UNLV’s New Era has arrived and it kicks off at 4:34 p.m. Las Vegas time Saturday at Northern Illinois on CBS Sports Network. First-year coach Tony Sanchez begins his tenure as a 23-point underdog, bigger odds even than last year’s season opener at Arizona, which UNLV lost by 45 as 21-point underdogs.

Brittany Bronson’s résumé is admirable by any standard: She’s a monthly op-ed contributor to The New York Times and an adjunct English instructor at UNLV; she has a master’s degree in creative writing and—like more academics than you might realize—she’s a cocktail server on the Strip.

The Weekly caught up with Bronson to talk about the state of education and how rude customers react when they find out the women in the aprons are more educated than they are.
