Someone in the CycloneFanatic Las Vegas!!!! thread asked for some good gambling stories from the trip.

It seems there was a totally zany cyclone fan that lost some money, and then borrowed $500 from a buddy and lost all of that in like 3 hours!

Crazy stuff.
1) I assume some Mesopotamian invented gambling like 5000 years ago. Since then there have four like four actually interesting gambling stories to those of us in the non-Tucker Max/Barstool demographic

2) most of their Vegas stories that don’t involve cyclone power chants are going to be fairy routine “drank too much in Vegas” that 98% of Americans between 20 and 70 have experienced once. But of course all these guys are going to act like they invented molly in a club bathroom sink

Well, I can tell you that a bunch of them have thrown the horns down sign to other fellow Big XII fans.

Cyclone friend of mine trying to dump the UNLV season tickets they bought on Facebook. Lol
Lolololololol. You could’ve walked up and gotten tickets last night, but buy season tickets and then have to dump them. Iowa State fans buying their own dumb bullshit is hilarious.

Is your friend always a stupid person?

The attendance for UNLV's other home game was 21,000 vs. Eastern Washington. There's a decent chance ISU fans were in the minority last night.
There were more ISU fans there and it wasn't even close. Not a brag, just a statement of the obvious.

Congrats. Maybe you guys have found a suitable rival.

How many fans did Eastern Washington bring?
Not many but is it hard for you to believe that UNLV had a much bigger turnout of home team fans for their first game of the year and the opening of a multi billion dollar stadium than this game where they could sell their tickets on the secondary market and pay for the rest of the year?

It's not like I'm saying ISU brought 50,000 game to Vegas, but the crowd (from TV, and texts and pictures from friends there) was definitely over half ISU fans. Which is why both Iowa State and UNLV signed on for the game.

28,000 is plausible. That’s not “take over” territory like the dorks think, though.

I think the point being that there was probably just shy of 20,000 ISU fans there might have been slightly under the hyped amount. It’s still a good amount of fans for a road game

This is Iowa State.

It’s fine. It’s good, even. They, however, have to pretend it something that’s never been seen before by humanity.

How many schools from a P5 conference would play UNLV on the road?
