Greetings from Nevada

[BattleReady]

No UNR, buddy. They have stated that they hate that as much as we hate UL-L

Nah, it's fine when referring to the University, but the sports teams are Nevada.

Same with Louisiana.

Crazy side note, State law makes hyphens illegal when it comes to the school name.

You'll notice I was referring to the campus I attended as UNR. Considering the amount I spent on tuition and the time I spent in classes all across that campus, I believe I would know how to properly refer to the academic institution. If anyone, especially Wolfpack fans, have a problem with me referring to the academic institution located in Reno in the same manner that the locals do... well, we all know how impolite my implication can be from here...

In my experience, they locally (there) don't have an issue with UNR for the school, even the website is "unr.edu". We have a different perspective here because people tend to hate ULL regardless of it's usage. I believe they have an easier going perspective toward UNR for the school due to the fact they haven't had the amount of opposition that we face in the branding issue. I think, were it not for the amount of flack that this school catches from other in-state schools about the "Louisiana" branding, there wouldn't be any heartburn over the use of ULL in academic references.

I got it! Geaux UNR academics!

Are you going to make the trip to New Orleans? I know it's kind of short notice, but I hope there's a good showing of Wolfpack fans. I'd like to see y'all receive the kind of Louisiana hospitality that i'm sure y'all missed out on from LA Tech, back in the WAC days.

My apologies, I didn't mean to pile on. I'm not sure how, but I never saw the reply from BattleReady before mine. If I had, I would've let it lie.

No sweat!

Was in Reno for football game at Nevada back when. Lost game and lost some $$ at casinos. Love Nevada (state and school). Spent cold days/nights in Independence Mts north of Elko starting up a gold mine back in 80s. Lots of game and lots of ice. During one visit got to see the Cajuns play Reno in Bball. That was fun. I think we won. I know I didn't at the Sportsman in Elko. And the Basque food was amazing in Elko. Good eating. Reno sure a lot bigger than Elko and Ely. And easier to fly in and out of too.

I'd really love to, but can't. As much as we like to make fun of the Potato Bowl, that's the only game I could've attended in person, while a trip to N'awlins would probably be at least two and a half mortgage payments' worth of expenses I can't justify right now. >_<

Basque food? You talking about tongue and rocky mountain oysters? An ex-neighbor in Bakersfield CA, which has a lot Basque took us to a restaurant there and I never was so careful ordering from a menu. They loved the stuff, though. It was their favorite eating place.
