It’s rivalry week and UNLV’s football team doesn’t need any extra motivation for Saturday’s 1 p.m. game against UNR at Sam Boyd Stadium in the annual Battle for the Fremont Cannon. But Rebels coach Tony Sanchez gave them some anyway.
After his squad reclaimed the cannon from UNR following last season’s 23-17 win in Reno, Sanchez discovered an old engraving on the inside of it poking fun at UNLV, which is 17-24 against the Wolf Pack.
“Last year when we took it apart to clean it, they had engraved ‘University of Notta Lotta Victories’ inside of it,” he said.
