            UNR WOLF PACK WILL POUNCE ON THE TOLEDO ROCKETS

  (Mrs. VUCANOVICH asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. VUCANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to discuss an issue of 
vital importance, the Las Vegas Bowl. Tonight at 9 p.m., the Big West 
Conference champions, the University of Nevada-Reno Wolf Pack, will 
take on the University of Toledo Rockets. The Washington Times said 
today the Las Vegas Bowl will showcase some unnoticed talent.
  Disregard what my distinguished colleague, the gentlewoman from Ohio 
[Ms. Kaptur], says about the teams' previous meeting, never mind that 
they beat us 49 to 35. The statistics that we have to concentrate on 
are:
  No. 1, UNR has the No. 1 passing attack in the Nation, not Toledo; 
No. 2, UNR is the No. 1 in total offense in the Nation, not Toledo; No. 
3, UNR has a quarterback that became the first player to lead the 
Nation in total offense in consecutive seasons. Toledo does not. Alex 
Van Dyke and Toledo's Wasean Tait are a pair of overachievers on teams 
that have been largely overlooked this year despite some very 
impressive statistics. UNR played in the inaugural Las Vegas Bowl in 
1992; Toledo has never played in a Las Vegas Bowl.
  I will match the gentlewoman from Ohio, Ms. Kaptur's, glass bowl bet 
with a University of Nevada-Reno sweatshirt. The bottom line is: 
Tonight, the UNR Wolf Pack will pounce on the Toledo Rockets. Go Wolf 
Pack.
