Since we last left you our UNLV Rebels have continued their undefeated ways going 2-0-1 in their last three matches. The wins were against San Jose State (1-0) and Incarnate Word (5-1) and the draw versus CSU Bakersfield. Links to the official UNLV write-ups of the matches are below:
SJSU here.
CSUB here.
Incarnate Word here.
So at UNLV''s fabulous (and FREE) tailgate this past Sunday, in the midst of our enjoyment of fabulous food and drink-stuffs we see a sign posted in our section. A sign that wasn't there the previous match. This is that sign:

So at UNLV''s fabulous (and FREE) tailgate this past Sunday, in the midst of our enjoyment of fabulous food and drink-stuffs we see a sign posted in our section. A sign that wasn't there the previous match. This is that sign:
Apparently the mother of (won't say the team's name but it rhymes with Fakersbield) keeper did not take too kindly the friendly, in-good-fun banter directed at her baby boy. And another chant that *may* (read: did) contain an f-bomb rankled some other soccer moms during the match. Hence the lovely sign.
Now, we are in no way an "ultras" group. We are definitely more about the supporting of our teams then the abusing of the opposition. Do we try to throw the opposing keeper off his game? Yep. Will the occasional word you don't hear on TV slip out of someone's mouth during the course of a match? It is certainly possible. But compared to what's out there we are PG-13 at worst. It does tickle us that this sign was made, though.
On another note, the Mobsters have announced Green Valley High School to be their home field for the 2016 season. It's an all-grass field (which the boys will love), soccer-specific (no gridiron lines or running track) and the seats will be right on top of the action. Sounds like nothing but win to us!
Last two Rebels home games are this Friday and Sunday. Get on out there and let's keep supporting Las Vegas soccer!
