is that it DOES matter, IF you are trying to determine what Carlos' frame of mind is.

I love your articles Rob, but with all due respect, what I copy and pasted did have something that wasn't here.

My comment was in response to go_rebels who insinuated that Carlos would be unhappy with a redshirt (i.e., that it was all Kruger's idea). Your article is ambiguous as to who initiated the redshirt talks, while the quote that I posted gives the insight that it was Carlos' idea.

BTW, I still think that the Sun's coverage of the Rebels blows the pants of the RJ's coverage. Sorry if I offended by using the "enemies" stuff. At least I didn't post a link, right?

Carlos is going anywhere. It was his idea to consider a redshirt. Read the following from the RJ:

He (Kruger) did not insert 6-11 Carlos Lopez, however, and said the freshman from Findlay Prep initiated the idea of being redshirted this season while he works on getting stronger.

"We'll continue to talk about that now," Kruger said. "It would be a good option for him if we can afford to do it. But the ballgame tonight showed that we could probably use Carlos."
