New website, www.RebelNation.Net, debuts

Those of you who used to look forward to getting your copy of Rebel Nation every Thursday will now find much of the same content and more on our new website  www.rebelnation.net which started up this morning.

Columns by UNLV coaches Mike Sanford and Lon Kruger and recruiting gurus Tom Lemming and Bob Gibbons can now be accessed on the Internet site as well as blogs by Rebel football star Ryan Wolfe, golfer Brett Kanda, Jeff Wollard, photographer Louie Traub, Channel 8 morning anchor Dave McCann and myself. ESPN 1100 broadcaster Dave Cokin will also break down the games in the Mountain West Conference each week and you will also find this week’s “Where Are They Now?” article on former Rebel star Hunkie Cooper.

Only about 40 percent of the site is currently up and running and new features will be added almost daily so we ask for your patience as we expand. Team pages for all Mountain West and Pac-10 Conference schools as well as Nevada, Hawaii and Notre Dame are up and have in-depth files on this week’s games as provided by The Sports Xchange.

Each team page also a scoreboard for that week’s football game. At the bottom of each scoreboard you will also find game previews, matchups, recaps and stats as provided by The Sports Network along with links to live odds.

Like I wrote earlier, this is still a work in progress so please be patient if you should run into some technical problems on the site. Please email me your comments/suggestions for the site to sguiremand@reviewjournal.com. Hope you enjoy our new website!
