A dozen quarterbacks were selected in the 2011 NFL draft, including Nevada Wolf Pack senior Colin Kaepernick in the second round by the San Francisco 49ers. Auburn’s Cam Newton went No. 1 overall to the Carolina Pathers followed by Washington’s Jake Locker, Missouri’s Blaine Gabbert and Florida State’s Christian Ponder in the first round. TCU’s Andy Dalton went one pick ahead of Kaepernick in the second round. Now that the Cincinnati Bengals have released Dalton, there is now just one surviving quarterback of the 12 drafted in 2011 that still has a job in the NFL.

It is becoming obvious that the stars of NASCAR’s iRacing season are the young drivers with the most experience in the virtual racing world. William Byron, with literally hundreds of virtual race wins, went on to take his second event in a row at Richmond last Sunday while the seasoned veterans struggled. Joey Logano and Clint Bowyer both complained that lack of “seat feel” handicapped their driving styles.
Sports fodder … Leave it to the Mountain West to liven up the NFL Draft. The only Mountain West pick during the first round Thursday might have been the most intriguing moment of the entire evening. Utah State quarterback Jordan Love was taken by the Green Bay Packers with the No. 26 overall pick. The conversation wasn’t so much that Love was taken with the No. 24 pick.
Disappointing, sad and frustrating were the first words out of many seniors from Carson, Douglas and Dayton High Schools after finding out the spring sports season had been canceled Thursday due to COVID-19.

Never leave a Reno Aces game early. If there is one thing we’ve learned after enjoying Triple-A baseball in Northern Nevada for the past 11 springs and summers, it is to remain in the ballpark until the final out.
Is Jordan Love worth a first-round NFL draft pick? Practically every self-appointed NFL draft expert thinks so. The Utah State quarterback wasn’t even the best quarterback named Love last year in the Mountain West. That honor belonged to San Jose State’s Josh Love, the conference’s Offensive Player of the Year. Jordan Love was named honorable mention quarterback. Jordan Love was awful against the Wolf Pack last year, completing 13-of-31 passes for 169 yards with a touchdown and an interception.

Racing lost one of its legends last week, as Sir Stirling Moss took his last checkered flag at the age of 90 after a long illness. Considering the era in which he raced, it is amazing that he lived as long as he did. Moss was an absolute wizard in a race car, driving in the era of open cockpit cars with skinny tires, no seat belts or roll bars, minimal helmets, and too many fatalities.

The Nevada Wolf Pack football program has spent the bulk of its history toiling in obscurity but that doesn’t mean it has avoided playing future National Football League quarterbacks – 40, to be exact.

Last Sunday NASCAR showed us frayed tempers at Bristol are not confined to racing there physically. The iRacing version of Bristol created just as much drama as the real thing. Bubba Wallace got so upset about an altercation with Clint Bowyer that he “rage quit,” a gaming expression meaning he left in a huff. Then Kyle Larson and Daniel Suarez got involved in a retaliation battle that caused race officials to park them both

Jay Norvell is likely going to have to wait until at least next year to see his first Nevada Wolf Pack recruit selected in the NFL draft. Norvell has coached the Wolf Pack for three seasons and has yet to recruit, sign and develop a player the NFL has deemed worthy of a draft pick. Offensive lineman Austin Corbett was picked in the second round in 2018 by the Cleveland Browns but the Reed High graduate was brought to the Pack by former coach Brian Polian. Polian and Norvell have combined to coach the Pack for seven seasons and Corbett is the only player they have brought to Nevada that has been picked in the NFL draft.
