The Trailblazers Got Nothin’ on Us

Since I’m in Reno for the summer, I thought I’d give y’all a little update on sports news down here. The University of Nevada, Reno has had a few problems with its football team in the past couple years. Not only is the team just plain terrible, having not had a winning season out of the last four, but in the past 19 months at least 9 players have been arrested for felonies.

Highlights include:

–Felony battery after an “incident” between a player and his girlfriend.
–Burglary and obtaining money under false pretenses (for a forged check scheme).
–Felony drug charges (for two players, this time) for dealing coke downtown.
–And my personal favorite: just two days ago, the twin brother of the player who had been charged with burglary was arrested for robbing a Wells Fargo Bank. The player then confessed to several other robberies around town.

However, there is a silver lining to all this: The Wolf Pack did beat the Huskies this past season, 28-17.
