Fremont Cannon Returns to Reno

After 5 years without our cannon, UNR finally brings the Fremont cannon home Saturday night with a 22-14 victory over the Running Rebels.

"For over 30 years Nevada has had a north vs. south civil war in college
football. This is not a friendly rivalry as fans from both schools have become
verbally and physically violent over the state prize, an exact replica of the
historical mountain howitzer cannon that Captain John C. Fremont towed on his
expedition of the West from 1843 to 1844. The replica was originally appraised
at over $10,000 in 1969."

Now that it is home where it belongs, let's hope it stays here for awhile.
