Some Casual Q & A with FCA dot ORG

It appears that Chan Gailey is also available now too. Why not the former offensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys?I think the attitude of the AD at Nevada needs to change, in order to change the tradition. First, why only allow tailgating a couple of hours before the game? Why not all morining? Second, get rid of the track already-- move it to the practice fields. Third, and this goes more towards the facilities at Nevada in general, spectators should enter the stands at the top, and work towards the bottom as the ticket-prices/seat-locations improve.My 3-cents. Keep up the good work~

Thank you very much for your kind words!

To be honest we are always out tailgating 4-5 hours before kickoff, even for the afternoon games.

The track is really in lousy condition and I'm not sure that it's even used anymore except casually.

Since Mackay, for all its charm, is designed as more of a glorified high school stadium there's really no way around the current setup. I've been a proponent of building a new stadium off the freeway on Wells where there's ample room for parking and facility AND it advertises itself AAANNNDDD has much easier access without causing the "charming" traffic debacles we have now. But we need the cash to do that and haven't we determined that there are better ways to spend that dinheiro?

I think a LOT of Groth's attitude needs to change; she's making some real strides in reducing the level of overall beligerence, but is sacrificing a LOT of what unique traditions we have developed, and I don't mean "The Ref Beats His Wife" chant. First and foremost they (athletics) are tinkering around with the marching band far more than they should be allowed, but that's a story for another day.

I'll have a blog on the Groth article in the RG-J later this eveing.

Thanks again!!!
