Nevada LB Ezra Butler has been suspended for the Sept. 1 game at Nebraska (unspecified violation of team policy). The Pack will now face the Huskers without 2 of their 3 returning all-WAC players (C Dominic Green out with a broken foot). Slim chance is getting slimmer.

This isn't good. The WAC needs some marquee wins against BCS opponents very badly. I was hoping that Nevada, La Tech, SJSU, Fresno State, Hawaii and Boise State could give us one. For Hawaii and Boise State, beating Washington won't be a marquee win, necessarily. So that left SJSU, Fresno State and Nevada. I think it's pretty safe to bet that Idaho, NMSU and Utah State won't pull anything out of their hats.

Hate to hear that. I am still hoping for a good effort by the Pack against the bugeaters....

Not good. Butler is a great player...and he sure would have helped.
