Have u guys booked your hotel in reno yet? Im gonna stay at one of the casinos, wondering if anyome found any deals thx

We are going to be in Reno a few weeks before the game so won't be making a trip back across the country so soon. Looked into rooms at a couple of the casinos and, if I remember correctly, the Peppermill was a better deal than the Atlantis. We usually stay at the Atlantis, but go with friends who get our room comped. Both of those are a little bit south of downtown, closer to the airport. The downtown casinos are pretty old. I would recommend the Atlantis or Peppermill.

Hi everybody, Nevada fan here spying on the competition We're pretty excited to have you guys come to town in September. It should be a good game. A few things you may or may not know, we're one of the few colleges that still sells alcohol at the games. The University itself is a beautiful campus, so hopefully those of you who come have a chance to check it out. The stadium is nothing to get excited about....30,000 seats worth of bleacher seats :/

I wanted to respond directly to a few of the comments here.

I want Nevada in the BIg East. I like their style of play. they need to grow the program a bit more, but I think they would be a good addition to the west. I think they are a better program than SDSU.

I'm flattered by this but I doubt it will ever happen. We don't have the market size i.e. SDSU to warrant such a move. And our AD has gone on record stating we won't split our sports into separate conferences i.e. FB in BE and BB in the Big West.

Hope it's humid

I can pretty much guarantee that won't be the case. The game time temp will probably be 85 with humidity of 20%. We're in the desert and 5,000 feet up. The air is thin here. That's our one major advantage. Teams that come from lower elevations get winded especially if it's a close game.

Well good luck to you guys and I'm sure as the game gets closer more and more of our fans will drop by. Is it time for football yet?

Glad to hear they sell beer at the game.

Hey Mugtang, thanks for the info. This was actually part of an inside joke on our board. Coach last year blamed.one of our losses on the lack of humidity at gametime. Hopefully we won't be blaming another one this year on altitude! Haha.

That's awesome....he really blamed a loss on lack of humidity? Not execution of the game plan or himself or the players? Wow.....

I guess this is what I get for being an outsider trying to comment on a board I'm not familiar with.
