There was plenty of loud cheering Saturday night at Mackay Stadium, where Nevada hammered Idaho State, 49-10, in front of 23, 965 fans.
The loudest cheer of all, though, came at halftime.
A wall of sound filled Mackay at the end of the introductions for the 2020 and 2021 Wolf Pack Hall of Fame classes. That’s when former Nevada quarterback and current civil rights activist Colin Kaepernick was announced as one of the night’s inductees.
Up until his appearance on the Chris Ault Field turf, it wasn’t certain that Kaepernick, who played at Nevada from 2007 through 2010, would even be in attendance at the halftime ceremony.
