worst facilities? You've got to be kidding me...
You guys really have no idea.....we have, far and away, the #1 basketball facilities in the conference. No questions, and with the practice facility, nobody in the conference will ever catch up.
Football's practice facilities just had 2 separate $1 million fields put in under Robinson. Our stadium was just upgraded, but its an exact replica of (I believe) Ohio State's stadium minus the upperdeck, its the same stadium. Its location sucks, the parking lots suck, the locker rooms are embarassing...but put even the current stadium on our campus and its still in the top 5 of the conference....the facilities are the worst?!?!?! LOL!! You guys are delusional
bad grammar, but I was ticked and didn't proof it...but you understand what I'm saying
oh..and btw...I love the line, "I was talking to a guy on an airplane"....you know how many people use that line to get a point across. "It wasn't me that said it!!!...it was some guy on a plane!".
You know that's a lie to try and get across a point you want to make. We all know it, you know it, so fess up. Because, if he did indeed leave UNLV for CSU, then it makes no sense....your students don't show up to basketball games. I've seen games of UNLV vs CSU at CSU where there were a few dozen students and empty seats everywhere....and if he felt like UNLV was like High School...what the $(*%& is he going to feel like when he steps into your basketball arena? That is essentially a High School arena....just because your you get it half full of students (250 students), doesn't mean they support more...we get upwards of 5-8 times that many at our games. Get out of here with your lame CSU nonsense....seriously, we probably get more students to some games than your lame fan base gets fans to games. Seriously.

You're full of it...obviously a fan of another MWC school. The fact is, our student section, for bball games, probably gets more in the seats than every team in the conference except MAYBE BYU and UNM....I've been to most arenas, I've been to the Utah vs UNLV game the past few years and I can count nearly on my hands the students that showed up...okay not that low, but its been probably 2 dozen or so to the basketball games I've been to.
Football is another story, and yet our students DO go to big games, despite the fact they either have to drive 20 miles to the stadium or take a free bus. Our students show up to games....they won't show up to see a crappy football team playing a crappy football team...they're young and want a winner, and supporting a football team that's been horrendous over the past 20 years, is hard for anybody, and you can't expect the students to do it until you win.
I've always been impressed with UNLV's attendance at bball games, especially big games and conference games....we have solid attendance and to say that its easily the worst is referring to our football attendance....which would be the EXACT SAME at any conference school if they had our current success in football. Even when your teams are dominant in football, its tough to sell tickets to YOUR games and have students show up to YOUR stadiums when our crappy football team has been there...TCU, BYU, and Utah had piss poor attendance the past few years for the UNLV game.
Don't call our students out when they're at the top of the conference in attendance for basketball. If you don't know that, then you haven't paid attention or just speaking out of your...well...you know

sufferin? Really? Who cares?...you may as well want to know what every bi-polar, schizoid, homeless person thinks as well! Newsflash, RebelRobert/sufferin'lame#(*&#, is just a worthless, self-aggrandizing, critic of everything that isn't 100% his own wacked-out-in-the-head creation.
Oh...and who really cares if the guy is a BYU alum...if he was so tied to that school, why didn't his kids go there?...and to say that he killed football is laughable as he's lead a $100 million stadium renovation campaign....and his school's team is going to a bowl in consecutive years.
Another thing, Roger's is one of UNLV's largest donors. Lets just say he's the one pushing this guy's name....well? When you put up as much as he has for our school, sometimes you get to influence certain decisions....you don't have to like that, but you don't donate millions of dollars to UNLV either.
