BTW he does know how to coach.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Robinson_%28American_football_coach%29" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
The problems with the football program start with recruiting MW quality of athletes. The basketball program has not been significant since Jerry Tark and that was largely because he was good at bending the rules at a time before the NCAA was the gestapo.

Nope. Just the idea of Vegas is anathema to the values associated with football. Sports betting is a cancer to the purity of all sport IMO.

Huh? Sports betting enhances sports and massively drives popularity. :nod:
BTW, Reno doesn't seem to have the same problems.
I think there's a potential for negative distractions in most large markets. I also think that many kids would prefer going to a large market where they get greater exposure, and that has a killer night life. Not that those things should matter, but I know other Big Sky schools use the size of Cheney against us, assuming the kids aren't aware that Spokane is just down the road.
Would an 18 year old kid rather go off to college in Laramie, Logan, or LV?
Two additional things:
Hauck back to Montana?
Does UNLV have the kind of dollars and commitment to lure Beau?

Sports betting enhances nothing within the context of the game itself. Lots of things are "popular", that doesn't add much to their efficacy. Pet rock anyone?
"Would an 18 year old kid rather go off to college in Laramie, Logan, or LV?" What are you saying or implying? You have some rare insight as to how "all" people make their life decisions? Or just insight into the LCD?
BTW, bet all you want if that is what gets it done for you. Try to refrain from expressing your opinion as universal, it isn't.

Montana would be lucky to get Hauck back in the saddle again IMO, though I don't troll eGriz that frequently to see what they think or what I should think...
