Exclusive– ‘Just Another Empty Suit’: Friends of Dan Schwartz Ad Details How Nevada AG Adam Laxalt Took Money from ‘Every Lobbyist and Casino in Town’
A Friends of Dan Schwartz ad obtained by Breitbart News exclusively details how Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt has “taken money from about every lobbyist and casino in town.” The ad opens with a quote from the Reno Gazette-Journal that reads, “Adam Laxalt, ‘Just another empty suit.'”The article from the Reno Gazette-Journal notes that: Laxalt lacks the professional qualifications, temperament and competence to be governor. He’s proven to be a terrible lawyer and an even worse attorney general. There is so much evidence: A candid review from his brief stint at a law firm which rated him as borderline incompetent; his inappropriate advocacy for billionaire Sheldon Adelson; a refusal to answer questions; a vote against pardoning an innocent man; and his incessant, empty, and dishonest advertising. The ad continues, “Adam Laxalt answers few questions and offers no solutions, he’s taken money from … [Read more...] about Exclusive– ‘Just Another Empty Suit’: Friends of Dan Schwartz Ad Details How Nevada AG Adam Laxalt Took Money from ‘Every Lobbyist and Casino in Town’
Game day depth chart vs. Nevada
Joe Gray will make his first start for San Jose State tonight vs. Nevada. (Staff photo/Jim Gensheimer) Here’s a look at tonight’s depth chart for San Jose State against Nevada. Nothing major here, although an OR has been placed in between Jarrod Lawson and Thomas Tucker again and the slot position has been removed, for whatever that means. No major notes today. Chris Gonzalez may wear No. 85 to double as a blocking tight end. Normally, he wears No. 74 as the No. 3 center and a special teams player (he had a big block on Tyler Ervin’s punt return touchdown in the opener).

WAC football: Deal reached with Fresno State and Nevada
So it is done. After two months of hard negotiations, the WAC and its soon-to-be former members reached an exit agreement. Nevada and Fresno State will each pay a $900,000 penalty for leaving after July 1, which is hardly the $5 million the WAC wanted. But both schools will participate in the WAC next season, which is a much more important issue for the conference. It couldn’t afford to be a six-team league — not even for one season. (Texas State and UT-San Antonio could be invited in the next month but aren’t expected to join until 2012.) Now the conference has a much better chance of maintaining reasonable bowl alliances and a viable ESPN contract — and it will definitely keep its automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. “Any earlier departure would have caused the six remaining WAC schools severe financial hardship and threatened the automatic qualifying status in several NCAA sports, including men’s basketball,” WAC commissioner Karl Benson … [Read more...] about WAC football: Deal reached with Fresno State and Nevada
College football picks of the week: Stanford beats UCLA, Alabama rolls, Nevada rises
This posts combines Pac-12 and national picks, with the focus on Stanford-UCLA. I think the Cardinal will win. It might not be as complete a beating as we saw six days ago, but the Cardinal will win and cover the 10-point opening line. Three reasons: 1. The matchup. Stanford’s brand of power football is problematic for the Bruins, as we saw last week (35-17) … and last year (45-19) … and the year before that (35-0). The Cardinal has too much brute force, especially with its front seven matched against UCLA’s young offensive line (see: seven sacks, nine tackles-for-loss last week). 2. The conditions. Aside from the fact that the stadium will be half empty at kickoff — and maybe long after kickoff — the rain and soggy field would seem to favor Stanford’s style of play (straight-ahead power). What’s more, Cardinal redshirt freshman quarterback Kevin Hogan has loads of experience playing in the rain. In fact, Hogan’s bad-weather … [Read more...] about College football picks of the week: Stanford beats UCLA, Alabama rolls, Nevada rises
