Chris Murray, Jim Krajewski and Duke Ritenhouse discuss sports, but more importantly, their favorite Thanksgiving side dishes and pies.
In its dream scenario, the Nevada football team will beat UNLV on Saturday afternoon at Mackay Stadium, roll the Fremont Cannon from its sideline to midfield and take a team photo with the trophy.
That’s the plan, but the Wolf Pack (2-9, 2-5 Mountain West) will have to prove over 60 minutes Saturday that it’s the better team, which will require beating a UNLV (5-6, 4-3) squad playing for a bowl berth.
The ultimately prize – the Fremont Cannon, a 545-pound behemoth first awarded in 1970 – means a lot to players on both sides of the rivalry.
