It was labeled as East versus West and the game came down to the final play but it wasn’t your normal football game. In a World 🌎 full of over exposure it feels like another post season All-Star game gets added on a regular basis but there’s only one Shrine Bowl 🥣 and it was played last night 🌙 in the Allegiant Stadium 🏟.

The Shriners are looking at having to close down a few of their 22 hospitals 🏥 due to a combination of different factors and having a reason to learn a little more about the situation while watching 👀 some College players try to improve their draft stock felt like a win-win.

One of the fun facts about the roster breakdown was Virginia Tech placed two players on the East squad while Virginia placed two players on the victorius West squad (25-24). Not sure how the two Hoos ended up on the West team but it gave us reason to cheer for the West.

There was a small crowd for an event that is set up to be a fundraiser of major proportion for the group but hopefully the buying of the Donation only programs and the clothing will help move the needle in the right direction!

Don’t talk to the folks from the Silver State about Duke and North Carolina as they are perfectly happy to spend their energy rooting against their namesake.

The Wolfpack made the trip South tonight for a 7:30pm tipoff on Fox Sports 1. Just in case the building wasn’t going to be Red enough the folks at Raisin Canes provided free UNLV T-shirts for the early arrivals.

Just seconds away from the Under 12 timeout the Rebels lead 11-5 and the biggest crowd reaction up till now came when a 🐺🦊🐺 player missed a breakaway dunk.

New Mexico raced out to an 11 point lead but the Lady Rebels found a groove and eventually took the lead midway through the second quarter.

At the break its New Mexico 34, UNLV 32. The second half promises to be entertaining !

I think that it might finally be safe to wade back into the water 💧 here on the Campus of UNLV but the current group of hoopsters have a decent amount of fight in them.

San Jose State is today’s Mountain West opponent with the tip set for Noon at the Thomas and Mack arena .
