A rebuilding effort with a new head coach and new players is underway in Reno as we preview the 2022 edition of the Nevada Wolf Pack. The Nevada Wolf Pack are in a state of rebuilding as they head into the 2022 football season. That is the best way to describe Wolf Pack football at its current state of affairs. Nevada welcomes a new head coach in…

The NCAA Tournament has Cinderellas and buzzer-beaters. Madness belongs to bowl season. A record 43 bowl games will be played over the next few weeks - more than double the number of bowl games held in 1997 - and 17 of them will feature at least one team without a winning record. A dizzying number of coaches and coordinators have already ditched…

Perhaps it's the hectic nature of the holidays - the festivities, tending to the Christmas lists, the Egg Nog(!) - or all the emphasis on NFL playoff scenarios. But in comparison to March Madness, which draws an estimated 40 million Americans to bet upward of $9 billion, the college bowl pool gets undeservedly lost in the shuffle. It isn't right.…

It was the morning of December 6, 2021.

Early that Monday, a bombshell rippled across the Mountain West - Nevada head coach Jay…

Some facts, fun and frivolity ahead of college football bowl season, which finally is at hand on Friday.

Nevada's coach (Jay Norvell) also…

It's one thing to develop a computerized power-ranking system that factors in rushing yards per game, strength of schedule and average margin of victory. But since the nation's oddsmakers haven't yet created a program that can read minds, setting point spreads for a slew of college bowl games is an exercise akin to palm reading. There's been…

College football is all the way back! For the first time since late November of last year, every conference at the FBS level will have games, and there is plenty of action to start us off in 2022. The Michigan Wolverines will take on the Colorado State Rams of the Mountain West Conference to kickoff the season at the Big House. But there are plenty…

For Jay Norvell and Colorado State, Saturday's game against Michigan represents an opportunity to redefine the program after an embarrassing end to the 2021 season. The Rams went 3-9 last fall, capped by a 52-10 defeat to Nevada during which Steve Addazio was ejected for picking up two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties. Addazio was then fired and…
