UNLV’s loss on Saturday was an ugly one. Any momentum the UNLV Rebels (1-3) football program had scrapped together 15 games into the Tony Sanchez era seemed to disappear into the Nevada desert on Saturday night. This weekend at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, the Rebels turned in a sloppy performance against an Idaho Vandals team that entered the game as more than two touchdown...

With their first home game in two weeks, the Rebels looked to be the favorites but Idaho had other plans. Taking control of the game early, Idaho held the lead for most of the way until late in the fourth...

It was the Rebels' first season-opening victory since 2009 when they beat Sacramento State. On the third play from scrimmage, Boyd caught a pass over the middle and raced for a 56-yard touchdown.

To say that the UNLV Rebels haven’t had a lot of success on the gridiron would be an understatement as they have only been to a bowl game four times in their 47-year history. However, they are looking to turn things around this year and they know it starts in the weight room. In just his second season as a college football coach, Tony Sanchez is looking to lead the Rebels to success...

The UNLV Rebels were left high and dry when Chris Beard left his position as head coach for the same job at Texas Tech just one week after accepting the job in Vegas. However, the Rebels have been moving fast and already have identified a replacement. UNLV offered a five-year, $3.7 million contract to Marvin Menzies.

By Matt Hladik Saturday was the fifth annual Mary Kline Classic in West Orange, N.J. The event features some of the best high school basketball talent in the country, and it features a customary dunk contest. UNLV signee Derrick Jones was known as a ridiculous dunker before the event, but what he did in the evening’s dunk contest was downright unreal. Jones won the event by jumping...

Could the UNLV Rebels finally be getting a new stadium? If they do, it would appear that the university has some big plans that would help generate revenue throughout the year.

And while 25 years may have passed since the team accomplished the feat, it’s clear that they’re still as close as ever. Last week former Runnin’ Rebels head coach Jerry...

I’ve just been informed that CBB and Fresno State legend Jerry Tarkanian has passed away....

During last weekend's football opener between Arizona and UNLV, one Wildcats fan got a little tired of the crowd having too much fun bouncing a beach ball around the stands. So when the colorful ball ended up in his direction, the grumpy man in khaki shorts ruined everybody's fun by stomping every last breath from its being before unceremoniously flinging the flattened plastic remains...

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Former UNLV player Savon Goodman, a 6-foot-6, 215-pound forward, has signed a letter of intent with Arizona State.
