back in this era, espn had this gimmick called "big monday". they'd run a game from the big east (i was in l.a. at the time, so it was like "the big east....who cares?", then the big 10, and then one from the big west (which this is). i had been into unlv for a few years by here (they're the only team i've ever rooted for), as their home games were on channel 9 in l a., and the games,where the rebs had to go to the thunderdome were the highlights of the regular season. they wouldn't start until like 9:00 west coast time, which gave all the ucsb students all day to drink and get keyed up and crazy. tark and ucsb's coach, jerry pimm, were really good friends, and pimm would host tark on his boat when unlv came to santa barbara. if you think your arena is loud, it isn't. THIS is loud. i know i stayed up late to watch this the first time.
Robert - would love to see some more Rebel road games from that magical 1990-91 season. For example, the games at UC-Irvine (which I went to) and the game at CSU-Fullerton. Titan Gym back then was like a high school gym!
