We don't cheat so stick a crack rock and a prostitute in it.

Neither do the Rebels, so stick a corn cob where it don't shine.

Re: from Pat Forde this morning:

Rebelbacker - you are getting in the middle of a smack fest going on between grayback and this board. He came on here spitting out all kinds of crap and any smack type responses towards UNLV are directed at him, not you.

You came on here wanting to talk basketball and have been responded to by some in a like manner. Don't take all the stuff seriously, it's only directed at grayback.

no doubt... reblebacker, you are alright with me.

Re: from Pat Forde this morning:

Umm, no, the Mormons wanted to capitalize on the conference's TV rights. So, they turned down ESPN's offer and created the mtn / cstv. They inked the deal, and shunned ESPN. Why do you think you can't see MWC games on the four-letter network, not even #8 New Mexico? It's because they helped spoil ESPN's plans for a monopoly.

I know the MWC doesn't get exposed as it should. That was the LEAGUE'S choice.

As far as UNI goes....who actually CARED around the country when they were on primetime? That's the point of the debate.

Oh, so now it's that nobody cares when UNI is on ESPN multiple times throughout the season, but we're all a big ball of excitement when UNLV is on a minor sports network available in a fraction of the homes that ESPN is?

We need a rolling emoticon.

If it's true that the "mormons" hijacked the rest of the league and turned away ESPN's offers then not only are you second-rate, you're second-rate and stupid.

I suppose it was an attempt to "maximize" revenue when you "turned down" ESPN to air your title game on your own network. Ooops. I mean on Versus, which isn't your network.

You're not going to spin this away from looking like a very small-time league. Admit UNI had greater national exposure through multiple ESPN appearances than UNLV did, lick your wounds, and find some other subject to center your smack talk on.

Re: from Pat Forde this morning:

It's as simple as this: UNLV is in a marginal conference that had some success this year. You getting cocky this year is like the Big East getting cocky in football because they had a couple of decent teams this year. Your success is a one-and-done type of thing, whereas we have sustained success for the better part of a decade in all of our sports. We spent 6 weeks in the top 25 this year (with good reason), and if you want to disagree with all of the pundits saying that we are going to put it on you, go ahead. But as soon as we put a 2-touchdown beatdown on you come Thursday, I expect every last one of you UNLV bandwagon fans right back here telling us how wrong you were. You know where to find us, bandies. It's amazing that a fanbase with so many bandwagon fans are so uninformed. And then the bandies that haven't even been fans or attending games for 5 years want to throw success from the 80s at us, for which you have been implicated on many platforms for cheating to garner that success. Enjoy the ride, folks, because the UNLV bandwagon's back right tire is about to be blown out by a powerful UNI team. Safe travels to all of you UNLV bandwagon fans making the trip to OKC, I hope to buy you a beer (although it may be hard to find you after Thursday after you buy a bunch of KU gear and join their bandwagon after you lose to us).

In that respect, I agree with you. It WAS a mickey mouse move. And, that's the way it went down. Most of us hate it over here. But, in terms of basketball strength, the MWC has it over the MVC right now, period.

This is one of the biggest bandwagon cop-outs I have ever seen. Your bandwagon fan base (according to you) should be able to outmaneuver the Mormons. But that's the problem with bandwagon fans, when your only stake in a team is to jump on the bandwagon from year-to-year, you can't pull much weight.

Yep, and OJ is innocent too. The whole nation knows the scandals and cheating that went on at UNLV. UNLV and USC are without a doubt the most corrupt athletic departments of all time.

The only difference is that USC is still relevant.

Seriously man. I know you are a huge UNI supporter, but you are probably the last person who should be playing the "bandwagon card" in multiple threads, after your rants from a few weeks ago.

Re: from Pat Forde this morning:

And one more point for the uninformed bandwagon fans of UNLV: Congratulations on beating Southern Illinois University, the 9th place team in our conference. What a bunch of bandie idiots.

Let me tell you something: Your boy Clenz started the ENTIRE thing over on Rebel-Net. He took on UNLVFansincebirth22, and drug him over here. UFSB22 was defending himself, and I just took over for him. We don't fire unless fired upon. So, thank your village idiot for the flame war.

Personally, I think it's tons of fun. But don't think for a second I came over here trolling.

Go back and take a look at all of those threads and tell me how many times I said I was rooting against UNI. For the 100th time, I was more than happy to be wrong, and said throughout that I hoped I was wrong. I think we can see from our seeding that had we not won last Sunday against WSU in St. Louis, my prediction would have been a lot closer to home than many of us would have liked.

Actually, that would be UCLA and Kentucky, thank you.

If we are not relevant, what does that make you?

And, if you weren't so hell-bent on being a know-it-all, you'd sit back and enjoy the defensive remarks about to come from the UNLV "fans" in 5....4.....3...2...

Hahaha! We've got posters on our board like this, too!
