LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) – UNLV Football Head Coach Barry Odom will celebrate the first day of his program's spring practice by taking a turn riding a live bull – and fans are invited to watch – all in the name of benefiting his program.
 
A unique event dubbed "Horns & Helmets" will take place the night of Saturday, March 2 at the South Point Hotel. Fans can purchase a package that starts with a meet & greet with Coach Odom and legendary Hall of Fame bull rider Tuff Hedeman, including appetizers and drinks from 5-6 p.m. That will be followed by the Tuff Hedeman Bull Riding Tour event at the hotel's equestrian center, scheduled to feature 24 elite bull riders participating in a three-round, tournament-style competition. At intermission, Odom, the 2023 Mountain West Coach of the Year, will climb aboard for his much-anticipated bull ride.
 
Tickets for "Horns & Helmets" are $150 each, with proceeds going to the Rebel Football Foundation. Buy your tickets for the memorable night HERE or visit SouthPointArena.com.
 
UNLV kicks off its spring practice earlier that same day and the team's Spring Showcase, free and open to the public, will take place at Allegiant Stadium on April 6.
