The outcome of UNLV’s football season — and of coach Bobby Hauck’s future — should quickly become crystal clear. UNLV, after opening at Minnesota at 4 p.m. PDT today and then against Arizona at Sam Boyd Stadium, faces a four-game stretch in which it might be favored each week.
The Mountain West has a new look, but the same sort of outcome is expected.
You find the evidence on Page 81 of the UNLV football media guide, where tentative nonconference schedules for the Rebels are listed through 2017. There are several TBAs. If he has enough success this season to remain UNLV’s coach, Bobby Hauck has plans for them.
There have been 26 college football seasons since I first rolled across Hoover Dam. There have been three winning ones. It could be argued the Rebels’ run of futility over the past quarter-century is unsurpassed.
We’re hours away from the start of UNLV’s 2013 football campaign. These 5 games — including Thursday night’s opener — could make or break the season for the Rebels and Coach Bobby Hauck.
Johnny Manziel was suspended for the first half of Texas A&M’s opening game against Rice on Saturday for what the school called an “inadvertent” violation of NCAA rules by signing autographs.
The piped-in crowd noise at Rebel Park was loud Monday night, but Nick Sherry kept his cool and lofted a pass toward the back left corner of the end zone to wide receiver Marcus Sullivan.
If your idea of tailgating is a case of beer and a bag of chips, you have so, so much to learn, my friend.

In the next few months, Neal Smatresk will introduce the school’s 12th full-time athletic director — who will take over a troubled department with shaky finances, a struggling football program and a poor relationship with the Thomas & Mack Center.
Though his team took some serious graduation hits after finishing second in the state last season, Liberty coach Rich Muraco still had high hopes for his team’s season opener.
I absolutely believe that within the next 80 or so years, perhaps around the time Bobby Hauck’s great-great-great grandson is arm wrestling elks in Montana, UNLV will navigate through a schedule unscathed. Here’s why it could happen this season.
Mountain Pointe (Ariz.) scored on its first play from scrimmage Friday night on the way to a 28-21 Sollenberger Classic victory over Bishop Gorman, ranked No. 21 by USA Today.
When Liberty lost in the state semifinals to Bishop Gorman in 2011, Patriots football coach Rich Muraco decided the best way to compete with the private school powerhouse was to beef up his team’s nonleague schedule.
When Bishop Gorman’s football team kicks off its season Friday night, senior Zack Singer will be right in the middle of things. And that’s exactly the way he likes it.
