Pretty decent College of Business and School of Medicine. As for the philosophy, art, English, and psych programs, well I can't comment, because let's face it......they aren't real degrees. Define top tier. Top 100. Top 50. Top 25. Top 10. Quote SteelCityBlueNovember 24th, 2018 at 9:10 PM ^I'm looking forward to a new head coach who isn't a cud-chewing autistic retard.

It's just like the Chris Murray article I posted last week about having a G5 playoff; just something to stir the pot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Academic one upmanship is generally stupid, as you already noted, so why do you immediately engage in it after making that point? I don’t understand your need to insert yourself into every dumb my-school-has-smarter-students-than-your-school-and-is-rated-higher-too argument among MWC brethren except as a vehicle to not so humbly humble brag about your fancy U of Chicago education to the forum as a whole. You appear to do it almost every time the topic pops up. The hypocrisy is glaring.

Now, you do understand that 99.9% of the people see a fundamental difference between Berkeley and UNR while viewing UNR and UNLV as essentially the same. To answer another poster, I wasn't condemning academic rankings nor pretending there's no difference between schools. I was pointing out the hypocrisy of those who see no difference between their school and schools higher up the food chain while talking academic smack to schools they view as inferior. And as for those "not real degrees," you do know that a Silicon Valley VC firm or blue chip New York consulting firm will crawl over a hundred UNR grads with a real degree to hire that Swarthmore history major.

NevadaFan Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I can guarantee with 100 percent certainty that there are smarter people than me who graduated from Vegas — and I made it through Nevada — so by virtue of process of elimination my smack is tired. But then again, I’ve lived in Nevada for too long and have had the “good” fortune of spending time in Vegas so I can also guarantee you that the teeth/meth smack is a goddamn hyopcrisy. I think we’ve all been pretty cordial to be honest. But we’re all getting old and these threads are cliché. So F Vegas.

No impact on UNLV - Anyone outside the Wolf pack fan base grasps the reality that UNLV will be fielding a FB team in the coming years. I'd worry about UNR recruits & selling them on that erector set glorified assemblage that you call a stadium - But then maybe HS recruits feel comfortable seeing the same stadium at UNR that they had in high school (except for Texas recruits, their stadiums are better than UNR's) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all the millions spent on the renovation, it's now harder to navigate the stadium at field level, and there's still cracks in the concrete steps and bent railings everywhere. She needs to be retired, but now that won't happen for at least 20 years. I'm getting a community letter together to send to Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, and Warren Buffet to fund a new stadium. I'm having Sarah Mclachlan sing a sad song, an orphan tug at their shirts, and a puppy on their table in front of them while they read it.
