Boise State was loaded for bear after the lackluster effort against the Aztecs. The three vets came to play tonight. Rebels looked a lot worse than last year and played like it. Kruger is nothing like the old man. 

Biggest surprise was Boise State burning true freshman Carmichael’s redshirt halfway through the season. Likely because of poor three point shooting to this point. 

I was at the SDSU curbstomp on Saturday and walked away from that game thinking a three game losing streak was inevitable for the Broncos. Did not expect a win against UNLoLV, much less a blowout.

Yikes. Seems like KK is about two years past his expiration date. 

I said after 8 games into his tenure that he should be fired.

UNLV fans tried to tell you. 

I was thinking blowout, but wanted to be optimistic. 

It's pretty clear what this team is, based on what they've shown us.

It's also pretty clear what level of coach Kevin Kruger is at this point.

The Dave Rice incel tards who were on a warpath to kill the football program are pretending like that never happened.  The dorks who were wearing the Maxon/TKM shirts.  The dorks who were clamoring for us to kill football and go play in the WCC.

We could have a real discussion right now to just kill off UNLV BB and put all that money into FB.

Basketball hardly costs any money.  Go and hire a real coach, and our problems are solved.  I think Russell Turner should be very high on the list.

I think Tim Duryea should be all alone at the top.

The Rebels played really well for about a 5-10 minute stretch in the second half. I noticed Whaley didn’t play and he gave us big problems last year. So injuries could play a part. Or, they just had a bad game. Boise State has had several of those.  Not sure Id write the season off yet.

I watched the last five mins of the first half. Was watching the more competitive. UNM-UW tilt. Came back after that game and it was a blow out. 

It was obviously quite the Boise highlight reel.

It's actually pretty simple.  If you're not a team full of NBA prospects,  YOU NEED TO PLAY FUCKING DEFENSE

9 Assists. 0 Turnovers.

That's nothing to be proud of or toot your horn over. Nobody can tell after 8 games if a coach is going to pan out or not.

Yes you can. Some people have it, some people don’t. You can tell if you look.
