UNLV has been the laughing stock of the academic world for decades, it's sports programs should have gotten the death sentence years ago with the towel eating,cheating idiot, get your players out of the crack house Tark. I can not tell you how many employeers I know file a resume in the garbage if the applicant has attended or a graduate of UNLV. If you want to learn how to bake a cake or valet park a car go to UNLV, if you want an education go out of town. Thugs,bumbs,trouble makers,low lifes,stumble bumbs are found on Maryland Parkway. This is a school where parents who want their delinquents out of the house and out of town send their failures. UNR has a reason to be arrogant they are a respected institution.
I am hoping you are not a UNR student, because an educated person would use some support when throwing such "bombs" at someone else.
On the other hand, if you happen to be a UNR student, well, you just showed the world which the better institution is...arrogantly so.
Okay Homer we get that you don't like UNLV, but do not make the assumption that "UNLV is a laughing stock of the academic world for decades." Really? Do you realize that UNLV has the pressure of being the only major traditional university in southern Nevada. If UNLV was not here to provide me with an education, and yes it is accredited, I would not have the opportunity to even get a degree. Yes the UNR vs. UNLV football game is usually a joke, but make sure you direct those comments where they belong.
