Rivalries seem to bring out the best -- and sometimes the worst -- in coaches, players and fans.
When it comes to bragging rights in the Silver State, there is no love lost between archrivals UNLV and Nevada. Each team looks to exploit the slightest advantage.
Take for instance last season, when Nevada had famed boxing voice Michael Buffer announce the starting lineups when UNLV was in Reno. The Wolf Pack went on to a lopsided 27-point win.
A little more than three weeks ago, UNLV played perhaps its most complete game of the season and KO'd the host Wolf Pack, without Buffer making an appearance.
