UNLV Runnin' Rebels Shark Entrance

[Magua]

Not sure where else to put this, and can't find a thread for UNLV or the Runnin Rebs of the early 90s.

BUT, does anyone know here I can get a video of the Jaws Themed Entrance they had back then when they entered the arena at home? I can't seem to find anything on youtube and googling it gives me a bunch of stuff with people talking about it but no actual video...

edit: I found

and just have to skip ahead to the 18:55 mark but it's still not very good :(

Was at UNLV couple years ago for daughter's HS 'showcase' tournament. In parking spot #1, right smack dab in front of the basketball arena is a reserved parking place for Mr. Tarkanian. In front of the 'arena that Tark built' is the way the bball coach said it. Don't know that he's ever used it, but he is a revered person at UNLV. A statue, wow.

He was at Fresno State (just up the road from me), as basketball coach after UNLV, and there not so much. His kids got into so much trouble and academic stupor that he couldn't recreate the formula that worked for him at Long Beach State, and UNLV. By the way, didn't Eddie Ratliff (Linden McKinley) play for Tark at LB State? That arena (called 'The Beach) is also quite wonderful (another bball showcase trip).

FWIW, Ratliff went to Columbus East High School winning consecutive state titles in 1968 and 1969. East had a hell of a team: including Dwight Lamar (now Louisiana-Lafayette), Nick Conner (Illinois), and Eddie Ratliff (Long Beach State).
