UNLV
The memory of the controversial conclusion to UNLV’s football game at Iowa State two years ago lives on — and not just in the YouTube clip that features an angry Rebels coach Mike Sanford.
Even while dealing with half a deck of cards last season, UNLV basketball coach Lon Kruger never complained about playing short-handed.
Given what happened to his conference last weekend, Pac-10 commissioner Tom Hansen picked a good time for a European vacation.
UNLV wide receiver Phillip Payne’s spectacular one-handed touchdown catch that sent Saturday’s football game at Arizona State into overtime made ESPN’s highlights and created plenty of buzz among Rebels fans.
Mike Sanford’s reaction following his football team’s upset of Arizona State on Saturday night is precisely why the celebration rule that cast a dark cloud over the Brigham Young-Washington game a week earlier needs to be shredded like unnecessary documents.
Even though UNLV must turn its attention to the future, most notably Saturday’s home game against Iowa State, the Rebels’ 23-20 overtime victory at Arizona State on Saturday night was so stunning, it demands a visit to the past.
