In the glory days our popularity grew from CBS and networks alike. Although, speaking of ESPN, did anyone see the 1990 national championship game on ESPN Classic Wednesday? Man...those guys were dang good. I shouldn't have watched it though, it makes ya spoiled.

But the deal with CBS College Sports (formerly CSTV) and Versus should eventually pay off, since they're owned by CBS, which broadcasts the NCAA tourney. After two years in a row of having some NCAA tourney success and with three starters returning next year, plus 7-footer Beas Hamga eligible to play then, UNLV should get some national TV games on the regular CBS network as well.

spoonjames wrote on March 21, 2008 11:18 AM: i love these comments! Kellogg obviously doesn't belong on CBS (or anywhere else) as an analyst, and yes ESPN and their anti-UNLV east coast bias is showing, but we all know this already. Let them get all excited about Kent St this year and Ga Tech last year, and we just come along and expose the lack of knowledge. Rebels are back, and the major networks better get used to it.

Good job yesterday, Rebels!!
Glad BYU got beat!!

Jerry Wayne wrote on March 21, 2008 09:22 AM: Guys... personally I like being the underdog. It keeps our team motivated.

We won't get national coverage until our conference continually shakes things up in the tournament. I hate BYU with a passion, but if they had won the game versus A&M it would have helped. I'm not mad though, I love to see them lose.

ESPN did show a very small clip from the MWC Tournament. But remember, the geniuses in charge of our conference sold the rights to our games. Why would ESPN want to highlight games they can't play?

Camron wrote on March 21, 2008 07:20 AM: Mike I'm not sure if you meant ESPN, but they too avoided the MWC tournament. I stayed up at night waiting for highlights that never came. That's OK, we beat their precious Kent State and now they are forced to talk about us cuz we're playing Kansas. Choke on that win Kellogg's ESPN troup of frosted FLAKES!

Mike wrote on March 21, 2008 06:41 AM: You failed to mention how CBS totally snubbed UNLV during the Mtn West tournament. When the Rebels won, CBS didn't mention the game, or that the Rebels were in the NCAA field, or even post the score. That was deliberate. They covered every other conference to death with scores & highlights. Like the whole country was waiting for the Coppin State result? The cast of commentators mentioned are a bunch of jerks. They belong outside the arena parking cars.
