BYE BYE MIKEY BOY!

Its finally happening. They man who has brought the program to its knees the past few seasons is gone. Mike Sanford was announced he will be FIRED dec 5th. If I were him, I would pack my shit and leave now. The team would fare better coaching themselves. This program needs a young flashy head coach, someone whose going to win the games we actually should win.

Sanford had the same locker room speech every game, nothing ever came out of it. He has had a chance to send this school to a bowl two years in a row and lost on the last games of the season to teams that should never have beaten UNLV. The Oregon State game set the tone for the whole season and its lucky we have the four wins we have. Hawaii is on a down year but will be back to the top soon. SDSU is on pace to make a bowl possibley. That's something. They were terrible last year never won a game until UNLV came along and they beat us. Colorado state lost 22 straight games until UNLV came into town and beat us. Lucky for New Mexico who broke our conference road losing streak. We were sold a lemon fans and that makes me very mad. Every other Urban Meyer disciple was successful, just look at Utah and BYU.

This was a joke of a hire. John Robinson's work was for nothing when we hired this guy. J Rob did what he needed to do then figured the program was where it needed to be to get going up. But that was all a huge fake out. Look what Charlie Spoonhour did. He took over a down program turned it around got some good players like Louis Amundson and put the program in the right direction. The Lon comes in an takes us to the next level. We didn't do this with football. We need a coach who is established again, someone who can put the wheels in motion then send it to a good coach who can take us to the next level. It very sad this just doesn't work for this program.

Ill give a you few names I would like to see here in Vegas. Tyrone Willingham, he has had some down years recently but he can coach and recruit and in this league. We just need to be competitive. Ill take 6-6 in a shitty bowl. I think any UNLV football fan would. I'm not looking to win National titles or get a BCS game that just ain't in the cards. But competitive, to where I can go watch UNLV play BYU or TCU and give them a game. I dont want to see a blow out. I have a better time following my high school team.

Now on to better things. Rebel basketball is back and from what I hear its too early to tell. Ill be in attendance at the Mac with Ms. OFMM checking out the boys this season. Ill have my predictions next week on how we look. Ill see UNR and Southern Illinois while I'm there so this should be a good test before the big boys like Louisville and Arizona come into play.

Last this week is all about the Pac Man. If you watched the fight you already know. This guy is something special. He started out as 112lbs flyweight. Now he is the welterweight champion at 140lbs. That is something. He made Cotto look like Peter Mcneally and he is one of the best fighter in the world. So that only leaves one question. What you got Money! If Floyd thinks hes the man its time to step up. Its time to schedule the fight that will make everyone involved millions. This could even put boxing on the map for a few months. I don't want to here the BS about money. Just throw a 50-50 split on everything and lets get to it. Call HBO get the 24/7 cameras out there and May 5th sounds like a good date to me. Floyd this fight will pay you everything and more that you can waste away the next five years. Manny you can buy the Philippines with this type of check. Let see it. I think its time to see the best fighters of their sport for the past 10 years go at it.


That whats on my mind.

SIMSZEE

Shoutout to BUCK B. You will be missed!

  1. All good, ah hum, bad things must come to an end. Or in this case, a crashing halt. But it didn't happen that way. Prez and the A.D let this slouch throw away another season, unfortunate for the kids. As for letting him coach the last game, I don't think there will be any carrying him off the field as ISU did for Dan McCarney in his last game after his firing. And I don't think SADford will move into a winning situation like McCarney did either (he's the D Line coach @ Florida - already with 1 ring). No moral victory either for you Mikey. Your horrendous ability to lead only allows Lon and the boys to shine even brighter this season. Let's call the 09-10 b ball team the 'Nunadis Rebs'. Cuz like pretty boy said, they ain't gonna want 'Nunadis'! Shout out to Ochoquatro. Can't wait to hear his track w Weezy and Young. Maddux Dizzle, hope you got what you wanted for your b day. Can't wait til ur 14 and we can hit up the Rhino. Maybe we will see some Chase employees workin :-0

  2. Oh Holla at Joe Jeeezy! Congrats on the newest edition. Kids are 90% pain in the ass and 10% amazing (Mike if you add those together it's 100%). The 10% though, makes up for 90. Let's begin with UNLV football, are we really shocked that this team isn't competitive? Have they ever been? Our claim to fame was winning the Las Vegas bowl (one of some 30 worthless bowls that needs to be eliminated) back in , I think, 2000. I'm sorry but if you have a .500 record or worse, you shouldn't be allowed to play in a bowl. In the words of one the greatest fictional sports athletes, Ricky Bobby, "If you're not first, you're last". I only hope that Preperation H becomes the next sponsor after MACCO. I'd love to go to someone's stadium when they raise that banner. Watching the fans go, hey we were so good that we won the ass cream bowl, YEAH!!
    UNLV football, what a disgrace. I'm setting the over under for total number of wins in 3 years at 14.5. By then we'll probably be ready for another coach.
