A healthy sports rivalry to win annual bragging rights for the largest rivalry trophy in all of college sports between the Nevada Wolf Pack and UNLV Runnin’ Rebels.

If you aren’t already, become a part of a great rivalry in college sports by backing the Nevada Wolf Pack. Come out to watch the University of University of Nevada Wolf Pack (Nevada) vs. University of Nevada, Las Vegas Runnin’ Rebels (UNLV, also known in some circles as “Nevada Southern”) battle it out as a part of the Nevada Governor’s Series this Saturday, October 26, 2013 at Mackay Stadium on the University of Nevada, Reno campus.

If you have navigated the pages of Windy Pinwheel, you probably know by now that we are Nevada Proud and Battle Born for the Wolf Pack. Please notice that we are the correct Wolf Pack spelled with two words and not the North Carolina State Wolfpack; besides their colors are backwards. Who puts the color red/scarlet on a wolf mascot? It is just plain wrong.

This Saturday is the annual battle for the Fremont Cannon, college football’s largest and most expensive “trophy”. “Today’s cannon is a replica of a gun that accompanied Captain John C. Fremont on his expedition through Oregon, Nevada and California in 1843-44… reconstructed in 1970 as the gift of the Nevada Mines Division of Kennecott Copper Corporation to the students of the two campuses of the University of Nevada.” Each year the Nevada Wolf Pack and the UNLV Rebels “battle” it out on one of the two turf fields that exist in Nevada to play college football. According to NevadaWolfPack.com, “The [Nevada] Wolf Pack won the first game between the universities in 1969, but the Rebels were the first team to capture the cannon in 1970 by a score of 42-20.” Ever since, the Nevada Wolf Pack have fought to keep the cannon blue. “Overall, UNR Nevada Wolf Pack leads UNLV Runnin’ Rebels 22-15.” writes Las Vegas Weekly on October 10, 2012 and Nevada won in 2012, making the total 23-15.

Respecting the Fremont Cannon

One bit of history you may not know, if you are not familiar with the Fremont Cannon, is that in 2000, when UNLV won the game, students stormed the field after UNLV won back the Fremont Cannon after several years and in the excitement, the cannon fell out of the hands of the students and broke into pieces shortly after it was spray painted red (Source: Las Vegas Weekly). This was the period in which I was enrolled at the University of Nevada, from 1999 through 2003. I was terribly disappointed in what had happened and hope that it doesn’t happen ever again.

We have a cannon to defend. We must keep it blue and in the hands of the Nevada Wolf Pack. I am not suggesting that we are more responsible with this majestic and iconic symbol of what it means to be a Nevada college student. However, what I am suggesting is that we need to defend the Fremont Cannon with all of the heart and passion we can muster each and every year and devoted fans of the Wolf Pack.

It’s truly an honor for the Wolf Pack to play for such a great college sports trophy. It is an enduring symbol of what it means to go to and be an alumnus of Nevada.

Go Pack!

Here’s a great video to get you pumped up about the game this weekend showcasing the The Governor’s Series from YouTube. Enjoy.

Battle Ready, Battle Born for University of Nevada Wolf Pack Football

It’s that time of year again. Men and women (but let’s be honest, mostly men) who previously used Sundays to finish chores around the house and shuttle kids to events now plant their bottoms firmly on the coach surrounded by snacks and drinks. Yes, it’s time for the University of Nevada Wolf Pack football season.

To celebrate its return, we decided to cheer on our alma mater, the University of Nevada Wolf Pack football team, in their first home game of the season against South Florida University. It was a long day for us as we got up to see the balloon races that weekend, but this was our first chance to see the team in years so we decided to risk nap time with Mr. C and cart him to his first live University of Nevada Wolf Pack Football game.

First and most importantly, we arrived about an hour early to find parking. We were ecstatic to find parking in the close parking garage next to Mackay Stadium. We would learn the error of our ways trying to leave the multi-level garage once the game ended (hello 30 minute traffic delay), but ignorance is bliss and we were happy to park and complete our next task, finding Wolf Pack gear.

The UNR bookstore is not the only place in town to find school gear. I frequently see shirts and hats in grocery stores and Silver and Blue Outfitters in Meadowood Mall (update: now across Virginia Street near Lawlor Events Center as well) has a huge assortment of items, but that requires a bit more pre-planning than we put into this trip. Fortunately, the bookstore was open and once we were properly attired, we made our way to Mackay Stadium.

Note to University of Nevada Wolf Pack football fans: at this game, Silver and Blue Outfitters brought a portable store inside the stadium selling their gear.

The University of Nevada Wolf Pack football game was in the afternoon so we opted to buy seats underneath the home stand on the west side of the stadium. I highly recommend getting a seat high up under this stand when going to afternoon games early in the season. The sun sinks behind the stand and fortunately you are in the shade. Once the weather cools it’s not as big of a deal, but the first few games it’s a necessity.

We arrived inside the stadium with about 20 minutes to spare before the game began, so we had some time to wander around. Fortunately, the Wolf Pack knows that some of their fans are pint size and have included activities that appeal to them, including bounce houses. And of course, the mascots Alphie and Wolfie Jr., always take time to entertain the kids.

Mackay Stadium has plenty of food options. There’s the usual stadium fare of hot dogs, hamburgers, and chips & salsa. For those wanting healthier options, Port of Subs is on location with pre-made sandwiches to choose from. As long as you’re not dying for a smorgasbord of international cuisine, you will find something for your family.

All in all, minus the most depressing hiccup of UNR losing an 11 point lead within the last 5 minutes of the fourth quarter, the game was a blaring success. We’re definitely looking forward to our next game (with a hopeful better outcome for the Pack)! In the meantime…

“The strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack!”
