                    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.
