Forty-four years ago, it was 1969. Bullets were flying in Southeast Asia. And Mark Larson said it was getting dark at Mackay Stadium up in Reno.

UNLV senior running back Tim Cornett hobbled away from Rebel Park on crutches Tuesday, looking nowhere close to being ready to play a football game.
Four people accused of roles in an altercation caught on video following a New York Jets-New England Patriots game in New Jersey are now banned from all events held at the stadium.
