Bobby Petrino new OC for UNLV

It looks like UNLV is willing to sell its soul even more to win football games. I thought they had a great coach and he seemed to be a good dude and the team was heading in the right direction. Now they are going for broke with Petrino. He is going to challenge some defenses in the MW.

UTSA and Texas State are not followed in the area. Everyone here is either a Longhorns fan or an A&M fan. UTSA has been awful until this year. You never hear or see any local media or talk of either college. It might be the only one in SA, but everyone in SA is traveling to see the Longhorns or A&M
