Mackay 50 – No. 13: UNLV edges Pack in 'beer bottle' game

The newly renovated Mackay Stadium will celebrate its 50th anniversary this season. We will count down the 50 most memorable games in the stadium's history with one game per day until the Wolf Pack's 2016 season opener Sept. 2 against Cal Poly. Here is today's entry.

  • Key stat: 1 - The number of plastic beer bottles that hit John Robison in the heada during UNLV's win. The man who threw the can spent five days in jail. "The public humiliation has been horrible," he later said.

    In short: This win was UNLV's fourth straight in the Fremont Cannon game and while that was noteworthy it wasn't as noteworthy as Robinson being pelted by a plastic beer bottle at halftime.
