I’m gonna go ahead and apologize for these Vegas blowhards ruffling

feathers lately. If ya didn’t know, I am a Native Las Vegan and R8R since ‘89. We are a prideful bunch, but some of us aren’t very smart. Forgive them, for they know not what they do.
UNLV Men’s Basketball still unites true Las Vegans like no other. Tonight my dad, brothers, and close friends all attended and hung out together while the team notched a meaningful win.

UNLV has been rated at the most diverse university in the country many times.
“I was fired up, the history of this program resonates with me. I remember having my UNLV parka that I wore in the 7th grade shooting some Stacey Augmon fadeways and Anderson Hunt long range jump shots.” TJO was a fan as a kid..

The best 9/11 reference I’ve ever heard was Eminem on Patiently Waiting.
“Shady Records was 80 seconds away from the towers some cowards fucked with the wrong buildings they meant to hit ours”
There are absolutely zero excuses for UNLV Basketball not to interview Stacey Augmon for their head coaching job. Program is on its back and the count is nine.
Coach Stacey Augmon
-Loyal
-Dependable
-Defensive minded
-Experienced
-Connected
-Respected
-Well known
-Knowledgeable
-Passionate
-Poised
Deserves at the bare minimum consideration. At maximum, is still the right fit for UNLV.

UNLV has
-alienated its fanbase
-jettisoned it’s mascot
-burned bridges with its legends
-tastelessly fired legacy coaches
-continuously made bad hires
-unjustly fired a HOF coach
Among other missteps, winning is a virtual impossibility with this kind of pedigree.
Attention Rebels do you want a mascot again? The Rebellion team and the Rebel Events Board has created a petition for you to sign! Get as many signatures as possible!
So bizarro Utah State from little Logan wins the conference and its tournament with a first year coach. Then we have a staff bitching about getting the boot after putting up putrid numbers for 3 years w/ a superior brand, city and facilities. People need a reality check.

for restoring this piece and adding what seems to be a couple of extra bits of artwork in Gilliam and Gondrezick action shots. Means a lot. 🙏🏽💯

So I did a thing and started a talk sports radio show. Debuts tomorrow on Fox Sports Radio Las Vegas FM 98.9 / 1340 AM from 9-9:30am tomorrow and every Saturday after. Check me out on the RADIO, y’all!

Jerry and Lois Tarkanian opened up so many doors for the City of Las Vegas, and gave us some of the greatest moments life has to offer. His legacy remains underrated and under appreciated, but he is still loved and missed greatly.
Served hard time in a maximum security penitentiary, lost his job and just about everything else, repented and reformed with sincerity, and donates to animal rights causes. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS.
Congratulations to the UNLV Lady Rebels on another fine season. Experience has taught me not to get discouraged with one-and-done exits in the NCAA tournament. Keep doing your thing,
@lindylarocque
, we’ll get there. 🙌🏽
The only way Mark Davis can be taken seriously as a football anything is if he fires Josh McDaniels immediately. There is no way to spin losing to a coach with no previous experience.
Make no mistake, UNLV should have given Coach Augmon at least an interview. However, circling back to the Kruger coaching tree has opened a legitimate opportunity to bring our amazing alumni players back together. Lon did a wonderful job with it during his tenure.

, (and there aren’t many), suck it up buttercups. It can’t get any worse. It’s been bad for a long time. Try something new: Pitch in some positive vibes and hope for the best.
Mark Davis is realizing something about Vegas that Jerry Tarkanian figured out long ago and Bill Foley knew going in. This town just won’t support a loser.
This is just too funny. If UNLV hired Bobby Petrino to be it’s head coach I probably would have been pretty happy with it. But alas, he’s the OC with a better resume than the guy he’s working for.
If and when Odom leaves you don’t have to look very far for a solid replacement.
Went to today’s UNLV Hoops caravan. I legitimately get a good feeling everytime I’m around Coach O. This time, was able to speak with him one-on-one. We had a great convo. I believe they will eventually reunite our legends.
