STRENGTH & CONDITIONING

Power Behind The Program

MIKE GERBER

Strength & Conditioning Coach

UNLV football’s strength and conditioning program is now under the guidance of veteran coach Mike Gerber. “The goal of the UNLV football strength & conditioning program is to maximize those physical traits that excellence in the sport demands,” Gerber said. “Football is a game of relatively short but extremely intense efforts requiring great power production. Because of this, the core of the program is made up of the Olympic Weightlifting movements. Run speed development and conditioning also follow the dictates of the game’s physical demands. Emphasis is placed especially on initial acceleration because most sprinting in football is relatively short. Conditioning is made up largely of position-specific movement patterns done in series of all-out effort with the quantity of work similar to a long football drive.” The Ernie Becker Sr. Strength and Conditioning Center’s 8,500square-foot deck features free weights, power racks and Olympian platforms. The 1,200-square-foot second level offers stretching and aerobic areas catered to each sport. The room also features a premium sound system to further enhance the workout experience.

More than 60 weight stations cover the state-of-the-art flooring inside the Ernie Becker Sr. Strength & Conditioning Center.

EQUIPMENT

Rebels Wear Only The Best UNLV’S All-New Bill Ireland Locker Room

114 custom-made player lockers fill the Bill Ireland Locker Room inside the Lied Athletic Complex.

PAUL PUCCIARELLI Director

Now in his 27th year overseeing the equipment department for UNLV, Paul Pucciarelli says he and the school are committed to outfitting players to be both safe and stylish on the football field. “My philosophy behind equipment is that student-athletes have enough problems, that is, they have to compete in the classroom and on the field — worrying about equipment shouldn’t be a problem,” says Pucciarelli, widely known as Pooch. “Our players are lucky because of the system we have set up here. The athletic department and the university provide us a tremendous support group.” The Lied Athletic Complex’s 10,000-square-foot, two-sided equipment room gives all 17 UNLV sports the services of an immense facility designed with the student-athlete in mind. In one of 19 team and staff locker rooms, players and coaches can simply drop off their uniforms at the end of a practice or competition. The next day a clean version will be waiting for pickup in personally assigned lockers located in a wall surrounding the equipment room.

SPORTS MEDICINE

The Finest Care The Marilyn & Si Redd Sports Medicine Complex sprawls over an 8,500square-foot area.

KYLE WILSON Director

Providing the best possible preventative and rehabilitative care, the UNLV football athletic training staff is headed by Director of Athletic Training Kyle Wilson. Made possible by a generous gift of $1.5 million from Marilyn and Si Redd, the Lied Athletic Complex’s athletic training facility incorporates the total scope of sports medicine over an 8,500-square-foot area. Aside from five staff offices, a rehabilitation room houses a dozen pieces of equipment including Cybex stationary bicycles, stair machines and treadmills, all under a natural skylight. The largest area features a dozen tables to offer student-athletes various treatments throughout the day. Taping, padding and bracing all take place in another all-inclusive room. Finally, an aquatic therapy room features three above-ground whirlpools surrounding a 10-feet deep pool for rehabilitative exercises.

O

ne of college football’s largest and most impressive areas of its kind, Bill “Wildcat” Morris Rebel Park has been transformed into an athletic showcase over the past decade. In 2010, a state-of-the-art UBU synthetic surface was installed at a cost of $700,000. The artificial surface was originally installed in 2002 thanks to a $1 million gift from the family of Ernie Becker Sr. A completely new lighting system soon followed. Also, Bruce Bayne of Peccole Nevada and Ernie Becker Jr. helped develop an all-new grand entrance to the park, complete with pine trees, desert rocks and an archway. The palm-tree-lined area includes two full-sized practice fields. Also, Terry Manley of Champion Homes is responsible for the UNLV Football Manley Corner, which welcomes visitors, staff and student-athletes onto campus and into the heart of Rebel Football.

A

dozen UNLV football players were named to the 2010 Academic AllMountain West team, which highlighted another strong year in the classroom by the Rebels. Marking the 12th consecutive season that at least seven UNLV players appeared on the academic team, the total number of honorees was the fourth-most ever recorded by the program (the high mark is 20 set in 2008.) In fact, academic advising for football, which boasts multiple full-time advisors, has helped produce 140 such honorees since the school joined the Mountain West in 1999. One player – OL Matt Murphy – ended his college career as a rare four-time conference academic honoree while two other veterans – WR Tate Knutson and LB Beau Orth – picked up their third such honor. In addition, six Rebel gridders earned spots on the UNLV Dean’s List during 2010-11. In 2009, the program placed a player on the CoSIDA Academic All-District First Team for unprecedented third consecutive season. Flair

IN THE COMMUNITY

U

Rebels For A Cause

NLV and its student-athletes are committed to success both on and off the fields of play. Rebel players have the opportunity to become more involved members of the Southern Nevada community. Through interaction with charitable organizations, local schools, hospitals and various youth events, the Rebels have become increasingly positive role models. Each year, the athletics department’s effort in Nevada Reading Week translates into dozens of area schools being visited by nearly a 100 athletes, coaches and staff. Other programs the Rebels have recently taken part in include holiday food drives, Child Haven’s holiday party, Communities in Schools, the Santa Clothes program, KLUC Toy Drive, Opportunity Village’s Santa Run and Joy Prom.

UNLV BOASTS FOUR COMMUNITY SERVICE ALL-AMERICANS SINCE 2002 UNLV wide receiver Casey Flair was one of only 11 players in the nation named to the 2007 American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Division I-A Good Works Team. The Alaska native became the fourth Rebel in six years selected to the prestigious collection of student-athletes that has been honored for its performance off the field since 1991. Former UNLV lineman Tony Terrell (Lawndale, CA) was the program’s first-ever honoree in 2002 and two-time All-American safety Jamaal Brimmer (Las Vegas) earned the nod in 2004. Las Vegas native Leon Moore was honored in 2005. Nominated by their school’s sports information directors and voted on by an AFCA committee, successful candidates must be heavily involved in working for charity and/or service to their community.

UNLV PRO DAY

The UNLV Pro Day takes place on campus each spring. For the 2010 edition, no less than 19 scouts from 16 different NFL teams were on hand. Taking part in all or some of the timed or measured events were a dozen Rebels who just completed their college careers and five of those players earned a spot in an NFL camp. This followed three UNLV 2009 seniors (wide receiver Ryan Wolfe, offensive lineman Joe Hawley and linebacker Jason Beauchamp) being invited to participate in the 2010 NFL Scouting Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

UNLV has recently developed the Rebel Football Lettermen Alumni Program, which is designed to get former players back on campus and more involved with their alma mater. All football lettermen are invited to attend a special spring practice social mixer each April and then each fall attend an exclusive tailgate dinner before taking part in on-field pre-game festivities at the annual Homecoming game.

Also radio voice of the Runnin’ Rebel men’s basketball program since 2004, he is an honors graduate of Stanford University and the University of Virginia School of Law. Sandler practiced corporate law in Palo Alto, Calif., before becoming the play-by-play voice of the Salinas Spurs baseball team in the California League. He was hired as the play-by-play broadcaster for the Triple-A Las Vegas Stars prior to the 1993 season. Sandler also handled radio and television broadcast duties for the Las Vegas Thunder of the International Hockey League and served as the Director of Marketing, Broadcasting and Public Relations for the Stars and the Thunder.

Radio Game Analyst

Las Vegas native and former NFL star Mike Pritchard joined the UNLV broadcast team in 2006 as radio analyst for Rebel football. After a stellar career as a running back at Las Vegas’ Rancho High School, Pritchard went on to the University of Colorado (1987-90) where he would become the second-leading receiver in school history with 1,241 yards.

NATIONAL EXPOSURE

Since 2000, UNLV football has made appearances on CBS SN, VERSUS, The Mtn., ABC, TBS, Fox Sports West & Fox Sports Arizona, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN+Plus, ESPN3, Big East Network and SportsWest. A new era began in the fall of 2006 as what is now known as the CBS Sports Network became the official television partner for the Mountain West, which forged a potential 14-year agreement that gave the fastest-growing independent cable network exclusive rights to football and men’s basketball, plus coverage for all other league sports. The multi-media partnership also includes The Mtn., the firstever sports network dedicated solely to an intercollegiate athletic conference.

UNLV, which has had 109 games televised in Las Vegas since 1999, opened on national television for five straight seasons in 2001-05.

MOUNTAIN WEST THIS IS THE MOUNTAIN WEST

The Mountain West was conceived on May 26, 1998, when the presidents of eight institutions — Air Force, BYU, Colorado State, New Mexico, San Diego State, UNLV, Utah and Wyoming — decided to form a new NCAA Division FBS intercollegiate athletic conference. The split from a former 16-team conference re-established continuity and stability among the membership within the new league and signaled the continuation of its tradition-rich, long-standing athletic rivalries. Three of the MW’s eight original members have been conference rivals since the 1960s (New Mexico, Wyoming and Colorado State), while San Diego State (1978) and Air Force (1980) were longtime members as well. UNLV and TCU entered the fold in 1996 and the Rebels continued as one of the original eight institutions that formed the MW in 1999. TCU re-joined the group with its first year of competition in the Mountain West in 2005-06. Effective July 1, 2011, Boise State became the newest member. Fresno State and Nevada, Reno will join the Mountain West effective July 1, 2012. Also on July 1, 2012, Hawai‘i will become a football-only member of the conference. From its inception in 1999, the Mountain West has been committed to excellence in intercollegiate athletics, while promoting the academic missions of its member institutions. Progressive in its approach, the MW continues to cultivate opportunities for student-athletes to compete at the highest level, while fostering academic achievement and sportsmanship. The Colorado Springs-based league is noted for its geographic diversity. Some of the most beautiful terrain and landscapes in the nation can be found within Mountain West boundaries, including the majestic Rocky Mountain range, which borders three MW institutions (Air Force, newest member Boise State and Colorado State). The high plains of Wyoming (elevation 7,220 feet – the highest Division I campus in the nation) contrast with the desert city of Las Vegas (the fastest growing metropolitan area in the West) and the Pacific Ocean locale of San Diego State. The southwestern flavor of New Mexico complements the western heritage and culture of Fort Worth, Texas, home of TCU. Mountain West members have participated in 46 bowl games under the league umbrella, including four appearances in BCS games. The MW has earned 55 postseason bids in men’s basketball, including 29 NCAA Tournament appearances and two NIT Final Four berths. MW women’s basketball has tallied 55 postseason slots, including 30 NCAA bids, five Sweet 16 appearances and one Elite Eight berth since 2000. The MW has produced 708 All-America selections among its 19 sponsored sports in the last 12 years, including a league-record 80 All-America honorees in 2010-11.

MW 2010 FOOTBALL YEAR IN REVIEW

For the third consecutive year, the MW sent a record five football teams to bowl games, posting the best win percentage among the 11 FBS conferences for the fourth time in seven years. The Mountain West finished with a 4-1 (.800) mark in postseason play and claimed the 2010-11 Bowl Challenge Cup, becoming the only conference to win the trophy four times since the award’s inception in 2002-03. Two MW teams were ranked in the final BCS Standings and USA Today/ESPN Coaches polls for the third straight year. TCU’s No. 3 BCS ranking marked the highest finish by a nonautomatic-qualifying team in the final BCS Standings, surpassing the Horned Frogs’ No. 4 ranking in 2009. The Horned Frogs’ automatic bid to the Rose Bowl marked the MW’s fourth BCS bowl game since 2004. The Moountain West set a record for attendance with 1.86 million fans coming to football games in the 2010 season. With San Diego State’s Stephen Strasburg becoming the top pick in the 2009 MLB Draft, the Mountain West is one of only two conferences to have the No. 1 selection in each of the NFL, NBA and MLB drafts since the league’s founding in 1999.

Craig Thompson was the Mountain West’s first employee when he was named Commissioner on Oct. 15, 1998. Ever since, Thompson has navigated the newest NCAA Division I conference through the ever-changing landscape of intercollegiate athletics. As the league enters its 13th season of competition in 2011-12, Thompson continues to create and improve the opportunities for Mountain West institutions and student-athletes to be successful both academically and athletically. Since the Mountain West opened its doors on January 4, 1999, Thompson has been committed to excellence in intercollegiate athletics, while promoting the academic missions of its member institutions. Progressive in its approach, the MW has flourished under the guidance of Commissioner Thompson and continues to cultivate opportunities for studentathletes to compete at the highest level, while fostering academic achievement and sportsmanship. Thompson also has positioned the Mountain West for the future with the additions of Boise State University on July 1, 2011, and California State University, Fresno and the University of Nevada, Reno on July 1, 2012. The University of Hawai`i will join the league as a football-only member beginning July 1, 2012. His leadership and vision have helped the conference enhance its television revenue and exposure through revolutionary agreements with CBS Sports Network and Comcast to become the first major collegiate athletic conference to launch a dedicated sports channel featuring exclusive programming around its athletic programs. Thompson has been instrumental in strengthening the position of the Mountain West in the current Bowl Championship Series (BCS) structure. In 2006, he spearheaded an effort that resulted in better access for the MW and more than doubled the annual BCS revenue on an annual basis for non-automatic-qualifying conferences. The MW has been steadfast in its efforts to find a way to make the BCS system fair for all universities. Through its first 12 years of competition, the Mountain West has participated in 46 bowl games. The MW claimed the 2010 Bowl Challenge Cup after sending five teams into postseason action and finishing with a 4-1 (.800) mark. It was the fourth time in seven years the MW posted the best win percentage among the 11 FBS conferences. Prior to his current role, Thompson served as the commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference for nearly eight years and as the only commissioner of the American South Conference before a merger of the two leagues in 1991. Thompson graduated from the University of Minnesota with an undergraduate degree in journalism. He and his wife, Carla, have a son (Ted) and a daughter (Emma).

BOWL CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES

The games participating in the Bowl Championship Series are the Fiesta Bowl, Orange Bowl, Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl. In addition, the BCS National Championship Game will be played at one of the bowl sites. The sixth title game under the new format will be played Jan. 9, 2012, at the Superdome in New Orleans. The Sugar Bowl will be played in the same stadium six days earlier. Any Bowl Subdivison team is eligible for at-large consideration. Automatic BCS qualifiers are: No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the final BCS standings; champions of the Big East, Big Ten, SEC, Pac-10, Big 12 and ACC; Notre Dame (if it finishes in the top eight) and a non-automatic qualifying BCS team that finishes in the top 14, or in the top 16 if it is ahead of a BCS champion. The Mountain West is 3-1 in BCS games after last year’s Rose Bowl victory by TCU over Wisconsin. 2012 BCS SCHEDULE January 2 – Rose Bowl January 3 – Sugar Bowl January 4 – Orange Bowl January 5 – Fiesta Bowl January 9 – BCS National Championship Game The Mountain West will look to participate in a BCS game for the fourth consecutive season in 2011.

MOUNTAIN WEST BEST IN THE BOWLS (AGAIN)

For the second straight season and fourth time in seven years, the Mountain West in 2010-11 posted the best win percentage among the 11 conferences that make up the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision. The Mountain West claimed the Bowl Challenge Cup after sending five teams into postseason action and finishing with a 4-1 (.800) mark. The Bowl Challenge Cup was created by ESPN in 2002 as a competition among the conferences in the FBS during the college bowl season. In order to win the trophy, a conference must have the highest win percentage with a minimum of three teams participating in the postseason. The Mountain West earned its first Bowl Challenge Cup after registering a 2-1 record in bowl competition during the 2004-05 season. The MWC, which also won the Cup in 2007-08 and in 2009-10 with identical 4-1 marks, is the only conference to win the trophy in consecutive postseasons. It is also the only league to capture the trophy more than twice since the award’s inception. Since the league formed in 1999, the MW has earned 46 bowl bids and holds a 29-17 all-time record in those games, including an 11-3 mark against BCS automatic-qualifying conferences since 2004. The MW holds an overall record of 13-7 against opponents from BCS AQ leagues in bowl games, including wins over the Pac-10 (six), SEC (two), ACC (two), Big Ten (one), Big 12 (one) and Big East (one). Over the past seven seasons (including 2010), the MWC owns the best win percentage in bowl games among the 11 conferences with a 22-9 mark (.710).

SAM BOYD STADIUM

S

tanding as one of the top college football facilities in all the West is UNLV’s versatile venue Sam Boyd Stadium. Undergoing a complete facelift and renovation during 1999, Sam Boyd expanded to its present capacity of 36,800 (with the ability to seat more than 40,000 when called for). Located in Las Vegags approximately seven miles from both the UNLV campus and McCarran International Airport, Sam Boyd Stadium successfully combines the excitement of a college football stadium and the versatility of an entertainment arena. The Rebel football team has posted a 135-106-3 record in 39-plus seasons playing there, including in front of a record three sellout crowds in 2007. SBS marked its 25th anniversary in 1996 by hosting the state’s thenlargest-ever sporting crowd on Sept. 14 when 41,091 fans witnessed UNLV take on Wisconsin. That total was surpassed just three months later when 41,238 saw BYU get past Wyoming in the first WAC Championship game. That record was re-written once more when 42,075 fans saw the Badgers return to face the Rebels on Aug. 31, 2002. The 2006 Las Vegas Bowl ultimately upped the record to 44,615 in a game between BYU and Oregon. The stadium has hosted some of the greatest talents in sports and show business. Future NFL quarterbacks Randall Cunningham, Jim McMahon, Drew Bledsoe, Carson Palmer, Andre Ware, Alex Smith, John Beck and Andy Dalton are among those who have played at Sam Boyd Stadium along with events involving athletes such as soccer legend Pele and motor sports stars. Additionally, the stadium has hosted world-class concerts by such musical acts as the Dave Matthews Band, the Eagles, U2, Paul McCartney, Wayne Newton, and the once-annual summer appearances by the Grateful Dead. A mecca for football played on all levels, the stadium is currently site of the MAACO Bowl Las Vegas each December, including six consecutive sold-out crowds, after serving as home to three Western Athletic Conference championship games from 1996-98. The facility has served as

24

host to professional football three times, including currently housing the two-time United Football League champion Las Vegas Locomotives, who debuted in 2009. The Las Vegas Outlaws of the XFL made it their home in 2001; and the Las Vegas Posse, a Canadian Football League franchise, played one season in 1994. SBS also hosts high school games and has been site of the state’s prep championship. The venue also hosted two other college football events: the Silver Dollar Classic, which featured teams from historically black universities, and the Las Vegas All-American Classic all-star game from 2003-05. Originally named Las Vegas Stadium when it was built in 1971 at a cost of $3.5 million, the facility was re-named the Las Vegas Silver Bowl in 1978 and then known as the Sam Boyd Silver Bowl in honor of local gaming pioneer Sam Boyd beginning in 1984. Its name was officially shortened to Sam Boyd Stadium in April 1994. The first event held in the then15,000-seat stadium was a UNLV football game against Weber State on Oct. 23, 1971, won by the visiting Wildcats, 30-17. Official dedication ceremonies, however, took place the next season on Sept. 9, 1972, at halftime of a 35-28 loss to Western Illinois before 8,800 fans. SBS, which has always retained its horseshoe shape, underwent an expansion to 32,000 seats in 1978 and again enjoyed improvements in 1994. The Rebel Experience area outside the stadium opened in 1997. One of the highlights of the most recent renovation was the replacement of the so-called “Magic Carpet” retractable artificial turf that had been in place since 1985. Originally fitted with traditional AstroTurf, Sam Boyd was the first stadium in the world to install a Monsanto Corp. outdoor retractable turf, which helped give the facility its multi-purpose capability. The surface, which simply rolled up into cylinders in less than an hour, was installed at a cost of $1.2 million in part through a grant by the Sam Boyd family. Natural grass replaced the artificial turf from 1999-2002 before a synthetic surface, made by TurfTech, was installed in time for the 2003 season.

REBEL GAMEDAY

UNLV CHEERLEADERS & DANCE TEAM

Two of the nation’s best-known spirit squads, the UNLV Cheerleaders and the UNLV Dance Team (Rebel Girls) are fixtures at all Rebel football games. The teams perform at various UNLV athletic events and volunteer their time to appear at various events throughout the Las Vegas community. The Cheer & Dance Teams also devote time to instructing the UNLV Rebel Starzz – a group of young dancers ages 3-16 that performs at games each fall.

THE REBEL EXPERIENCE

Premiering at Sam Boyd Stadium in 1997 was the Rebel Experience. Situated in the northwest parking lot, the 64,000-square-foot-area is predominantly grass and includes six 30x60foot cement pads that can be reserved for large gatherings and corporate outings. UNLV FIGHT SONG

“WIN WITH THE REBELS” Win with the Rebels a victory today! Win with the Rebels, the Scarlet and Gray. From mountains that surround you to far across the sea. We’ll win with the Rebels of UNLV. U-N-L-V UNLV Go, Fight, Win. We’ll win with the Rebels of UNLV.

THE STAR OF NEVADA MARCHING BAND

Numbering more than 100 strong, the Star of Nevada Marching Band, which began in its present form in 1978, is a big part of Rebel Football Gameday. Whether it’s pumping up the crowds at the Rebel Experience or entertaining fans at halftime, home Saturdays at Sam Boyd Stadium would not be the same without strains of “Win with the Rebels” peppering the autumn air. Directed by Tony LaBounty, the UNLV band is announced by Dr. Harvey Allen who in 2011 goes into his 33rd season as the voice of the Star of Nevada Marching Band. UNLV ALMA MATER

Alma Mater, we praise you For spirit, the eternal flame, Strength which never falters, A tribute to your name Alma Mater, we thank you, Exalted Scarlet and Gray. Truth and wisdom from your standard In our minds and hearts will stay Alma Mater, we cherish you. And in our days that are yet to be, Our voices let us ever raise In honor, U-N-L-V.


REBEL GAMEDAY VOICE OF THE REBELS DICK CALVERT

THE FREMONT CANNON Trophy Helps Illustrate Importance of State Rivalry

Not simply a traveling trophy for the winner of the UNLV vs. Nevada, Reno game, the Fremont Cannon is ever-present at the now-annual Battle for Nevada. The tradition of awarding the cannon to the victors started four decades ago when the Rebels’ first football coach, Bill Ireland, felt the young rivalry between the north and south schools could use a symbolic trophy to stimulate interest. The prize turned out to be a replica of the howitzer used by John C. Fremont, one of America’s foremost trailblazers, as he headed west into Nevada in 1843. Legend has it that Fremont violated U.S. War Department rules by taking the cannon with him on his westward trek without permission and then abandoned the weapon in a SierraNevada snowdrift. Built by the Kennecott Copper Corp., Nevada Mines Division, the cannon was originally valued at more than $10,000 and is considered one of the best, and loudest, symbols of rivalry in college football. The Fremont is one of only two cannon prizes in all rivalry games, along with Illinois vs. Purdue. The Wolf Pack held the cannon first because they had beaten the Rebels 30-28 in the initial game of the series on Thanksgiving Day 1969. UNLV promptly won rights to the big gun in 1970 with a 42-30 home win and went on to dominate the series with eight wins in the next 11 games played. After UNR rebounded to win five straight games (1989-1993), UNLV regained the cannon in its Silver Anniversary Year in 1994. Last year’s UNR win put the Wolf Pack ahead 21-15 in the series, which has been continuous since 1987. The teams will meet in Reno on Oct. 8, 2011, to again decide who gets to keep the fabled cannon.

A familiar sound to UNLV fans of all ages, Dick Calvert, the “Voice of the Rebels,” is in his fifth decade as the game announcer for UNLV Athletics. Calvert, who calls UNLV football, basketball, men’s & women’s soccer, baseball games and other events at Sam Boyd Stadium, Thomas & Mack Center, Cox Pavilion, Peter Johann Memorial Field, and Earl E. Wilson Stadium, has also served as the game announcer of the MWC basketball tournament, the Las Vegas Bowl and the NBA Vegas Summer League. Additionally, the longtime university staffer, works many MWC Championships hosted by UNLV and is the official starter for a number of university and NCAA golf tournaments. Calvert annually works over 100 local events. He was inducted into the Southern Nevada Sports Hall of Fame in June 2010. The former play-by-play broadcaster is also one of the most experienced commentators of American professional soccer, having served 18 seasons in both the North American and Major Soccer leagues. The Las Vegas resident retired from broadcasting and the UNLV Athletics Department after serving as the director of broadcasting, director of athletic marketing for Olympic sports and director of athletic facilities/operations. Calvert and his wife Anne have four adult children and are the proud grandparents of 10.

HEY REB

Embodying the Rebel spirit of the University he promotes, UNLV’s Hey Reb made his debut in 1983 and received a makeover in 1997. Named one of 12 All-American Mascots, he competed for the title of 2004 Capital One Mascot of the Year and made a strong showing by coming in second in online voting. No stranger to national television, however, Hey Reb also appeared in two memorable ESPN SportsCenter commercials.

REBEL HISTORY

O

pened as a satellite campus in 1957, the southern regional division of the University of Nevada became Nevada Southern University in 1965 and finally evolved into University of Nevada, Las Vegas four years later when the Board of Regents granted it autonomy under the state’s higher education system. Men’s basketball was the first sport organized at UNLV, opening play in 1958 under head coach and athletic director Michael “Chub” Drakulich. Baseball, also coached by Drakulich, started in 1960 and football came to campus nearly a decade later when head coach Bill Ireland’s squad went 8-1 in 1968. Women’s club sports such as tennis emerged in 1960 under administrator Alice Mason but basketball became the first women’s varsity sport in 1974. UNLV currently sponsors seven men’s and 10 women’s athletic programs.

NICKNAME

The nickname “Rebels” was given to UNLV athletic teams because the school, emerging from the shadow of the University of Nevada, Reno, in effect “rebelled” against its bigger and older brother to the north. The name “Runnin’ Rebels” (always spelled without a ‘g’) was coined in 1974 by then-sports information director Dominic Clark but refers only to the UNLV men’s basketball team.

COLORS

The school colors of Scarlet and Gray can be traced to the late1950s when UNLV adopted as mascot a wolf wearing a Confederate uniform. Scarlet and Gray were traditional colors of the Confederacy with its gray uniforms and red-based flag.

MASCOT

Today it’s Hey Reb but some at UNLV still remember the first official Rebel mascot — Beauregard. Dressed in a gray military field jacket and Confederate cap, Beau is a fanged, winking, black and white cartoon wolf. He came to be because the new school in Southern Nevada wanted to take a little jab at the Wolf Pack mascot of Nevada, Reno. “UNLV was rebelling against the status quo and the two schools’ mascots seemed to mimic the Civil War,” said former UNLV president, the late, Don Baepler, who later directed the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Natural

History on campus. “Reno had a northern looking wolf so we wanted a Confederate wolf.” The logo lasted until the early 1970s when a group of black athletes came to Baepler, who was academic vice president at the time, and voiced its displeasure with having a mascot that had a connection with the wrong side of the Civil War. “They said it didn’t feel right playing for a school with such a mascot...and I agreed,” said Baepler. “Southern Nevada has no real ties to the Confederacy so the change wasn’t a big concern.” The student senate voted on a new mascot and the human Rebel logo was born. Initially, a Colonial-like Rebel soldier was the official logo and there was talk at one time of changing UNLV’s nickname to Minutemen. Essentially there was no recognized UNLV mascot for about a half-decade spilling into the early 1980s. Enter Mike Miller, the award-winning local graphic artist who eventually became the creator of the cartoon man with a long moustache known as Hey Reb. Miller said his inspiration for the logo was historical Nevada frontiersmen from the 1800s such as John C. Fremont and Kit Carson. “The character is supposed to be a trailblazer of the old West,” said Miller. “I just sketched out a little mountain man with a long coat that had some fringe on it.” Despite the new Rebel eventually being displayed as having striking white hair on his head and face, Miller said Hey Reb was never supposed to be an old man and put his intended age at around 30 years old. As for the unusual name of the new character, there was no campus contest or high-priced marketing focus group involved. “I just wrote Hey Reb on the back of his coat on one of the many variations I gave them,” he said. “I was hoping it would be a good slogan – a yell-out cheer at games – but it never really caught on.” The mascot, however, did catch on in a big way as UNLV vaulted to the top in college apparel licensing within the decade. In 1997, a more muscular version of Hey Reb, minus a musket, was introduced and a refreshed version was developed in 2006. Beauregard may not be prevalent in today’s UNLV athletic events, but he’s certainly not gone and forgotten. The original sketch of the wolf was converted into a mid-court painting for basketball games played in the old University gymnasium. Today, visitors can visit the black, white, scarlet and gray logo circle in its original position at what is now the Barrick Museum, which still uses the existing oak hardwood basketball floor to hold its exhibits.

THE BELL BOYS

UNLV Football has been a real family affair for Joanne Wilson of Tustin, CA, who sent all three of her sons to play for the Rebels over the past decade. The eldest, linebacker Zach Bell, played for John Robinson from 2001-04 and as a senior lined up on the same defense as fellow-LB Beau Bell, who would go on to a Mountain West Defensive MVP campaign in 2007 before becoming a fourth-round NFL Draft pick by the Cleveland Browns. Little brother, B.J. Bell, went to Santa Ana College out of high school but the 2008 J.C. Gridwire First Team All-American also joined the Rebels in Fall 2009 to play defensive end and ring up another Bell in the Scarlet & Gray. After earning a medical redshirt and then starting all 13 games last season, B.J. will be a senior in 2011.

ON SCHEDULE

A jaw-dropping total of four teams on UNLV’s 2011 schedule finished in the top 11of the final AP poll last season (No. 2 TCU, No. 7 Wisconsin, No. 9 Boise State and No. 11 Nevada, Reno), plus another three that received votes. That means the Rebels, who only host one of those four, could be on their way to earning the unenviable distinction of in back-to-back years playing the most difficult schedule among all schools from Non-Automatic Qualifying conferences. Overall, the 11 FBS teams on the docket this fall combined for a 2010 winning percentage of .610, seven played in bowl games and five reached doubles digits in victories. Nothing new for Bobby Hauck’s Rebels, however, as in 2010 UNLV faced not only one of the toughest schedules in all of college football but the 13-game slate ranked No. 3 for difficulty for any Non-Auto program since the advent of the BCS in 1998. The Rebels’ gauntlet finished 19th in the Sagarin Ratings Index, which was 26 spots higher than the next-toughest schedule for a Non-AQ league member (Colorado State at 45). In comparison, the highest Non-AQ schedule in 2009 was ranked 55 (UNM). Research shows that the only two Non-AQ teams to face a tougher schedule were the BYU squads of 2003 (14th-toughest schedule) and 2004 (11th toughest). UNLV’s previous highest schedule strength ranking was 42 in 1998, which also led all Non-AQ schools that season.

BATTLE BORN

Head Coach Bobby Hauck began a new tradition at UNLV in 2010 with the introduction of the “Battle Born Jersey No. 36.” In 1864, Nevada became the 36th state to enter the union, and its official slogan, which appears on the flag, is “Battle Born,” reflecting the state’s entry on the Union side during the American Civil War. Rebel Football Jersey No. 36 -- complete with a patch of the state flag on the back, will be worn by a Nevadan who best exemplifies the Battle Born spirit of his state and the toughness and pride of Rebel Football. The inaugural recipient was senior linebacker Ronnie Paulo. In 2011, another senior LB from Las Vegas takes over the honored number as Nate Carter switched from his usual 55 during spring. Carter will then help choose the 2012 honoree.

REBELATIONS...

SALDI STAYS WITH REBELS

He may not be on the playing field but UNLV’s Bryce Saldi is still a part of Rebel Football during what would have been the linebacker’s senior season. Saldi continues to recover from a serious brain injury suffered during a skateboarding accident on July 3, 2009. A graduate of Texas prep powerhouse Southlake Carroll High School, he lettered for UNLV as a redshirt freshman in 2008 by playing in all 12 games, primarily on special teams. The son of former Dallas Cowboys tight end Jay Saldi was on vacation in Southern California at the time of the accident and remained hospitalized there for nearly two months. While Bryce is now at home in Texas, Saldi’s Rebel locker inside the Lied Athletic Complex on campus remains his and you can still find his No. 54 on all active rosters until after what would have been his final game this fall. Updates on Bryce are available through the Caring Bridge website at the following link: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/Brycesaldi/guestbook

With UNLV’s season-opening game at Wisconsin moving to a Thursday (Sept. 1), the Rebels will play their 13th Thursday game in history. The program boasts an 8-4 record on Thursdays (including one bowl game) and an impressive overall non-Saturday record of 14-7-1 ... Youth will be served again by UNLV this fall as the Rebels last year tied for seventh overall in the FBS with 23 true and redshirt freshmen having seen action for Bobby Hauck in 2010, including six that started at least one game. The program also tied for fifth in the country for most true freshmen getting on the field with 14. In fact, there are nearly three times as many returning lettermen sophomores (26) than juniors (nine) for the Scarlet & Gray in 2011 ... Four of those new Rebel players earned a spot on the Rivals.com Freshman All-MWC Team in 2010 -- and all of them were true freshmen: CB Sidney Hodge, DE Ian Bobak, PK Nolan Kohorst and KOR Marcus Sullivan ... Sullivan finished second in the league and ranked 17th in the nation in kickoff return average at 27.9. The Las Vegas native had the most kick returns among anyone in the NCAA FBS top 20 in average with 35 attempts and shattered the UNLV record for kickoff return yards in a game with 224 (former record was 185 by teammate Deante’ Purvis set in 2009) vs. San Diego State on Nov. 27 ... Another UNLV true freshman, RB Tim Cornett, became the first freshman to ever lead the Rebels in rushing in a season after he took over as the starter in Week Six and went on to net 546 yards on 144 carries. The big Texan finished with eight touchdowns on the year (six rushing and two receiving), which tied the UNLV freshman record for a season (WR Lenny Ware with eight in 1996) ... A school-record-tying 18 different Rebels recorded at least one reception in 2010 and only three of those 18 are not returning this fall. That means despite guaranteeing a new starting quarterback, UNLV will enjoy players accounting for 90 percent of the team’s receptions (171 out of 191), 92 percent of the yards (2,040 of the 2,222) and 94 percent of the touchdowns through the air (17 of 18) remaining on the roster ... Cornerback Will Chandler tied for the MWC lead in interceptions as a junior in 2010 with five and stood among the national FBS leaders with seven total takeaways. The California product matched what the entire Rebel defense mustered in 2009 as five different players recorded one pick each that fall ... The second year of the Hauck era brings only one new face to the coaching staff as veteran mentor Robin Ross took over as linebackers coach just before spring practice opened. He replaced Brent Guy, who left to become defensive coordinator at Tulsa.

ON TO THE UP AND UP

Eight FBS programs are located in cities with an elevation of at least 4,500 feet above sea level and the Rebels will play at six of them in the next two years, including four this season. Las Vegas is just over 2,000 feet above sea level.

econd-year UNLV head coach Bobby Hauck was quoted during spring practice as saying youth will be served (again) this season. In fact, a quick check of his team’s class breakdown confirms that 2011 will offer a Las Vegas-level buffet of freshmen and sophomores at Sam Boyd Stadium. Looking for more upperclassmen? Sorry, we’re running low. After ranking fifth in the nation last year with 14 true freshmen played (and 23 freshmen overall), UNLV will field a senior class of 13 scholarship seniors (including a grand total of ZERO along the offensive line) and just seven – that’s right, seven – returning scholarship juniors. Those stark numbers were the primary reason Hauck’s second recruiting class here jumped from one junior-college signee to eight such transfers in February. “We may be the youngest team in college football this year,” says Hauck. “I can’t imagine anyone being more youthful. We’re young across the board.” Asked about what he learned about the 2-11 campaign of last year, Hauck is blunt but hopeful. “We need to improve. We need to continue to be persistent and work hard at improving as a football team. We have a chance to be a good football team eventually. We will continue building this team the right way – recruiting primarily high school kids, becoming good fundamentally, working hard at everything we do. I know that persistence will pay off here.”

HAUCK

THE OFFENSE

with just six picks as a sophomore at Saddleback College and joined the Rebels at midyear. Hitting town this fall will be one of Hauck’s top signees to date, nice-sized Nick Sherry (6-5, 220, FR-HS) out of California’s Casa Grande High School. The highly productive thrower was ranked the No. 86 quarterback prospect in the nation by Scouts Inc. Herring exited spring ball leading Reilly and Barnhill but Hauck says there is no timetable for naming the team’s starter against Wisconsin.

Transitioning away from Mike Sanford’s former purely spread offense, the 2010 Rebels finished with an average of just 274.2 yards per game. Playing the toughest schedule in school history had a lot to do with that, of course, as UNLV had little trouble scoring more than 40 points in both of its victories last fall. With a deeper quarterback position and load of talented running backs at the staff’s disposal in year two, expect tangible progress this season. “I like the work we did this spring,” Hauck says. “We’re extremely excited about our young players at every position – from the line through the quarterbacks. With the youth on that side of the ball – the variable is time – but we have a chance to have a very productive offense.”

HAUCK SAYS: “I like the competition we have going. We are going to be youthful at the position, which can lead to some frustration at times but the talent level at the position with the addition of Sean Reilly and Nick Sherry gives us some options as well as a chance to be really deep in terms of quality. Caleb’s ahead right now but that should be expected as he has had a year in the system. We’ll give the guys a chance to compete for it in fall camp and we’ll see where it goes. The door is not closed. When we think it’s productive to name a starter, we will. “Caleb is going to continue to strive to be consistent day-in and day-out. He has a good chance to be a really solid player. Certainly he has a huge advantage having played in this system for a year. He did some good things. We tried to get him in whenever we had plays available for him last fall and we hope that will pay dividends down the road. Taylor is a young, inexperienced player. He has good athletic ability but is still learning the nuances of the position and it will be fun to watch him develop. It’s hard to tell right now with Sean because he’s only had 15 spring practices to gauge where he is. As he becomes less hesitant and more comfortable in the system, it will lead us to having a great competition in the fall. We’ll give Nick a look and then make a determination on whether it will be more productive for him to play or redshirt. You ideally want to redshirt all of your freshmen.”

QUARTERBACKS

The bad news is that UNLV has to replace the man who played more games at this position (Omar Clayton with 40) than anyone in school history. The good news is that there are four men ready to combine into perhaps one of the strongest quarterback corps in Rebel history. The only returning letterman under center is Caleb Herring (6-3, 190, SO-1L), a third-year player who got into his first eight games last season while spelling Clayton. After a redshirt year, he certainly showed flashes of what made him a highly touted recruit out of high school, throwing touchdown passes in four hostile environments (inside at Idaho, at West Virginia, at BYU and at Hawaii) en route to finishing with 365 yards and HERRING three interceptions. With just one other quarterback on the roster – promising redshirt freshman Taylor Barnhill (6-4, 220, FR-RS) – Hauck decided to sign the school’s first junior-college signal caller since 2005 in the form of Sean Reilly (6-4, 210, JR-TR). Reilly threw for 2,425 yards and 26 touchdowns

RUNNING BACKS

UNLV lost only one running back (graduating senior Channing Trotter) and brings back three that netted at least 100 yards in 2010. Leading the way is hard-nosed Texan Tim Cornett (6-0, 190, SO-1L), who took over the starting job in midseason and promptly became the first freshman in school history to lead the team in rushing yards with 546. His eight total touchdowns (six on the ground) also tied UNLV’s single-season record for a rookie. Pushing him on the depth chart is grayshirt addition Dionza Bradford (6-0, 210, FR-HS) who displayed tremendous potential during spring practice and should be in the mix for starting duties as a true freshman this fall. Another big addition to the group was one of three midyear JC signees who took part in spring ball – Eric Johnson (5-7, 170, JR-TR). One of four new Rebels out of College of the Sequoias, the scat-back is able to line up at various spots and is listed on the post-spring depth chart at a receiver spot. The old man of the group is senior speedster Deante’ Purvis (5-11, 195, SR-3L), who picked up 223 yards after converting from cornerback during the year to add some burst to the ground attack. The high-motored Bradley Randle (5-7, 195, SO-1L; 109 yards, 1 TD) is also back along with Imari Thompson (5-9, 205, SO-1L), who missed all of last year with a foot injury. High school star/bulldozer in a helmet Elijhaa Penny (6-2, 245, FR-HS) could add another dimension come autumn. The H-back position sports a couple of versatile veterans in returning starter Kyle Watkins (6-2, 245, SR-2L; 8 receptions for 110 yards, 1 TD) and recently converted receiver Aaron Reed (6-4, 220, JR-1L; 1-14). HAUCK SAYS: “We have a lot of youth at running back -- our top players are freshmen and sophomores, except for Deante’ Purvis. But the position has the potential to be a real strength for us.”

WIDE RECEIVERS

A school-record-tying 18 different Rebels hauled in at least one reception in 2010 and only three of those players are not scheduled to return this fall. That translates into 90 percent of the team’s receptions (171 out of 191), 92 percent of the yards (2,040 of the 2,222) and 94 percent of the touchdowns through the air (17 of 18) remaining on the roster. The group is led by UNLV’s top awards candidate going into the season, senior Phillip Payne (6-3, 205, SR-3L). Despite missing two games because of suspension, the Las Vegas native rallied to finish with 40 receptions for a career-best 689 yards (17.2 yard per catch) to go with five scores. Just five TD catches away from tying UNLV’s all-time record, Payne showed during spring ball that he is now flourishing and seems poised to post receiving statistics that match his considerable talents. Payne’s bookend could be fellow senior Michael Johnson (5-8, 175, SR-3L; 51-571, 5 TD). The speedster led the team in receptions as a junior but was suspended in January for academic reasons and looks to get back on the depth chart this fall. Picking up the slack during spring practice was local product Marcus Sullivan (5-9, 185, SO-1L; 6-102, 2 TD) and versatile JC signee Eric Johnson, who also lines up in the backfield. Another former Las Vegas prep star, Taylor Spencer (6-1, 190, FR-RS) is now a factor on offense after redshirting as a defensive back in 2010. PAYNE A pair of pass-catching Texans are back this season in the form of Mark Barefield (6-0, 195, SO-1L; 2-24), who earned an injury medical redshirt last fall, and nicesized sophomore Kurt Davis (6-5, 195, SO-1L; 3-37). Also picking up playing time last season were Trey Mays (5-10, 160, JR-1L; 6-82) and Irshad Stolden (5-9, 150, SO-1L; 3-19, 1 TD). HAUCK SAYS: “We’ll need some of the young players to come along. The position is wide open and we expect some new players to step forward and come through for us. That being said, Phillip Payne coming back for his senior season is a good start. He’s had a strong off-season, working hard in the weight room, working hard on his skills on the field. He’s doing a really nice job trying to improve and he deserves to have a big senior season.”

CORNETT

OFFENSIVE LINEMEN

Only one starter returns at a position where, remarkably, not a single senior returns. Yusef Rodgers (6-2, 250, JR-2L) leads the tackle spots and is listed as the starter on the right side while promising youngster Cameron Jefferson (6-6, 265, FR-RS) closed spring practice leading on the left. Shane Watterson (6-4, 290, SO-1L) and Brett Boyko (6-7, 295, FR-RS), the latter of whom missed spring recovering from shoulder surgery, are two more blockers in the conversation. The guards have more experience as Doug Zismann (6-2, 290, JR-2L) and Jason Heath (6-3, 280, JR-2L) are listed as the leaders on the left side while Sean Tesoro (6-2, 310, SO-1L) mans the right ahead of Jason Koontz (6-2, 310, JR-2L). Some immediate help is on the way as one of UNLV’s eight RODGERS JC signees is former University of Washington blocker Allen Carroll (6-4 300 JRTR), who comes over from College of the Sequoias this fall. At center, redshirt Robert Waterman (6-2, 275, FR-RS) is the leader heading into fall after veteran Andrew Mack left the program during the summer. HAUCK SAYS: “We’ve got a ways to go on the O-line. I like our potential but in order for us to have success on offense they need to realize it quickly. It will be highly competitive for playing time.”

THE DEFENSE

TIGHT ENDS

Expect plenty of newcomers vying for time here (three of 13 UNLV high school signees in 2011 were listed as tight ends) but a pair of veteran returnees gives the Rebels a solid base for the fall. Anthony Vidal (6-5, 250, SR-1L; 14-107, 1 TD) emerged as starter midway through the season while Austin Harrington (6-4, 235, SR-2L; 16-163) started the first half of the campaign and made an impression by leading all Rebels in HARRINGTON receptions in three different games. Look for impressively sized redshirt Jordan Sparkman (6-6, 220, FR-RS) to also compete for field time.

VIDAL

HAUCK SAYS: “We have a couple of veteran players and numerous young players who need to get in the mix, including a redshirt. I would expect one or two of those (new) guys to play this year.”

DEFENSIVE LINEMEN

Coaches are again hoping to pump some life into the Rebel pass rush, which produced only 12 QB sacks in 2010. There is some experience on the ends. Senior James Dunlap (6-1, 265, SR-2L) was credited by Hauck as having one of the top spring efforts on the team after totaling 38 tackles last year. Another pair of seniors, B.J. Bell (6-2, 260, SR-1L; 51 TT, 3.5 TFL, 1.5 sacks) and Matt Kravetz (6-1, 255, SR-1L) ended spring leading the way at the other end position. One of the JC midyear additions bolsters this spot as Trent Allmang-Wilder (6-6, 280, JR-TR) spent last year at College of the Desert. No one older than a sophomore is present on the two-deep for the interior linemen. Local product Alex Klorman (6-2, 260, SO-1L; 10 TT) has been a pleasant surprise after walking on and earning a scholarship; Desmond Tautofi (6-3, 300, FR-HS) is an emerging prospect who grayshirted in 2010 and went through his first spring ball; big Nate Holloway (6-3, 350, SO-1L; 15 TT) is expected to be a bigger contributor in his second season; and Tyler Gaston (6-3, 265, SO-1L; 13 TT, 3.0 TFL) was pushed into action as a true freshman and projects to have a bright future. HAUCK SAYS: “The defensive line is a concern. A year ago we were forced to play a lot of freshmen on the front, which makes it difficult to hold up as a defense. We’re hoping that those players continue to mature and improve and become a strength on our team. The three seniors need to play well this fall.”

There are plenty of holes to fill on a defense that allowed 450 yards a game last year. But there is also optimism about this group’s development as the moving parts start to come together. “On the defensive side of the ball, aside from the corner position, there isn’t a lot of experience,” says Hauck. “We need to get better, bigger, faster -- understand the game more. It’s a complete work in progress on defense but I like where we’re headed. We are short-handed in the front seven and need more numbers on that side of the ball. We have been in that predicament for a year and there is no quick fix. We need to continue to recruit defensive players. Adding productive junior college players over there should allow us to begin playing better defense. We will need to continue to improve this defense to be competitive in our league.”

LINEBACKERS

All three starting linebackers from 2010 are history and only one name on the post-spring depth chart had the word senior next to it – this year’s Battle Born Jersey No. 36 honoree Nate Carter (6-1, 235, SR-3L; 35 TT, 1 INT), who heads up the middle spot. Tani Maka (6-1, 240, SO-1L; 34 TT, 2 TFL) leads on the weakside while Tim Hasson (6-2, 195, SO-1L; 19 TT) and converted running back C.J. Cox (5-11, 205, JR-2L) are battling at the strongside position. Perry Cooper (6-3, 225, FR-RS) and William Vea (6-0, 220, FR-RS) are also in the mix. Coaches are looking for highly touted JC signee Princeton Jackson (6-0, 230, JR-TR) to make a big impression right away. HAUCK SAYS: “We’re working on improving our linebacker group top to bottom. I believe we’ve done that through recruiting, position moves and young people gaining some experience last year and becoming better. It’s the position that is probably the biggest question coming out of spring ball. The jobs are open and it’s a spot where we’re looking for more production. We do have a highly recruited junior college player coming in who will need to perform for us.” CARTER

DEFENSIVE BACKS

THE SPECIAL TEAMS

Cornerback is the defensive spot with the most experience as a quartet of quality candidates was listed on the depth chart after spring. Sidney Hodge (5-8, 175, SO-1L; 44 TT, 1.5 TFL) looked like a potential standout after playing in nine games as a true freshman while veteran tackler Quinton Pointer (5-10, 185, SR-3L) is an NFL prospect hoping to be back at full speed after missing last year and this spring with an injury. Will Chandler (5-11, 185, SR-3L; 37 TT, 2.5 TFL) tied for the MW lead with five interceptions to go with two fumble recoveries while youngster Kenneth Penny (5-11, 165, FR-RS) is the new face of the POINTER group after redshirting 2010. The safety position is not as crowded. Eric Tuiloma-Va’a (5-11, 180, SO-1L; 48 TT, 1.5 TFL) is a returning starter and leads the strong spot while Tajh Hasson (6-1, 185, FR-RS) had a good spring at free. Former Air Force transfer Corbin Brown (6-0, 175, JR-TR) and veteran Kenny Brown (5-10, 175, JR-1L; 5 TT) are also part of the picture. HAUCK SAYS: “We have some solid experience at corner and that looks to be a strength for us. At the same time, safety is young and inexperienced. It’s a position where you have to take charge and know how everything works. There is a steep learning curve for young players at that position so we have some work to do.”

Nolan Kohorst (6-1, 170, SO-1L) showed as a freshman why he was the first place-kicker signed by UNLV out of high school in years as he led the team in points after nailing 8 of 11 field-goal attempts and 29 of 30 extra points. Coming in to compete for both punting and kicking duties is JC signee Chase Lansford (6-2, 190, JR-TR) out of Santa Ana College. Receiver Marcus Sullivan was arguably the nation’s top freshman kickoff return man a year ago, finishing 17th in all the FBS with an average of 27.9 yards per attempt. Deante’ Purvis (3 returns for 39 yards) and Tim Cornett (14-333) and Bradley Randle (18-329) are all expected to vie for return duties along with newcomer Eric Johnson. The squad’s long-snapping and holding duties are up for grabs heading into fall. HAUCK SAYS: “Kohorst is back and Lansford will come in and challenge for all three spots (punter, PK and kickoff). I think we have a chance to have a good return game this season. Our kickoff return game was pretty good and the coverage teams were good. We need to get our punt return game going as last year was not up to our standards. We have a chance to be real solid in all of those areas.”

THE SCHEDULE A year ago, UNLV faced one of the most challenging schedules in all of college football (third-toughest for any member of a Non-Automatic Qualifying Conference since the advent of the BCS in 1998 according to Sagarin Ratings Index) and it doesn’t figure to get much easier this fall. In fact, UNLV will play four teams that finished ranked 11th or higher last season and host only five games total at Sam Boyd Stadium. On Thursday, Sept. 1, the Rebels will begin their second season under Hauck by traveling to Wisconsin, which finished No. 7 in the final AP poll after playing in the Rose Bowl. It will mark UNLV’s first trip to storied Camp Randall Stadium since 2004. The Rebels will remain on the road and play at Washington State on Sept. 10 to mark the first meeting with the Pac-12 Conference program in 20 years and the first in Pullman, Wash., since 1986. UNLV’s home opener is set for Sept. 17 when future MW member Hawaii comes to town for what will be the Rebels’ latest Sam Boyd Stadium debut since 2004. That game will be followed up by a Sept. 24 visit from Southern Utah University for the first time since 1970. The Thunderbirds, who are scheduled to join the NCAA FCS Big Sky Conference in 2012, have played the Rebels three times in history (1968-70). For the first time since 2003, UNLV will have two open weeks in its schedule and the first one comes on Oct. 1. One week later, the 37th edition of the now-annual Battle for the Fremont Cannon will be waged when the Rebels head north to play another future MW member, Nevada, Reno on Oct. 8. A trip to Wyoming on Oct. 15 will mark the latest conference opener in school history before the second bye week kicks in on Oct. 22. Colorado State comes to Sam Boyd on Oct. 29 before Boise State (ended No. 9 AP) on Nov. 5 plays the Rebels for the first time since 1977 and against UNLV in Las Vegas for the first time since 1976. Trips to New Mexico on Nov. 12 and then Air Force on Nov. 19 will be followed by the home finale vs. San Diego State on Nov. 26. The regular season ends on Dec. 3 with a visit to defending Rose Bowl champion TCU, which finished ranked second in the nation. HAUCK SAYS: “With seven road games, four games against teams that were ranked No. 11 or higher last year, and two non-conference road games vs. teams from BCS auto-bid conferences, we’ll certainly be tested again every week. The addition of Boise State to an already strong league makes our conference as strong as ever. We had better get to work so we can compete with the teams on this schedule.”

Bobby Hauck, the winningest coach in Division One FCS, was hired as the 10th head coach in Rebel football history on Dec. 23, 2009, and immediately charged with spreading an attitude of success and discipline throughout a program thirsting for prosperity. Hauck (pronounced HOWK) immediately got to work rebuilding the UNLV program and guided his new school through the toughest schedule in its history, including taking on five conference champions and three opponents that finished ranked in the top 11 of the final AP poll. His first Rebel team emerged from that gauntlet with a 2-11 overall record but tied for sixth place in the Mountain West. Hauck had spent the previous seven seasons as the record-setting head coach of the University of Montana where he compiled an overall record of 80-17, including leading the Grizzlies to three national championship games in the NCAA’s Football Championship Subdivision (formerly I-AA). The winningest coach in Big Sky Conference history (both in average victories per year and overall titles), Hauck earned at least a share of the league’s crown all seven years at Montana en route to compiling a record of 47-6. The more-recent numbers were even more impressive as his records over his last four seasons were 51-6 overall and 31-1 in conference play. “It’s my belief that Bobby Hauck is one of the great young coaches in America today” UNLV Athletics Director Jim Livengood said. “His ability to direct a program, his history of success in recruiting and his love for the game of football clearly project him as having an exciting future here at UNLV.” Hauck, 47, was named Big Sky Coach of the Year in 2006, 2007 and 2009 and AFCA Regional FCS Coach of the Year in 2006 and 2009. A veteran of eight bowl games, he also brought with him tremendous experience from stints coaching in both the Pacific-10 and Big 12 conferences.


HEAD COACH BOBBY HAUCK “The future of Rebel Football is bright,” Hauck said. “I’m excited to be a part of the process building UNLV Football into a winner. I enjoy working every day with this group of players and coaches, as well as our administration.” Hauck immediately caught the attention of his new community when he announced a 2010 recruiting class that included the most Southern Nevada signees (eight) in program history. The overall group boasted 10 players who were assigned at least three stars by either Scout, Rivals or Scouts, Inc., which was also the most on record for the Rebels.

SIGNEE PROFILES 2011 UNLV SIGNING CLASS

Head coach Bobby Hauck brought in players from states ranging from Florida to New York to Alaska to Nevada -- and all the way from American Samoa -- as his second UNLV football class, made up of 23 future Rebels, was announced. “This was a good day for UNLV, a real good day,” Hauck said. “Rebel Football took a big step forward with this recruiting class. These guys are big, tough football players and along with last year’s class, will be the basis for success in the future.” UNLV’s class boasted seven players who were assigned at least three stars by Scout, Rivals or Scouts Inc. The group consisted of student-athletes whose hometowns were spread among seven states and one territory: 12 from California, three from Texas, two each from Arizona and Florida and one each from Nevada, Alaska, New York and American Samoa. “We’ll go wherever we need to go to put together a good class. Sometimes that is down the street and sometimes that’s in Anchorage. Texas is a hot-bed of talent that remains productive for us, as we signed three guys out of there this year.” The recruits list, which did not include three grayshirts who signed a year ago but joined the program in January as true freshmen, featured 15 high school players and eight junior-college players, just one year after a class that included only one JC signee. “We have a group of junior college players that can provide us some immediate help. It was necessary to recruit a number of JC players because the size of our junior class was so small. The basis of our recruiting remains high school players but we needed to balance the numbers out.” The class was largely even with 12 offensive players and 10 on defense, plus one special teams player. The full breakdown is as follows: 4 DL, 4 OL, 4 DB, 3 TE, 2 LB, 2 RB, 2 QB, 1 WR and 1 PK/P. “We’re trying to change the makeup of our team -- trying to get bigger and more physical and certainly this class answers some of those concerns. It takes some time to develop the young guys but down the road this will provide us a big, physical group.”

THE REAL O.C.

CLAYTON SETS REBEL QB LONGEVITY RECORD

Even though he did not begin the season-opener under center, Omar Clayton soon regained his starting spot and ended up playing more career games as a Rebel quarterback than anyone in history. When he took the field against Air Force on Nov. 18, Clayton broke the school record for most games played as a quarterback at the school with 38 and finished with 40 outings. He started 35 of those efforts. Glenn Carano still holds the UNLV record for most career starts at the quarterback position with 36. Despite missing time in his first three seasons at UNLV because of injuries, Clayton provided the Rebels their most stable quarterbacking situation in nearly a decade. One of a stunning total of six QBs to start a game at the position from 2005-08, Clayton transformed himself from a fifth-string, invited walk-on from Normal, IL, into the man who challenged many of the school’s passing records. He finished second at UNLV -- behind only two-time All-American Randall Cunningham -- in various career categories: passing yards with 6,560, touchdown passes with 48, pass attempts with 962 and completions with 564, and second in rushing yards by a QB with 798. He also finished as the school’s all-time leader in passing percentage at 58.6 (564-962) and ranked second in lowest interception percentage at .031.

LAS VEGAS -- Wisconsin running back John Clay rushed for 123 yards on 17 carries and added two touchdowns as the No. 12 Badgers amassed 278 yards on the ground en route to a 41-21 win over UNLV in the season-opener at Sam Boyd Stadium. Rebel quarterback Omar Clayton came off the bench in the third quarter and finished with a team-high 59 yards rushing on nine carries in addition to going 6-for-16 for 82 yards and a touchdown through the air. Wide receiver Phillip Payne grabbed his 15th career touchdown reception, hauling in a pass from starting quarterback Mike Clausen late in the second quarter that brought the Rebels to within three at 17-14 at the close of the first half. Payne led all receivers with 71 yards on four catches on the night. Clay picked up 39 yards on the ground during Wisconsin’s 14-play, 80-yard opening drive which gave the Badgers an early 7-0 lead. Following a three and out from UNLV, the Badgers continued to hammer the ball on the ground, this time Montee Ball crossed the goal line for a one-yard touchdown to give UW a 14-0 advantage. UNLV capitalized off two Wisconsin turnovers to the tune of 14 points in the first half, closing the gap to 17-14. Will Chandler’s 19-yard interception return for a touchdown got UNLV on the board late in the first. Chandler came up big again in the second quarter, scooping up a Nick Toon fumble at the two-yard line and rumbling 82 yards down to the UW 16, setting up a Clausen strike to Payne one play later. The Badgers’ Aaron Henry returned a fumble for a touchdown less than two minutes into the second half, extending the UW lead to 24-14. Wisconsin would go on to score 17 more points in the third quarter behind a pair of 16-yard rushing touchdowns from Clay and Ball, putting the game out of reach at 41-14. Clayton finished off the scoring for the night with a nine-yard pass to Irshad Stolden, capping an eight-play, 80-yard drive for the Rebels.

SALT LAKE CITY -- Utah capitalized on several UNLV special teams mistakes and put up 14 points in both the second and third quarters to run away with a 38-10 win in perhaps the final game between the two teams at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City Saturday afternoon. Terrance Cain got the starting nod at quarterback in place of an injured Jordan Wynn and threw for 207 yards and a pair of touchdowns, helping extend the Utes’ home winning streak to a Mountain West record 19 games. UNLV used an 18-play 79-yard drive capped by Nolan Kohorst’s first collegiate field goal to knot the game at 3-3 late in the first quarter. Utah regained the lead at 10-3 when Eddie Wide punched it in from three yards out. The Utes added to their lead before the end of the first half, turning a UNLV fumbled punt return into seven points after Jereme Brooks found himself on the receiving end of a 20-yard pass from Cain with just over 30 seconds left in the second quarter. Just over a minute into the third quarter Cain found a streaking Shaky Smithson for a 55-yard touchdown, bringing the score to 24-3. The Rebels lone touchdown of the day came off a blocked punt by Nate Carter. Freshman Tim Hasson scooped up the block and sprinted 19 yards for the score, closing the gap to 24-10. Smithson found the end zone again late in the third following a 77-yard punt return for a touchdown, restoring the Ute lead to 21 at 31-10. Omar Clayton started his first game of the season and finished 18-of-37 for a game-high 217 yards passing, which moved him into fifth place on UNLV’s all-time passing yards list. Wide receiver Michael Johnson led all wideouts on the day, hauling in seven catches for 94 yards.

MOSCOW, Idaho -- Idaho scored on its first four possessions of the game and jumped out to a commanding 24-0 lead by halftime in a 30-7 win over UNLV at the Kibbie Dome in Moscow. It was the first time in series history that the Vandals were able to knock off the Rebels on their home turf. Idaho quarterback Nathan Enderle was 15-of-27 on the day for 210 yards and a touchdown, hitting nine different receivers along the way. Tight end Daniel Hardy caught three passes for a game-high 82 yards and a score. The Vandals opened the game up with a 14-play, 69-yard drive capped by a Deonte’ Jackson one-yard touchdown run. Jackson also scored from one yard out late in the second quarter and finished the game with 21 yards on 11 carries. The Rebel offense could not get much going in the first half, gaining just 64 yards of total offense. After throwing for over 200 yards a week ago, starting quarterback Omar Clayton was kept in check, finishing 3-for-8 for 41 yards on the night before being pulled in the middle of the third quarter. Clayton’s replacement, redshirt freshman Caleb Herring, was 4-of-7 on the night with a touchdown and an interception. Herring’s 25-yard TD pass to Phillip Payne capped a five-play, 80- yard drive with just over a minute left in the game to avoid the shutout. Channing Trotter ran for 62 yards on 15 carries while Bradley Randle added 28 yards on four carries. UNLV’s defense stepped up in the second half, limiting the Idaho offense to just two field goals and coming up with a huge stop on fourth and goal from their own two-yard line. Will Chandler nabbed his second interception of the year while the Rebels recorded their first two quarterback sacks of the season.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- Geno Smith passed for 220 yards and three touchdowns while Noel Devine added 84 yards on just three carries, scoring twice to lead the West Virginia Mountaineers to a 49-10 win over UNLV in the first-ever meeting between the two schools. WVU struck early and often, jumping out to a 21-0 lead after the first quarter of play. Smith found Brad Starks from 38 yards out just over a minute into the game to grab the early 7-0 lead before Devine reversed field on his first carry of the game and scored from 28 yards out just over three minutes later. West Virginia’s Jock Sanders scored on an end-around from 10 yards out to cap the scoring in the first quarter. Devine raced to the end zone from 48 yards out to make it 28-0 in favor of the home team and Starks caught his second of three touchdowns on the day from Smith, this time connecting from 48 yards out, running the total to 35-0 just before half. Starks’ third touchdown of the day - a four-yard pass from Smith - made it 42-0 before the UNLV offense would answer back. Nolan Kohorst connected from 39 yards out after the Rebels’ drive stalled late in the third, giving UNLV its first points of the game. Freshman Tim Cornett provided UNLV its only touchdown of the day, a six-yard strike from backup quarterback Caleb Herring early in the fourth, but it was too little, too late as WVU scored once more with just over five minutes remaining to extend its lead to 49-10. Omar Clayton started the game and finished 12-of-18 for 79 yards while Herring was 8-of-14 for 101 yards with a touchdown and interception on the day. In all, 11 different Rebel recievers caught a pass on the day, led by Austin Harrington’s three catches for 34 yards. Cornett finished the day with 56 yards on 12 carries while Deante’ Purvis rushed for 48 yards on 17 carries, both career-high numbers for the converted defensive back. Defensively, the Rebels were led by their trio of starting linebackers, Tani Maka, Ronnie Paulo and Calvin Randleman, who each tallied four tackles along with John Therrell.

FORT COLLINS, Colo. -- Colorado State freshman quarterback Pete Thomas threw for 233 yards and three touchdowns, helping lead the Rams to a 43-10 win over UNLV. CSU jumped out to a 14-3 lead after the first quarter and extended it to 34-10 before half, racking up 298 yards of offense along the way. Leonard Mason put the Rams on the board after scoring from three yards out to cap an eight-play, 44-yard drive. Mason finished the game with 121 yards rushing on 14 attempts, averaging 8.6 yards per carry. After Nolan Kohorst connected on a career-long 47-yard field goal to cut the lead to 7-3, Thomas tossed his first touchdown of the day, hitting Eric Peitz from 14 yards out. Thomas made it 21-3 in favor of CSU when Lou Greenwood capitalized on a slip in the UNLV secondary, hauling in a 73-yard touchdown pass. Freshman Tim Cornett capped a 12-play, 73-yard drive late in the second quarter with his second rushing touchdown of the season from three yards out. Cornett finished with 74 yards on a game-high 17 carries. The Rams’ Derek Good returned the ensuing kickoff 74 yards and John Mosure punched it in from nine yards out two plays later, bringing the score to 27-10. UNLV reached into its bag of tricks, opting to run a fake punt from its own 29-yard line on a fourth and one, but failed to pick up the first down, giving CSU prime field position with just over a minute left in the half. Thomas made the Rebels pay with his third touchdown pass of the half, a 29-yard strike to Pietz. CSU tacked on three field goals in the second half and held the Rebels scoreless to walk away with the Homecoming win.

SAN DIEGO -- Ryan Lindley threw for 338 yards and four touchdowns as San Diego State jumped out to a 17-0 lead and never looked back, downing UNLV in both teams’ Mountain West finale, 48-14 at Qualcomm Stadium. Despite freshman returner Marcus Sullivan’s 60-yard kick return to open the game, UNLV could not come away with any points on the possession. SDSU took over on its own 39-yard line and drove the 61 yards in just five plays with Lindley finding Brandon Sullivan on a 17yard strike to go ahead 7-0. Brandon Sullivan notched his second touchdown of the night, this time on a oneyard rush to give the Aztecs a two-score lead with just over five minutes to go in the first. Abel Perez added a 42-yard field goal to put SDSU ahead 17-0 before UNLV answered. Sullivan returned the ensuing kick 73 yards down to the San Diego State 27-yardline, setting up the Rebels’ first score of the night as Omar Clayton found H-back Kyle Watkins in the flats for a 27-yard touchdown pass. Clayton finished the game 13-of-29 for 167 yards and a touchdown. The TD pass was the 46th of his career. SDSU would score the only points of the second quarter, with Lindley finding DeMarco Sampson for touchdown receptions of 41 and 50 yards respectively, giving the Aztecs a 31-7 lead at half. Lindley found Vincent Brown from three yards out minutes into the third and Perez added a 53-yard field goal to bring the score to 41-7 in favor of the home team. UNLV’s other score came with just over a minute on the clock when safety Mike Clausen picked up a fumble and returned it 64 yards for the score. Phillip Payne and Michael Johnson each pulled in five receptions on the night while Sidney Hodge tallied a game-high 10 tackles.

Interceptions: None.

WESTERN ATHLETIC

UNLV holds no WAC team or individual records.

Jon Denton set 10 NCAA freshman records in 1996, all of which have since been broken.

Randy Gatewood’s record of 23 catches in one game still stands.

No collegian has returned a fumble 100 yards since Kevin Thomas did it vs. Baylor in 1999. Jason Davis’ magical quarter of play in 1994 still makes him owner of five NCAA records.

Henry Bailey set an NCAA record for all-purpose yards in 1992.

REBEL BOWL HISTORY

S

till the winningest team in UNLV Division I history at 112 overall, the 1984 squad earned the school its first bowl bid and went on to beat Toledo 30-13 in the California Bowl. The first Big West team to ever win seven league games, Coach Harvey Hyde’s Rebels lost only a close game at Hawaii and to 10th-ranked SMU in the regular-season finale, the night Randall Cunningham’s No. 12 jersey was retired at halftime. Not surprisingly, UNLV swept the league’s postseason honors with Offensive Player of the Year Cunningham, Defensive Co-Player of the Year Aaron Moog and Coach of the Year Hyde. UNLV took on an 8-2-1 Mid-American Conference Champion Toledo squad in the fourth California Bowl in front of a national ESPN audience. The Rebels won impressively, 30-13, though the game was later ruled technically forfeited by UNLV because of the use of ineligible players during the season, none of whom played in the bowl game. The Rebels broke the game open with 17 third-quarter points led by Cunningham’s passing and the running of a freshman from Fresno named Elbert “Ickey” Woods. Cunningham’s 270 yards through the air helped him earn MVP honors. Just a few months later the lanky QB became a secondround choice of the Philadelphia Eagles in the 1985 NFL Draft. Woods went on to lead the nation in rushing in 1987 with 1,658 yards before “shuffling” off to Cincinnati as a second-round pick in 1988.

California Bowl MVP Randall Cunningham threw for two touchdowns and ran for another.

ppearing in its first bowl game in a decade, UNLV blasted Mid-American Conference opponent Central Michigan in the second meeting of the year between the two clubs. Playing it up for a national television audience on ESPN, the Rebels (7-5), who racked up 589 yards in offense (the most by any ’94 bowl team) jumped out to a quick 14-0 lead over the Chippewas (9-3). Not even two minutes had passed in the first quarter when Henry Bailey, the Rebels’ career receiving leader, exploded for a 46-yard touchdown reception from Jared Brown. The strike was the first of four UNLV touchdowns longer than 30 yards on the night. After the Chips pulled to 14-10, the Rebel offensive machine continued to roll and UNLV pulled away for good on a 15-yard fumble return for a TD by defensive end Keith Washington. UNLV eventually cruised to a 52-10 lead before clearing the bench. Las Vegas Bowl III MVP Bailey, soon to be a Pittsburgh Steelers draftee, rushed for 79 yards on seven carries with three TDs, and accumulated 101 yards receiving with one score. Sophomore RB DeJohn Branch had a sparkling performance, carrying the ball 13 times for 125 yards, and Brown finished the game 11-for-21 for 195 yards with two TDs and 32 yards rushing. UNLV coach Jeff Horton was named the Big West Conference Co-Coach of the Year for turning a 3-8 team in ’93 into league and bowl champions in his first season.

REBEL BOWL HISTORY

P

laying before a national ESPN2 audience and a Las Vegas Bowl-record 29,113 fans, UNLV (8-5) won its fourth straight for the first time since 1984 and moved to 3-0 all-time in bowl games with a surprisingly one-sided 31-14 victory over Arkansas (6-6), the Rebels’ first over a team from the powerful Southeastern Conference. UNLV quarterback Jason Thomas earned MVP honors by completing 12 of 17 pass attempts for 217 yards and three scores without an interception as well as rushing for 32 yards on 10 carries. Thomas’ favorite target was Nate Turner, who ended his career with 126 yards on eight catches – all in the first half. Jeremi Rudolph gained 92 yards on 14 carries and Kevin Brown had 78 on 13 attempts. Arkansas, which was fresh from two consecutive victories over ranked SEC opponents to become bowl eiligible, opened the scoring with the only points of the first quarter. UNLV answered with a Thomas-to-Turner 19-yard pass, which was the first TD given up by the Razorbacks in 11 quarters. Two minutes later the Hogs used Robby Hampton’s second scoring throw of the game to take a 14-7 lead. UNLV, however, struck again to square things before halftime with a five-yard Turner TD. Things stayed tied until with just over two minutes left in the third, Thomas found Troy Mason with a stunning 54-yard TD strike that was the second longest in bowl history. After a Dillon Pieffer field goal put UNLV up 24-14, the Razorbacks elected to go for it on fourth and 10 from the Rebel 37 with more than 12 minutes remaining. The UNLV defense forced an incompletion and the inspired Rebels eventually closed their shocking 24-point scoring run with an 18-yard Brown run. The Rebels out-gained the bigger Hogs, who had defeated seven straight non-conference opponents and were 6-0 vs. MW teams, 476 to 298. UNLV also held its opponent to under 200 yards rushing (115) for the 12th time in 2000. The Rebels, who moved to 2-0 in Las Vegas Bowls, earned their most victories in a season since 1984 and finished the season a perfect 6-0 at Sam Boyd Stadium. Head Coach John Robinson improved to 8-1 in bowl games during his career, which made him the winningest bowl coach in NCAA D-I history with a percentage of .889. “This is particularly gratifying because our guys were at their best,” Robinson said during the post-game celebration.

MVP Jason Thomas (center) threw for 217 yards and three touchdowns.

REBELS IN THE PROS CUNNINGHAM HEADS UNLV’S NFL ALUMNI Still the career passing and punting leader at UNLV, Randall Cunningham left his school as its most accomplished player and went on to become one of the top quarterbacks in NFL history. Before Michael Vick and Donovan McNabb there was Randall. A national figure who broke the racial barrier at his position, Cunningham augmented his cannon arm and booming punting leg by re-defining the running ability of a pro quarterback and remains the league’s all-time rushing QB with 4,928 yards. Rising to stardom with the team that drafted him 37th overall in 1985 - Philadelphia - Cunningham went on to play 11 seasons with the Eagles, three with the Vikings, one with the Cowboys and his final two with the Ravens. The four-time Pro Bowl invitee won Most Outstanding Player honors in the 1989 game after leading the NFC to a 34-3 blowout. Joining Johnny Unitas as the only three-time winners of the Bert Bell Award, which goes to the league’s top player, Cunningham was also named the NFL Player of the Year in 1998 after leading Minnesota to the league’s best record and engineering what was the highest scoring offense in history. The Las Vegas resident retired, symbolically, as an Eagle, in 2002 but still ranks in the top 40 in league annals in passing yards, TDs and completions.

Although most famous for his time with the Eagles, Randall Cunningham won NFL Player of the Year honors while leading the Vikings.

No. 21 Wisconsin blocks a field-goal attempt that would have given the Rebels a halftime lead and returns it for a stunning score. The Badgers eventually post their first offensive TD vs. UNLV in a span of 10 quarters en route to an 18-3 victory. October 2 Spoiling the return of UNR coach Chris Ault to the series, UNLV keeps the Fremont Cannon for a school-record fifth straight year by routing the Pack 48-13 before the second biggest crowd (27,596) to watch the rivalry game in Las Vegas. The Rebels, who go 8-8 in the red zone, score their most points in regulation under John Robinson. October 8 Playing on ESPN2, UNLV’s defense forces five turnovers en route to beating BYU in Provo for the second consecutive time. The Rebels improve to 5-1-1 in games played on Friday. November 6 Playing overtime for the third time in the last seven meetings with Wyoming, UNLV falls to the Pokes for the first time in six years in a wild, three-OT shootout, 53-45, which goes down as the highestscoring MW game in history. The Rebels play past a first OT for the first time and score four more points in these extra periods (14) than the previous six such games combined (10). The Rebels’ 22 penalties are just two short of the NCAA record.

November 20 The John Robinson Era closes after the legendary coach walks off the sidelines at the end of 27 pro and college seasons. Despite the 21-3 loss to San Diego State, he leaves as the school’s second-winningest coach with 26 wins in six years. LB Adam Seward’s 13 tackles give him a school- and MW-record 435 in his career. Earvin Johnson catches a pass in his Rebel-record 41st straight game as he moves past Damon Williams as the program’s all-time leader in receiving yards (2,604). Dominique Dorsey wins the MW rushing title with 1,261 yards.

December 6 Mike Sanford is hired away from MW champion Utah to become the ninth head coach in UNLV history. December 7 Senior DB Jamaal Brimmer becomes UNLV’s fourth two-time All-American in history and first since 1984 when he is honored by The Sporting News (2nd Team) and AP (3rd Team). He goes on to become the third Rebel ever to play in the Senior Bowl as UNLV places at least one player in five postseason all-star games.

Wonder of Waco: Remembering “The Return” Did it really happen? Did 1999’s most memorable play in college football really take place on a muggy Sept. 11 night in Waco, Texas? Did UNLV really pull off something never before done to start 2-0 on the road for the first time in 25 years? Yes. Yes. And, surprisingly – no make that inexplicably, yes. UNLV made history by becoming the first team to win a college football game on the last play while trailing and without the ball. And it all happened because of one team’s intention to run up the score and another

team’s refusal to allow it. Host Baylor was leading the Rebels 24-21 with eight seconds left when it ran a rushing play to attempt to score again instead of simply downing the ball to end the game. After Bears running back Darrell Bush was stood up at the one-yard line by the Rebel defense, LB Tyler Brickell managed to force a fumble. DB Kevin Thomas picked up the ball in the end zone and, with no time on the clock, raced more than the length of the field to score his team’s winning points as UNLV prevailed 27-24. The shocking video showed up on everyone’s highlight show while UNLV announcer Tony Cordasco’s now-famous radio call repeatedly played across the nation. It was only the third time in NCAA FBS history that a fumble had been returned 100 yards (interestingly, the second time came against UNLV at Rice just four games earlier in ‘98). In 2007, the play ranked 85th in ESPN. com’s Top 100 Defining Plays in College Football History.

September 5 Playing on a Monday for the first time ever, UNLV opens on national television for a school-record fifth straight year by traveling to New Mexico for an ESPN2 Labor Day special. Mike Sanford becomes the first head coach in college history to successfully challenge an officials’ call using the new replay system and the move helps the Rebels nearly rally to victory in a 24-22 heartbreaker. September 10 Sanford earns his first win as a head coach when kicker Sergio Aguayo boots a 41-yarder against Idaho for the first game-winning field goal for UNLV since 1992. September 14 Senior DE and Las Vegas native Leon Moore becomes the third Rebel gridder in four years to be named a community service All-American when he earns one of only 11 spots on the prestigious AFCA Good Works Team.

September 13 In the first-ever meeting between the programs from neighboring states, UNLV travels to Tempe and stuns No. 13 Arizona State 2320 when Malo Taumua blocks a Sun Devils’ field-goal attempt in overtime. It marks the secondhighest ranked win in program history and its first OT victory since 2004. Phillip Payne’s “The Catch” September 20 UNLV becomes the eighth school in history to earn back-to-back overtime victories with a 34-31 home thriller over Iowa State.

April 24 Rebel center Joe Hawley goes higher in the NFL Draft than any offensive lineman in UNLV history when he is selected by the Atlanta Falcons in the fourth round. It marks the fourth consecutive year that at least one UNLV player is drafted, which is the longest streak for the school since an eight-year string in 1975-82. September 5 The Bobby Hauck Era opens with the Rebels meeting No. 12 Wisconsin in front of a crowd of 31,107, which marked the 12th-largest home crowd in UNLV history. The No. 12 Badgers, who would go on to play in the Rose Bowl, score 24 unanswered third-quarter points to win 41-21. September 25 Hauck’s first UNLV win is a 45-10 blistering of New Mexico. The 35-point margin of victory is the biggest in Rebel history vs. a conference opponent. October 9 UNLV plays a Big East Conference team for the first time, traveling to Morgantown to take on West Virginia. November 13 A 42-16 win over Wyoming marks UNLV’s first Homecoming victory since 2001. December 4 UNLV’s game at Hawaii ends the longest season in school history (13 regular-season games). The Warriors are the eighth team who spent time in the at least one of the two major polls to take on the Rebels in 2011. In fact, UNLV faces the nation’s 19th-toughest schedule according to the Sagarin Ratings Index, which is the thirdhighest ever for a Non-AQ team.


REBEL AWARD WINNERS 2007 MW DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR Beau Bell was a dominant force on his side of the ball in 2007, leading the league with 126 total tackles and five forced fumbles to go with 9.5 TFL and 3 sacks. He also led the team with four interceptions, including one at Wyoming that he returned for his first career TD. Bell became the first player in MW history to be named defensive player of the week three times in one season and left UNLV ranked second in all-time tackles with 320. The fourth Rebel ever to be invited to play in the Senior Bowl, Bell had eight double-digit tackle games as a senior and went on to become the top draft pick of the Cleveland Browns. 2006 MW FRESHMAN OF THE YEAR Ryan Wolfe’s first game as a collegian saw him catch six balls for 160 yards, including a 71-yard touchdown sprint. The rookie later proved it was no fluke when he hauled in nine receptions for a MW-freshmanrecord-tying 176 yards vs. New Mexico. He also posted 108 yards vs. Air Force to close the campaign. Named First Team Freshman All-America by the Football Writers Assoc. of America, Wolfe was UNLV’s first first team allconference receiver since 1997 after becoming the first freshman to ever lead the conference in receiving yards (911), which ranked 26th nationally. 2002 & 2003 MW DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR Hometown hero Jamaal Brimmer exploded onto the scene as a sophomore in 2002, including leading the MW with 17 tackles for loss and a squadleading 5.5 QB sacks. Hence, he was the pick of both the coaches and media for league MVP honors in. One year later, his stats only improved as he led the league with six interceptions and four forced fumbles, which led to two key defensive scores. His eye-popping day in leading his team to an upset of Wisconsin got him national defensive player of the week honors and helped him become a semifinalist for the Thorpe Award and repeat as the consensus defensive MVP of his conference, despite being snubbed by MW coaches. 2001 MW FRESHMAN OF THE YEAR ‘Nique the Streak burst on to the scene with a scintillating 87-yard kickoff return vs. Northwestern in his first career attempt. Nine returns later he had broken the school record for season average at 36.4. Despite injuries, he displayed similar bursts at tailback and led the team with a 6.6-yard average, including TD runs of 56 and 40 yards. Against UNR, he set a league rookie record by gaining 180 yards on just 18 carries.

2001 MW DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR The school’s first Division I AllAmerican on his side of the ball, cornerback Thomas wrapped up perhaps the finest defensive career in Rebel history by breaking the school and MW single-season record for interceptions with seven, leading the nation in both interception return yardage and defensive scoring after taking three balls back for touchdowns while also pacing the league 1998 WAC FRESHMAN OF THE YEAR (PACIFIC DIVISION) A true Hawaiian warrior, Sunia became the first freshman in school history voted team captain and went on to start all 11 games at MLB. Named First Team Freshman All-America by Football News after leading his team with 115 total tackles, Sunia would gain 119 takedowns a year later but spend his final two seasons suffering from various injuries that would keep him from breaking UNLV’s career

1996 WAC FRESHMAN OF THE YEAR (MOUNTAIN DIVISION) Turning in arguably the best season by a freshman QB in FBS history, Denton shattered 10 NCAA freshman records and 10 other school marks for a team that won only one game. His nine 200-yard passing games included a school-record 503-yard performance vs. SDSU while his 3,591 yards and 25 TDs passing were NCAA singleJON DENTON season records for a frosh. On pace to shatter every conceivable UNLV passing record, the DENTON-ATOR would play only one more season before transferring to Eastern Kentucky. 1987 PCAA OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR Saving the best for last, Elbert “Ickey” Woods gained only 267 yards his first three seasons. As a senior he proceeded to lead the nation in rushing with 1,658 yards on 259 carries (6.4 YPC) and put in 10 touchdowns. He tied a school record with seven consecutive 100-yard games, including an incredible three straight over 200. The next spring he would become the highest drafted Rebel in history at No. 31 overall and go on to lead the Cincinnati Bengals to the Super Bowl behind his signature Ickey Shuffle. 1983 & 1984 PCAA OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR The first two-time league MVP for the Rebels, Randall Cunningham was an All-American punter and future NFL star at quarterback. The school’s career passing leader threw for 2,545 yards, 18 TDs and only 8 INTs in 1983 and followed that up with 2,628 yards, 24 TDs RANDALL and 10 INTs in a senior campaign CUNNINGHAM that saw his team finish 11-2, including winning the PCAA title and California Bowl. The next spring, he would be drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles with the 37th pick and go on to a sterling 15-year pro career.

1984 PCAA CO-DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR The complete package along the line with superb speed, agility and aggressiveness, Moog led one of UNLV’s best-ever defenses by totaling 63 tackles, including six for loss, six sacks and three pass breakups. The Rebels flirted with the national rankings by winning their first league title and bowl championship en route to an 11-2 overall mark.

JOHN ROBINSON

JEFF HORTON

2000 MWC CO-COACH OF THE YEAR Just a year after taking over a program that posted its first-ever winless season, Robinson led the Rebels to their most wins since 1984 (8-5) and victory over Arkansas in the Las Vegas Bowl. Despite the amazing turnaround, Robinson shared his award with MWC champion Colorado State leader Sonny Lubick. 1994 BIG WEST CO-COACH OF THE YEAR Under a first-year head coach, the Rebels rebounded from a 3-8 record to shock the league and earned a three-way tie for the Big West championship with a 5-1 record. Winning the tiebreaker, UNLV earned the Las Vegas Bowl bid and crushed Central Michigan 52-24. Horton shared his award with Pacific head man Chuck Shelton. 1984 PCAA COACH OF THE YEAR The most successful Rebel squad since moving to division one, Hyde’s 1984 Rebels were 11-2 overall and 7-0 in the Pacific Coast Athletic Association. The season, which culminated with a 30-13 victory over Toledo in the California Bowl, also produced the school’s first league coach of the year award.

JOE INGERSOLL Defensive Lineman

One of only four repeat AllAmericans in UNLV history, Joe Ingersoll (1973-75) also was the first defensive player from the Rebels so honored. The Salt Lake City native played his freshman year at Utah before transferring to the desert and performing as a dominant defensive lineman for three years. As a junior, “Big Joe” led the undefeated 1974 UNLV team in tackles with 105, including four sacks, and was tabbed an AP Div. II Second Team All-American. As a senior, the terrific tackle earned first team honors from the AFCA and would go on to become a seventh round choice by the Miami Dolphins in the 1976 NFL Draft. In 1987, Ingersoll was a member of the inaugural UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame.

Although he is now known for being the NFL’s all-time leading rushing quarterback, Santa Barbara, Calif., native Randall Cunningham (1981-84) won his national collegiate honors at his other position – punter. Still the Rebels’ leader for punting average in a game (58.0), season (47.5) and career (45.6), Cunningham would own the second-best career punting average in college football history if he had punted just eight more times during his three years on the field. Touted as a Heisman Trophy candidate for his lethal combination of talent throwing, running and punting the ball, Cunningham was named first team All-America in 1983 (as well as honorable mention QB by AP) and second team in 1984, making him UNLV’s first two-time All-American since the school moved to Division I in 1977. He would go on to be the 37th pick in the 1985 NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles and was named the 1998 NFL Player of the Year as a Minnesota Viking QB.

JIM SANDUSKY Wide Receiver

Although his UNLV career was brief, San Diego native Jim Sandusky (1981) turned in the greatest receiving year in school history during his one year on campus. Catching balls from the arm of QB Sam King as part of head coach Tony Knap’s free-wheeling offense, Sandusky hauled in 68 passes (17 more than any previous Rebel) for 1,346 yards, which is still a school record. Despite playing in only 12 games, Sandusky remains tied for second at the school with eight career 100-yard receiving games. Such output would earn him Second Team All-America honors. However, with Knap retiring, Sandusky would transfer to San Diego State and go on to a distinguished career in the NFL and Canadian Football League.

The bluest of Blue Chip recruits out of Greenville, Texas, Mike Thomas 1973-74, signed on with the University of Oklahoma but soon left Norman to ride his way West and right into the Rebel – and national – record books. His two seasons in Las Vegas were nothing less than stunning. As a junior in 1973, he scored a school-record 20 touchdowns and led the nation in rushing yards with 1,741, which was just 35 short of the then-NCAA single-season record. A year later, Thomas added 1,408 yards and 17 rushing scores to lead the Rebels to their only undefeated regular season and a Div. II ranking as high as No. 2 before losing in a national semifinal game. His still-UNLV-best career totals were 3,149 yards and 37 TDs born from a 6.6-yards-per-carry average. Both seasons resulted in AFCA First Team All-America nods for UNLV’s first true football star to make him the only two-time first-teamer in Rebel history. Thomas would go on to complete a fine NFL career with the Washington Redskins and San Diego Chargers.


REBEL ALL-AMERICANS JAMAAL BRIMMER Safety

2004 Sporting News-2nd Team AP-3rd Team 2003 Football News-1st Team

The first non-senior to earn All-America at UNLV since Randall Cunningham in 1983, Jamaal Brimmer (2001-04) also became the first non-punting first team honoree for the Rebels since 1975. The hometown hero introduced himself to the nation early in the season with the greatest single defensive performance in school in leading his team to a major upset at Wisconsin on national TV. Brimmer’s phenomenal day, which included 11 tackles, two interceptions, one fumble return for a TD and two quarterback sacks, earned him the Bronko Nagurski National Defensive Player of the Week honors. The free safety, who would be voted the school’s first two-time consensus league MVP in his career, led the MWC with six interceptions and four forced fumbles to go with three sacks and four fumble recoveries in 2003. The first UNLV semifinalist for the Jim Thorpe Award became the school’s first two-time All-American since Cunningham with nods from AP and The Sporting News as a senior. That followed being named a community service All-American as a member of the 2004 AFCA Good Works Team.

JOE KRISTOSIK

Joe Kristosik (1995-98) was a bright light through the program’s only winless season in 1998. He walked on to his hometown team in 1994 and five years later walked away as the school’s first and only consensus First Team All-American. Kristosik was the first Rebel booter to lead the nation in punting with a 46.2-yard average, which was the second-highest in NCAA history with a minimum of 75 attempts. Along the way, he turned in perhaps the greatest performance ever by a collegiate punter when he had 13 tries at BYU with eight going longer than 50 yards and a stunning four traveling at least 60 yards, including two season-long kicks of 67 yards. Kristosik became the first-ever UNLV member of the prestigious Walter Camp Football Foundation team.

Making a strong bid as being the best defensive player in school history, Kevin Thomas (1998-2001) turned on the gas to close out his stellar career and become the first Rebel on his side of the ball to earn All-America since 1975. Holder of various school and conference records, KT came to Las Vegas from Sacramento as a scrawny and unheralded defensive back but left as one of the best cover men in the nation en route to being tabbed third team All-America by Football News and fourth team by The Sporting News. The second three-time first team all-conference player in Rebel history, his seven picks as a senior broke the UNLV and MWC record for a single season as he led the nation in interception return yardage (213) and defensive scoring (18 points). An iron man who never missed a start in four seasons (UNLV-record 46 overall), his six career touchdowns highlighted a school-record 55 career pass breakups. The Jim Thorpe candidate and MWC Defensive Player of the Year played in both the Senior Bowl and East-West Shrine Game before being selected by the Buffalo Bills in the NFL Draft.

A transfer from Glendale (Calif.) Junior College, Brad Faunce (1993-94) used his powerful leg to post an impressive two-year career at UNLV.

Also the squad’s kickoff man in 1994, Faunce’s memorable 91-yard punt vs. UNR was not only a school record, but also helped the Rebels upset the Wolf Pack to win the Big West Conference title and a berth in Las Vegas Bowl III.

San Antonio Junior College in Walnut, Calif., Parvin turned in a fine junior campaign with a 41.9-yard punting average, which was good for 18th in the nation. His senior year, however, produced the second-highest season number in school history with 46.3 – the third-best average in the nation in 1992.

UNLV

Combining the excitement of an urban location with the charm of a traditional campus, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas offers students a full educational and social experience. Just over five decades old, UNLV has maintained a healthy rate of growth in enrollment, programs and scholastic excellence as part of the eight-component Nevada System of Higher Education. Located in the heart of one of the world’s most vibrant and dynamic cities, UNLV has matured along with the Las Vegas area. With enrollment more than doubling the last decade, the tremendous growth has meant a flurry of construction resulting in a campus setting boasting academic and athletic facilities second to none. Steadily becoming a traditional residential university, UNLV provides on-campus housing for more than 2,000 students. A variety of student clubs and organizations along with 26 Greek organizations supplement the social development of students. From within its 15 schools and colleges, including the William S. Boyd School of Law, UNLV is also becoming a leading research institution of the West. The school’s scientific, social science, and business programs attract millions of dollars in research grants annually to fund projects in desert biology, nuclear waste transportation, laser physics, public opinion surveys and many others. In addition to traditional student programs, UNLV serves diverse local, national and international communities through its Educational Outreach Division, offering Summer Term, Continuing Education and Distance Education programs enrolling more than 53,000 students annually.

UNLV has excellent athletic facilities as well, many open for student and public use. Opened in 1957 as the southern regional division of the University of Nevada with a total of 28 students, UNLV now is home to more than 28,000 students coming from every county in Nevada, all 50 U.S. states and 88 countries. Much of UNLV’s tremendous expansion is the result of support from the Nevada Legislature and the state’s taxpayers. Private donors have played an important role as well. These gifts support new facilities and programs and, most important, provide the scholarship incentives that bring Nevada’s best and brightest student scholars to campus. UNLV operates an on-campus Center for Business and Economic Research, Center for Economic Education, Harry Reid Center for Environmental Studies (in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency), Desert Biology Research Center, Center for Survey Research, Nuclear Waste Transportation Research Center and other research and public-service centers. Offering 108 undergraduate programs and 137 graduate tracts, UNLV graduated a class of nearly 6,000 last year. The University operates on a semester system and is a member of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, the Council of Graduate Schools, the American Council of Education and the Western College Association. All of the University’s academic programs are fully accredited by the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges, and many programs have received further accreditation from independent national accreditation bodies.

PRESIDENT PRESID NT IDENT PRESIDENT ENT dr. neal

SMATRESK

Dr. Neal J. Smatresk was appointed President of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas on Aug. 6, 2009. His career at UNLV began in 2007 as executive vice president and provost, where he was responsible for the leadership and administration of all academic and research programs, spanning 15 colleges and two professional schools. In the last four years, UNLV has hit a number of milestones and academic achievements despite challenging times. Smatresk emphasizes how vitally important UNLV is to improving educational access and success for diverse students, spurring the research and innovation needed for diversification of Southern Nevada’s economic base, and supplying both an educated work force and critically needed services for the community and region. A testament to his vision is UNLV’s partnership with the highly respected Brookings Institution to establish Brookings Mountain West, the national think tank’s first foray this side of the Mississippi. UNLV completed a recordbreaking $537 million fundraising campaign, with Smatresk and his leadership team garnering a $12.6 million donation from the Engelstad Family Foundation to support the largest active scholarship program in the university’s history. Under Smatresk’s direction, UNLV established the Academic Success Center, which is living up to its name by helping students find the right majors, succeed in their classes, and graduate on time. Student athletes are advised through the center, and they have never done better in the classroom. In addition to his teaching and leadership roles, Smatresk has championed kindergarten to doctorate science outreach efforts and teacher professional development, participating in a number of programs throughout his career that focus on science, technology, engineering and math career development. UNLV’s president is a scientist by training and received his Ph.D. in zoology from the University of Texas at Austin in 1980. Following post-doctoral work at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Smatresk joined the University of Texas, Arlington (UTA) department of biology in 1982. In his 22 years at UTA, he served as chair of biology and later dean of science, until his appointment as the chief academic officer at the University of Hawaii at Manoa in 2004. During his time there, Hawaii’s flagship university entered the ranks of the top 25 federally funded institutions, gained three National Academy of Science members, and received recognition from the Chinese Ministry of Education as a Confucius Institute, an honor shared by only 11 other U.S. institutions. Smatresk has received numerous teaching awards, and his research in cardiorespiratory physiology has resulted in more than 50 papers and book chapters and grants from the National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health. His undergraduate alma mater, Gettysburg College, awarded him its Distinguished Alumnus of the Year Award in 2011.

ATHLETIC TIC DIRECTO DIRECTOR RECTOR RECTO ATHLETIC DIRECTOR

LIVENGOOD

Bringing with him a wealth of experience and the reputation as one of the nation’s top administrators, Jim Livengood was introduced as UNLV’s 11th full-time Director of Athletics on Dec. 17, 2009. Livengood wasted no time getting to work, as less than two weeks later he hired Bobby Hauck as the 10th head coach in Rebel football history. Just three months after that it was a nounced that a new, state-of-the-art basketball practice facility, the Mendenhall Center, would be built, with construction starting later in the year. Livengood came to UNLV following a successful tenure of more than 15 years at the University of Arizona where he oversaw an athletics program that annually competed for championships not only in the Pac-10 Conference but also at a national level, maintained a high academic standard for its student-athletes and continually operated its $43 million budget in the black. His fiscal leadership helped Arizona remain one of the lone black-ink athletics programs among a small handful of institutions that rely exclusively on generated funds and do not receive state-appropriated monies. During his time in Tucson, he served as the Paciic-10 Conference president, chair of the Pac-10 Athletic

Directors Revenue Sharing Committee and a member of the conference's Bowl Committee and Basketball Tournament Subcommittee. He also was a member of the Rose Bowl Management Committee, the NCAA Fellows program, NACDA President, and chair of the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Committee, on which he served five years. His work at Arizona and its extesion on the national level earned him an Athletic Director of the Year Award from the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics in 2006 for Division I-A. Livengood initiated Campaign Arizona, which raised more than $130 million for athletic facility improvements and endowments while the Wildcats maintained a top-25 competitive record in the NACDA Directors' Cup (formerly Sears Cup), including high rankings of sixth in 1993-94, fourth in 1994-95, seventh in 1995-96, sixth in both 1996-97 and 1997-98 and ninth in 2001-02. That record reflects success throughout Arizona's broad-based program, highlighted by participation in the 1994 and 2001 NCAA Men's Final Four and champions of the 1997 NCAA Men's National Basketball Tournament. Ar zona also won the 1994, 1996, 1997, 2001, 2006 and 2007 NCAA Women's Softball College World Series titles, the 1996 and 2000 NCAA Women's Golf titleand the 2008 men's and women's NCAA Swimming Championships. UA's student-athlete graduation rate continued to be historically higher than that of the general student body rate during his tenure at UA. Nearly 100 student-athletes earned conference or regional all-academic honors, and 20 percent of UA student-athletes attained honors-level cumulative grade point averages. Livengood is a member of the NCAA Fellows Program to mentor new athletic directors, has served as a member of the NCAA Peer Review Team from 1994-99, the NCAA Gender Equity Task Force, and the Women's Commi ttee on Athletics. He has been a member of the NACDA Preseason Football Games Committee

since 2000 and was a member of the NACDA Strategic Planning Committee from 1999-2001. He served as NACDA president in 1998-1999, and in 1999 was named Division I-A Athletic Director of the Year. He is also a member of the Division 1-A Athletic Directors Associttion, having served as president of that association in 1998. Livengood spent six years as the Athletics Director at Washington State University from 1988-93 where he developed what is still widely regarded as a model gender equity program. In addition he laid the groundwork for a student-athlete wellness center that is regarded as one of the finest in the nation. Livengood began his administrative career in 1980 as the Associate Director for Development and Public Relations at Washington State before becoming the Athletics Director at Southern Illinois, a position he held until returning to Washington State. Born March 28, 1945, in Walla Walla, Wash., he received his bachelor's degree from Brigham Young University in 1968 and completed his fifth-year education requirement for teaching certification at Central Washington University in 1972. He taught and served as an assistant football coach and track coach at Moses Lake High School in Washington in 1968-69, and as head football and basketball coach and counselor at Ephrata High School in Washington from 1972-80 before moving into athletics administration. Jim and his wife, Linda, have two grown children, Michelle, a lawyer in Memphis, and Jeremy, who resides in Phoenix. Both children are University of Arizona graduates. Michelle earned her law degree in May 2000 and Jeremy graduated in December 1999. The Livengoods are the proud grandparents of twin daughters, Emma and Isabella, born to Michelle and husband, Jack Murphy, in March 2009.

STADIUM


HALL F FAM FAMEE HALL OF OF FAME Class of 2010

Six different Rebel sports were represented when the UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame most recently welcomed new members on Oct. 1, 2010. Five former Rebel standout players, one head coach and a distinguished contributor joined two record-setting teams to form the Class of 2010 that was honored in ceremonies at the M Resort and then again at the UNLV football game the following evening. Also being honored that night was former Rebel football player and current CEO of the Palms, George Maloof Jr., who received the inaugural Silver Rebel Award. Born in 1987, UNLV’s Athletics Hall of Fame is now 105 members strong. Under the hall’s bylaws, former student-athletes must have completed their eligibility at least 10 years earlier to be selected. Coaches and administrators must have stopped working at the University five years previous. The hall's next class will be announced in 2012.

JEREMY ANDERSON (1996-2000) was prolific performer on the golf course and in the classroom and is the only athlete in school history to be a three-time All-American and three-time academic All-American. A member of head coach Dwaine Knight’s 1998 National Championship squad, Anderson had the unusual honor of being voted player of the year in two different conferences (1999 Western Athletic and 2000 Mountain West). DANIEL BARBER (1989-92) is one of only two All-Americans in Rebel soccer history, as he was a Freshman All-American in 1989 and then a third team selection two seasons later. JULIE CRANDALL (1995-98) is regarded as the best catcher in UNLV’s storied softball history. A multipleseason All-American, she started behind the plate for the top team in school history, helping the 1995 Rebels to a tie for third place at the Women’s College World Series. NICK GARRITANO (1991-94) was arguably the nation’s best place-kicker as a senior and he left as UNLV’s second-leading scorer in history with 240 points. RYAN LUDWICK (1997-99) played three seasons at UNLV before becoming the fourth-highest draft pick in program history. The 1997 First Team Freshman All-American was a two-time preseason All-American before going on to an All-Star MLB career. The 1994 UNLV FOOTBALL TEAM is one of two in school history to win a conference championship and head coach Jeff Horton’s squad went on to rout Central Michigan 52-24 in Las Vegas Bowl III. The 1985 UNLV MEN’S SOCCER TEAM was the winningest group in program history, setting multiple school records, including most wins and fewest losses as head coach Barry Barto’s squad finished 18-2-2 and ranked fourth. HEAD COACH DR. LARRY EASLEY (Posthumous) (1992-03) coached the UNLV men’s tennis team longer than anyone in history, led UNLV to three Big West Conference championships and produced four of UNLV’s five all-time men’s All-Americans, including two individual national champions. DISTINGUISHED CONTRIBUTOR BOB MENDENHALL is the owner and chief executive officer of the Las Vegas Paving Corporation. A longtime supporter of the UNLV program, Mendenhall most recently became a major part of a group that is building and donating a new multi-million dollar practice facility for the Runnin’ Rebels.
