All Versus did was waste a half year of everyone's time and cause Rebel fans to miss some of the most exciting games of the season for absolutely nothing.

That channel is a complete waste of airspace. The sooner CBSC, Versus and the Mtn go bankrupt and liquidate the better!

Love this kid's attitude! He sounds like a winner and a great get for the Rebels! Can't wait to see him play for us in 2011. Finally we'll have someone who can put SDSU's Leonard on his backside!

Hah, I remember it well! Love that to this day, almost 20 years later, UA fans are still seething with rage over the Rebs autographing their basketball!

I'll never forget when UNLV's seeding was announced for the 1991 tourney and we could all see a UNLV-Georgetown matchup in the second round.

The Hoyas had a weak backcourt that year, but their frontcourt was NBA all star caliber with Alonzo Mourning and Mutumbo both starting.

My friends and I all had the same reaction: NCAA out to screw UNLV again!!

Their plan backfired though when the Rebels put the Hoyas away with little difficulty.

Maybe they should re-name it "Lake Obama" in honor of the president who killed Vegas's convention business and sake the Lake's business into a sinkhole.

Harry Reid saved City Center. Why couldn't he save Lake Las Vegas?

Gumby's exactly right.

We're nervous because of the upcoming road contest at Utah, because CSU, TCU, AFA all played UNLV close.

We're nervous because of what might happen down the stretch, not because the Rebels lost two in a row to good opponents.

It does however stink that UNLV had a chance to control its own destiny by closing out SDSU and UNM and didn't take advantage of that opportunity, leaving no room for error in the last 5 games or in the MWC tourney.

"He said the network helps brings needed exposure to all of the school's sports ... A good example would be Wednesday, when the women's contest was shown in its entirety."

I understand Jerry K is just trying to be a company man and stick up for the horrible decision to switch away from ESPN made by his boss and the other MWC AD's a few years ago, but saying this TV deal brings exposure to all of the schools sports because the women's game was on TV Weds is just ridiculous.

Millions of DirectTV subscribers couldn't watch UNLV's biggest win of the year on Saturday against BYU because DirectTV dropped that channel due to Versus's unreasonable demands.

Millions more couldn't watch the first half of UNLV's second biggest game of the year against UNM because no one was awake at CBSC to switch Vegas to the Rebel game. Either that or the network couldn't afford the live look in software and camera package ESPN has.

The reality is that UNLV gets more exposure from one or two appearances on ESPN than it does from ALL of the games shown on CBSC, Versus, the Mtn combined for an entire season because NO ONE WATCHES these networks.

And no one watches these networks because they are filled with programming no one wants to watch.

Like 4OT MWC women's basketball match ups.

And the stats K threw at you about CBSC offering 'three times' as much as ESPN were simply NOT TRUE. Go back a few years and read the stories on the TV deal in the Sun.

ESPN offered something like $68MM over 7 years, the CBSC group offered $84MM over 7 years.

When you do the math, 9 schools get an extra $16MM over 7 years for being on CBSC group instead of ESPN.

Divide $16MM by 7 then divide by 9 and you see that each school, including UNLV, gets an extra $250,000 a year to play its games on CBSC instead of ESPN.

For the price of a foreclosure house in Las Vegas, we could have been watching UNM vs. UNLV on ESPN last night instead of Reno vs. Idaho.

The MWC gambled that by using CBSC as leverage against ESPN, the MWC could get a better deal with ESPN. The gamble failed when ESPN walked away from the deal and the MWC got stuck playing most of its games on networks no one watches.

Hunt and Willis are such different guards playing on such different teams, you really can't compare them.

Willis is better suited to a pro game and pro style offense. He shoots well enough from the outside to be effective, but not lights out or deadly.

He's a good defender, but not a lock down type like Hunt was.

Willis penetrates and finishes in the paint better than any 2 guard Tark had.

But when it comes to getting up and down the court, Willis looks like a hippo compared to lightning fast guys like Hunt and Banks.

Hunt's speed in transition, touch from the outside, sheer leaping ability and defensive abilities were all way better than Tre's.

But Tre is physically bigger and stronger, gets into the paint almost at will (at least against weaker competition), and finishes when he goes to the rim, all skills Hunt and Banks never had.

Apples and oranges really.

Tre is best player on our team this season, and we'll go as far as he takes us in MWC and NCAA tourney play. We're lucky to have him!

Somebody please somehow someway get Polee to the T&M on Feb. 6 to see the Rebs play BYU or at the very least on Feb. 10 when the Lobos come to town.

Both games should be sellouts and intense battles from start to finish.

If you really want to give Polee a true taste of what basketball at UNLV was like back in the glory days and what it could be again if we get him and CJ, then get him to the Mack on Feb. 6 or Feb.10!!

I thought Harry Reid saved MGM from bankruptcy?

Guess Harry was too busy to educate his fellow members of the Senate on the importance of travel and tourism to Nevada.

Or to get a piece of the big high speed rail giveaway Obama handed out this morning.

Remind me again: exactly what are all of those benefits Nevada receives by continuing to re-elect Harry Reid?
