The Wolf Pack used a dominant rush offense and near-perfect situational defense to beat Grambling State on Saturday 49-13.

On Wednesday night, Flipside and the Lombardi Recreation Center hosted “Get Rec’d” as part of the Welcome Week. Students and staff from nearly all sports were represented at the event where tournaments and games were held to get students involved with the many intramurals offered.

Student supporters had high hopes for Sen. Barack Obama’s acceptance speech Thursday night.

They hoped for an electric speech, one that would define Obama’s Democratic run for president and one that would lure undecided voters to their candidate of choice.

Students started…

This past week, the director of campus relations created a new set of media policies for everyone involved in the executive branch: the vice president, campus clubs, campus programming, homecoming and the attorney general.

“Way to keep the ’secret’ in secret society”

I’m jumping into answering that question by returning to school after a 10-year hiatus. I am a 42-year-old divorced mother of two children, ages 17 and nine. On our plate we have private school, college applications for my son, swim team, football, Girl Scouts, work for me and now I’m going back to school. Have I totally lost my mind?

This may not be the once possible Brett Favre/Aaron Rogers quarterback controversy the Green Bay Packers envisioned earlier this summer, but it is a situation that Nevada coach Chris Ault has kept non-specific, until yesterday.

I worked as a news reporter this summer and covered a variety of general news assignments, through which I met and talked with different people every day.

With dirt-caked skin and tattered clothes, the street boys of Kenya, Africa, struggle daily to survive. Disregarded by society and with no social system to care for the children, many boys are left to fend for themselves in the unforgiving streets.

The Wolf Pack women’s soccer team continued its abysmal pattern of losing season openers Friday at Mackay Stadium. Nevada’s 4-0 loss against UC Santa Barbara moved the Wolf Pack’s record in season openers to 1-7-1 since the program was established in 2000.

College is a unique, wonderful place where everyone is around the same age and share common interests.

The political world is engaging in its first round of shiny and ultimately semi-pointless theater at the Democratic National Convention, which started Monday and lasts until Wednesday. Held at the Pepsi Center in Denver, the convention ends with Sen. Barack Obama accepting the nomination at Mile High Stadium at Invesco Field. The Republicans follow with their convention six days later where it will be fascinating to see if any Republican Congress members attend and what type of nonsensical oddities will come out of Vice President Dick Cheney.

Nevada quarterback Colin Kaepernick will have less time this season between snaps, but he doesn’t care.

I wanted to write to you all today and officially welcome you back to campus. I hope everyone had a great summer and are anxious to get back into the swing of things.

Isaiah Frey had no idea he had trained with a former Wolf Pack Hall of Fame member before he committed to Nevada in February.
