Two years was a long enough wait for the Wolf Pack to take back the Fremont Cannon. A career receiving night from Romeo Doubs not only helped earn Nevada the largest rivalry trophy in football, but also let the Wolf Pack leave Las Vegas with a win in the first collegiate football contest played in the new Allegiant Stadium.
It’s the annual conundrum. Is it too soon to turn off the irrigation system? With recent nights down to the teens here in Washoe Valley, we turned off the irrigation system and drained it prior to the hard freezes. Then we turned off the outside water and drained the hose bibs too. Yet with temperatures back in the 60s with low to mid-30s at night, I’m sure I will have to irrigate again soon.

The Nevada Wolf Pack’s football season is on the line Saturday night in Las Vegas. And we’re not talking about the Mountain West standings. A loss to the UNLV Rebels, after all, certainly would not eliminate the Pack from championship consideration.

Jordan or James? Even James would want Jordan to take that last shot and would pass him the ball.
