I was on my way back from Phoenix when my nephew texted me and told me he had been hired, I was appalled. We figured he was a place holder. There is definitely improvement in the program itself from where he took over from Hauck (now that guy shouldn't have had 5 years either), but at some point you have to get a win here and there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get he wanted to lean on guys he knew and trusted, but they just weren't good coordinators and it really cost Sanchez. The problem is Sanchez. If not them, he would’ve hired people with the same philosophy as him. He’s anti-pass in a pass happy era. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On any other staff in the MW Sanchez would’ve lucky to be a position coach. That is the honest truth. He will go back to high school or junior high school when he is fired.

He’s not going back to HS, there’s nothing for him to accomplish there. It’s either SDSU staff (they love crappy UNLV HCs) , another job at FCS, Division 2 etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many Aztecs may refer to Hoke as Fred Flintstone but that's just TIC.The only ones who were glad he left were those who got butthurt over the eleventh hour way in which he did. 1 Quote Boom goes the dynamite.

UNLV2001 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 15 hours ago, Rosegreen said: I’d rather schedule Wisconsin again, they brought a ton of fans and spent a lot of money on concessions. Unlv had big revenues when they came out to SBS. BYU fans are notorious for being frugal, don’t spend any money on concessions. There’s plenty of other schools that would travel to LV in droves and spend money. BYU should just rejoin the conference if they want to play MWC teams to fill their schedule. One thing UNLV HAS TO DO is schedule up and try to get home & home's with some serious power programs and sell the opponents fans a weekend in LV - UNLV needs to capitalize on using the stadium to sell seats & that means bringing in higher end opponents - UNLV will have 2 to 3 games a season to get decent turnout and those all come in non-conference scheduling, because I don't see many locals being all that fired up to see UNLV bungle away vs MWC teams - If UNLV can parlay a stronger non-conference schedule into better recruiting (along with the stadium, the FB complex) UNLV has the potential to move up in the MWC pecking order and who knows maybe even to the point of being relevant in bowl discussions, but to really get the local people to take notice, UNLV FB has a long ways to go to fix decades of bungling 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebels2k3 Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 16 hours ago, Rebels18 said: It's really astronomical how idiots like you continue to spout this nonsense about how taxpayers were "scammed"--Has it ever dawned on you to do some actual research on the topic instead of b*tching about it and looking like an idiot in the process? The Nevada taxpayer didn't pay a single dime towards the $750 million raised for the stadium. The funding was allocated from a $1.50 increase to hotel room taxes via the Las Vegas Convention Authority. By rule, this money is to be used to produce tourism-related revenue, which is the lifeblood of this city. It can't be allocated to dump into our overburdened school district anymore than our sales tax dollars can be collected to build a new casino. I can't think of a better investment to tourism than an NFL franchise. It is a proven fact pro-sports franchises creates jobs, support businesses, and increases real property values.---Certainly much more than another new casino ever would. The argument can be said that the net-economic benefit of a publicly funded stadium/area is rarely worth the investment.--That might be true in places like Oklahoma City, Cleveland, Minneapolis, etc. But that's not the case for Las Vegas. T-Mobile Arena wasn't publicly funded, but it was built for $375 million and is currently pulling in $165 million in revenue PER YEAR, and is the #1 grossing arena in the world. If it was publicly funded that's a slam f*cking dunk. That's just an 18k seat arena. Take the 8 NFL home games, the NFL Draft, and the Super Bowl Las Vegas will host out of the picture completely, a 70,000 seat domed venue on the Strip will produce atleast 50+ booked event nights per year that will gross hundreds of millions of dollars for decades to come. Even someone like you can see that means a ton of money for this state.

If the stadium paid for itself, how we come we decided to do bunch of favors for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this your substitute for making an actual argument yourself? This guy doesn't have a clue how the LVCA disperses funds. Las Vegas has been passed over by countless major events, concerts, award shows, etc because we didn't have a large enough venue to accommodate them. This stadium is a home run in Las Vegas, and probably a sac fly in any other city in the country. This is an honest question, do you ever get sick of being wrong all the time? You're a joke on every board you post on.

You literally said building a wall would solve CCSD's funding issues. Unless you think immigrants are pickpocketing funding for the public sector and not special interests, you are either a racist who thinks that "brown people" are harming the pristine whiteness of southern Nevada, or you are just an idiot. I'm not sure which. The fact is, the stadium deal was widely panned by several economists and experts who saw that it was a favorable deal for Mark Davis and Oakland, and had no real benefits for southern Nevada beyond giving Oakland and downtown resorts a blowjob.

Sorry. An economist who is just as stupid as you are for overlooking the fact that the LVCA would never allow hotel tax revenue to be allocated towards education. That's not what it's there for. At least armchair fans like myself are capable of forming our own opinions. You read one little article from some bloviating college professor in California and you take his word for law.

An objective economist vs right-wing fans and politicians who want to cut favorable deals for a NFL team? Hmm...I wonder who I will believe. Keep thinking more events and shows for mega resorts and stadiums will somehow bring economic benefits to Las Vegas that will be even near negligible, but delusions of grandeur aren't good.

Building a wall would of certainly helped out CCSD. The teachers ask for more money "for the kids" then all they do is get a pay raise to perpetuate the myth they're underpaid working 180 days per year from 7am to 3pm. The real issue is there's 40+ kids per 1 teacher and mass immigration is hugely responsible for that... Especially when you're consider how many of these kids don't speak English very well and require extra attention from the teachers at the detriment to the rest of the class. This is just the reality of the situation that bleeding heart liberals like yourself refuse to face because DIVERSITY IS OUR STRENGTH. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
