I've only heard rumors and they may be completely without merit that we are trying to dump UNLV next year and get a home game. Anyone else hear that?

I don't necessarily want to get another home game, but I wouldn't mind finding a better team to play than UNLV, especially after last year.

Seriously. The only good thing about playing them is the fact that they're based in Vegas. If we had a road game against, say, BYU, I'd have no problem dumping the game. But it's in Vegas! A few thousand rowdy ISU fans roaming the strip? It's going to be great!

Bonus: UNLV's coach might honor us with a repeat performance of his meltdown from 2006. I've watched him trip hundreds of times, and it's still funny.

I'm also planning on making my first trip to vegas that weekend. If we try to get a home game this late in the ballgame what cupcake would we schedule? I guess id rather have the road game in vegas.

If it's a somewhat decent opponent, I guess I would be for it.

I was thinking about trying to make it out to Vegas...

While we have plans to attend that game in Vegas, another home game wouldn't suck.

Most likely just a rumor right now though.

How about we schedule UCLA. It is a short drive to Vegas, and we can hit the beaches :wink:.

How about a sure win and someone we can play at home. This schedule has to be cleaned up. Unfortunatly, a W over the sisters of the poor is still a W. We have to play the scheduling game too.

Cheap rooms???????????You must be staying WAY off the strip. I've priced that weekend and if you want to stay anywhere decent it's going to average $200/night.

If you book your package on Alligent Air out of Des Moines. You can stay at decent places, on the strip, for under $100. I stayed at NY/NY for $80 earlier this summer.

For anyone who has heard this rumor, is there any idea on what type of team we would play instead? Like a BCS conference foe or are we talking a low level, mid major?
