Good stuff. Didn't even think of the time zone change. Very similar to west coast NFL teams playing so poorly in EST time zone games. Every little bit helps.

Nice. Hope that Central Time Zone thing holds up.

I'm not buying it. One game in the central time zone is a mighty small sample size to say, "UNLV doesn't travel well to the Central Time Zone." One might consider that the reason UNLV lost by 28 to Minnesota is that Minnesota had a pretty good team this year. The week after Minnesota, UNLV lost at home by 45 to Arizona. Are we somehow going to blame that on the Central Time Zone as well?

The time change might be a slight factor, but the team will probably be in Dallas a few days before the game, which should be plenty of time to adapt to a two-hour difference.

All of this. More laziness from Cowlishaw.

Their graphics guy even has the wrong school from Michigan in his Buffalo Wild Wings preview.

Vegas and Dallas may be two different worlds, but they aren't a world apart. Give me a break on the time zone thing having much of an effect at all. Laramie Lee and Marcus Trice's hitting will be much more of a factor.

Well they say it takes you one full day to recover per hour and two days per hour if your going to something physical. UNLV would be right on that line so I do not see it as a huge deal. It would be a bigger deal if we went there I believe. This won't be an excuse when we win.
