UNLV Football Has Nevada Bragging Rights

I always said give John Hauck time and he will turn around the UNLV football and this season he is showing why is going to be a great coach in the NCAA.
From the Las Vegas Sun:
The chants started before kickoff and got more unprintable as hundreds of UNR fans pushed tighter and tighter into a fence holding them back from UNLV’s victory parade.

After it was over, after the Rebels snapped an eight-game series losing streak and took back the Fremont Cannon with a 27-22 victory in Reno tonight, those clad in blue wanted nothing more than to get out of Mackay Stadium. Holding them up in the east corner of the stadium were steel gates and guards holding the line for UNLV to stream off the field and into the visitor’s locker room.

Wolf Pack fans lobbed every known obscenity and a few made-up insults at the players and coaches wearing red. Each one made the Rebels bounce a little higher and scream a little louder as they marched in to celebrate with the heaviest trophy in college football, which is in for a new paint job.
“Coming off when you know you’ve got the win, you did what you came here to do, (the insults) made the smile much bigger,” said quarterback Caleb Herring. “No matter what was said we got the win. We got the cannon and we’re going back to Vegas as winners.”  http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2013/oct/26/we-got-cannon-rebels-take-back-rivalry-trophy-unr/
This is a great win for UNLV and they are only 1 win way from being bowl eligible.  Of course, UNLV will have to have several more wins because it won't be easy to go to a bowl game.  UNLV doesn't draw many fans at home and far fewer travel to away games.
So, congratulations to UNLV and their very good season so far.
