UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, LAS VEGAS
(Ms. TITUS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Ms. TITUS. Mr. Speaker, the annual Battle for Nevada between the
University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and the University of Nevada, Reno, is
not just a football game played once a year; it is a time-honored
tradition that reflects the best of Nevada's sports rivalries. The
victor not only wins bragging rights for a year, but also the coveted
Fremont Cannon, which is painted in the winning school's colors.
For 8 long years, Reno has claimed these spoils. But this past
Saturday, after a great game between Nevada's two outstanding
universities, UNLV celebrated its first victory against the Wolf Pack
since 2004 and the long-anticipated return of Fremont Cannon to Las
Vegas.
Congratulations to UNLV's coach, Bobby Hauck, and all the Rebels for
their 27-22 victory against UNR. You have made southern Nevada proud.
As part of a friendly wager placed on the game and in honor of Make a
Difference Day, my colleague, Mark Amodei from Nevada's Second
District, and I will be performing a community service project wearing
Rebels red.
Go Rebels.
