UNR made its share of mistakes, seemed to play disinterested at times and didn’t spend all Saturday night embarrassing UNLV like it did in the previous two meetings. But the bottom line remained much the same.
UNLV Football

OK, Reno, I’ve gotta admit I dig the cool zephyrs during summertime, falling asleep to the mournful whistles and clickety-clack, clickety-clack of the Union Pacific and the fact I can break out a bowling shirt and an old pair of Wranglers with holes in the knees and back pockets and blend right in on Virginia Street.
As far as assignments go, I’ve had tougher. Like when I was given two choices on a coin flip.
