like I've said before...if you need a loud home crowd to win you will
never 
win a champion****p.
UNLV started the pregame fireworks but never had loud unruly fans. Once
upon 
a time when the Rebels were playing Utah State someone rigged a large
water 
bomb to go off right behind the bench and it soaked Tark completely...he 
toweled off and kept coaching...I'm pretty sure Utah State never won a 
champion****p...the Rebels on the other hand...
