Chris Ault Cares About Nevada

Tuesday, June 21st, 2011

From the beginning, Chris Ault has been a Nevada guy. He got both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from there. He became the head football coach there at 29 in 1975 and has been heavily involved with University of Nevada athletics ever since, including as athletic director from 1986 to ...

So, Colin How Do You Feel About Buffalo?

Tuesday, March 1st, 2011

According to virtually all reports, Nevada quarterback Colin Kapernick killed it this past weekend at the NFL Combine. So much so that his stock may have jumped by three full rounds. Before the Combine, many saw Kaepernick as a third, fourth or maybe even a fifth rounder. After this weekend he's ...

Bowl Preview: Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl

Saturday, January 8th, 2011

(15) Nevada (12-1) vs. Boston College (7-5) (+7.5) It's a little bit perfect that Nevada is playing the day before the last BCS game. After all, they DID screw, er, beat Boise State and ruin their shot at the BCS. And I spent the last three years absolutely loving Nevada. But ...

Et tu, Nevada?

Saturday, November 27th, 2010

How, exactly, did that happen? Boise State, arguably the best team in all of college football, the most complete, well-rounded squad we've seen all year, utterly fell apart in Reno like a drunken gambler who couldn't afford to play in Vegas. Up 24-7 after the half, and with a chance ...

Week 13 College Football Picks

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010

Record after week 12: 132-56 (94-90-4 ATS) Thursday, November 25, 2010 8 pm ET (17) Texas A&M (8-3) at Texas (5-6) (+3.5) I can't say enough about how hilarious these two teams' records look to me.  And I'm still sticking with my conspiracy theory that Mack Brown is done after this year. His veiled ...

Week 10 College Football Picks

Thursday, November 4th, 2010

Record after week nine: 96-44 (69-68-3 ATS) 12 pm ET Illinois (5-3) at Michigan (5-3) (-3) If only Michigan could play defense, we might have something more substantial to talk about. Worse, their future prospects don't look any better on that side of the ball, nor is there any kind of help for ...

Something to watch until football starts in four hours (courtesy of Deadspin commenter Hustler of Culture): Friday Night Action: Nevada 52 Cal 31 - You're my boy, Blue! Colin Kaepernick and Nevada finally have a marquee win. This is the ...

Week Two College Football Picks

Thursday, September 9th, 2010

Record: 7-4 (4-6-1 ATS) Yahoo! league record: 7-9 Noon ET (15) Georgia Tech (1-0) at Kansas (0-1) (+14) What a terrible time for the (already) beleaguered Turner Gill-led Kansas squad to play a brutally effective Georgia Tech team. That 6-3 loss to North Dakota State was bad enough, but now Gill's essentially talent-less team ...

Nevada Causes Me To Contemplate My Mortality

Friday, December 25th, 2009

Following Nevada in 2009 was pretty much like life. You start off small, bloody, and screaming (0-3 start), then you do some stuff in the middle, maybe make a name for yourself in your own little corner of the world (top rushing team in the nation, play close with Boise), ...

Your College Football Bowl Preview Part Two

Monday, December 21st, 2009

After three games that left a lot to be desired, though MTSU/Southern Miss wasn't too bad, we've finally made it to three games that absolutely are worth watching. I'm not gonna blow smoke up your ass about these games being so amazing that you can't miss them, but I promise ...
