My wife's work set up a morale event at the Nevada-UNLV game Saturday complete with tailgate. Yay.

Sounds fun.  Don't you sorta like Nevada?

Yep. UNLV is a bit of a cupcake these days though. This is a trophy game for the Fremont Cannon. They paint the cannon blue or red depending on who wins. It's been blue for six straight years.

This is also Nevada's first home game of the year. Crazy to start off with a month straight away games, three of which are Oregon, Texas Tech and Boise State.

Should be fun. Plus, a lot of my friends work there too, so this will be a bit like a normal hanging out with my friends event, only paid for by MSFT.  :P

Awesome :cheers:

Must be a tough series having to alternate the site between Reno and Vegas.

His elbow....well....his arm bent completely the wrong way at the elbow.  It looked pretty bad.  They put his arm in one of those air casts and brought the cart out onto the field for him since he was in so much pain.

A RB only needs one arm he better be out there next weekend.  :menace:

He can hit people with the cast.  It'll be great!

He said it wasn't a seaon-ending injury.

sbr

He dislocated his elbow.   :x Besides tearing your Achilles tendon that has always sounded like one of the most painful things you can do.

QuoteHe would not speculate on whether he'll play next Saturday against No. 22 Arizona State.

Just you wait, you don't know cupcakes untill you get to see Wyoming come to town every other year!  Of oucrse, I might go since you will (of course) let me crash on your couch.

It's good that it might not be as bad as it looked live.  :)

I imagine you can get a decent hotel room for 20 bucks + whatever cash you're willing to spend at the roulette wheel.
