UNLV's student section has amped up the energy at Runnin' Rebels games in the Thomas & Mack over the past two years. "The Rebellion," as it's now dubbed, has gone over the top with its oversized cardboard cutouts of players and local celebrities. The Rebels final regular season home game is March 9 against Fresno State.
