Rebels assemble in Dallas for fun-filled bowl week

[Harry]

A voice in the lobby bellowed, “Welcome to paradise!” and while the Hyatt Regency Dallas may not be the destination that phrase brings to mind for most people, it feels that way to the UNLV football team.

Most of the players arrived Saturday to their home away from home for Wednesday’s Heart of Dallas Bowl against North Texas at Cotton Bowl Stadium. Considering how important UNLV’s first bowl game since 2000 is to the players participating, they probably could have showed up at the Bates Motel feeling cheery.

“I’m excited to see what they have us doing,” offensive lineman Brett Boyko said of the bowl events this week.

UNLV and UNT both practiced Saturday afternoon and then met for a reception and their visit to the gift suite in the evening. Other events scheduled include a charity event, a kids’ camp and a trip to Sunday’s Dallas Stars hockey game.

Did I read or hear on a YouTube where both teams will be guests of the Dallas Stars who play the St. Louis Blues in a match which begins at 5:00 PM today and televised on FSSW?

If not...please disregard.
