Maybe we should take another look at this team. Because they seem to roll BEYOND hard.

1) Wolf Pack coach Mark Fox has a ban on his team to not go out on Saturday night

Think about that. The area around the campus is so detrimental to the team, they have to lock them down on the weekends.

2) Forward Tyrone Hanson left his dorm to go to a party on Saturday

Despite being warned by the Athletic Director and having a ban placed on them by the coach, Hanson said "forget it" anyways and left to get crunked.

3) Hanson was later found beaten UNCONSCIOUS and ROBBED

Wow. Being suspended would have been bad enough for braking a team rule, but being beaten to the point of death, robbed AND THROWN OFF THE TEAM is karma opening a can of whoop-butt on you.

Oh yes, there is more.

4) Three other party goers were shot to death

Yes. Let that sink in. SHOT TO DEATH. And we're not talking about the badlands surrounding USC or something. We are talking about Reno. RENO!

From the Associated Press:

"Saili Manu and Samisone Taukitoku, both 19 of Reno, were arrested on suspicion of robbery, assault with a deadly weapon and brandishing a firearm. Their bail was set at $500,000 each.

Police said they may also be charged with the deaths of Derek Jensen, 23, Reno, a senior at the University of Nevada, Reno; former UNR student Nathan Viljoen, 23, Fallon; and Charles Kelly, 21, Truckee, Calif.

Detectives also are looking for a "person of interest" who left the scene separately.

Saili Manu, an all-state defensive tackle at Reno McQueen High School in 2005, wore his brother's Nevada football jersey to the party, police said.

Police said Hanson was arguing with Taukitoku, who had bumped him in an area where people were dancing. Taukitoku and Manu allegedly beat Hanson unconscious and stole his wallet and belongings, police said, Taukitoku and Manu both had pistols, police said.

Viljoen was shot in the kitchen, Jensen was shot in the driveway and Kelly was found in the backyard."

So there you have it. Fights. Guns. Robbery. Death. At a house party at the University of Nevada. Reno.
