Yawn. You think Richard The Fixer can get on UNLV's Skid Row these days? Nah, doesn't have the bankroll, and the seats are impossible to get .Could definitely afford SDSU's Replica Gucci Row though...and based on this thread the availability is great. Seriously, where did you even hear the term "Gucci Row?" That's only ever been associated with UNLV's courtside tickets since before the T&M even opened. (and the people who own them have always hated the term 'Gucci Row' anyway) It's just a nickname that stuck.

Can you find me some YouTube video of UNLV players in a hot tub with a high-stakes gambler? Now that would actually keep me awake.

You know what else we have stolen recently from UNLV? Victories and MWC Championships! You can have Gucci Row back, don't think anyone here really cares about that silly nickname.

LOL--You get owned in an attempt to claim a term that's been used by an opposing program for 30+ years and pass it off as your school's own..Then desperately try to change the subject. Weak. This is the part where I throw you a towel for your face and say "Clean yourself up kid" ;D Try harder next time.

Let me get this straight: You're pridefully taking ownership of a term you admit you hate. Got it. And, oh by the way, how do we know UNLV didn't thieve from somewhere else?? Still waiting for requested YouTube. I've got stills, just no video. Video of recent ownership of UNLV in front of their own "Gucci Row" I've got plenty of, however...

Still waiting for requested YouTube. I've got stills, just no video. Video of recent ownership of UNLV in front of their own "Gucci Row" I've got plenty of, however... I never said I hated it dummy, The "Gucci Row" term was disliked by the people who owned the seats because it sounded presumptuous...Guys like Frank Sinatra, Greg Maddux, Steve Wynn, Jimmy Kimmel, various high-rollers, Vince Neil, Mike Tyson, politicians, boosters, etc. the last 30+ years. Some didn't mind the term, just a trivial tidbit. It's really not that important.. Just common knowledge it's a term originated at UNLV due to the high-profile people who sat courtside at UNLV "back in the day"--and the nickname stuck till today where the seats are official called "Gucci Row" www.unlvraf.com/seating_gucci_row.phpHere's a 1989 Sports Illustrated article referencing UNLV's Gucci Row: sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1069113/4/index.htmHere's another: news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2199&dat=19870111&id=bHsyAAAAIBAJ&sjid=SOYFAAAAIBAJ&pg=7112,1922974 Just Google "Gucci Row"--it's just UNLV.

Wow. You guys steal Utah State's chant and UNLV's court side seat names. Do you get any original thoughts?

The answer to that is in the HBO special. Typical SDSU bandwagon fan that only discovered college basketball 4 years ago. It was a term created by a Las Vegas newspaper writer (I believe Steve Carp). You guys had an original idea with the big heads. Just stop there and quit stealing other program's stuff. It just looks pathetic.

Wow, I feared that this thread would become old fans vs. new fans, but instead we get the UNLV troll hour. Thank you for stopping by boys.
We invented the wave! Now get the f out.

I swore I wasn't going to wade into this particular kiddie pool, but I couldn't sit by and watch the Aztecs steal Gucci Row without throwing in my .02. Gucci Row has always been associated with UNLV basketball (not to mention it is about as 80's as you can get). It would be like another fanbase trying to call themselves "The Show". Just sad really. I'm sure you guys are creative enough to come up with your own court side name.

I'd say the term "Gucci Row" can be considered a term that can be painted with a broad brush (as in where the big donors sit). But if you feel the need for Unlv to own such a term or label, have at it.

Obviously wins are more important, nobody is debating that. But it is our traditions that make us who we are as programs. Aztecs have some very good traditions already. Gucci Row is a UNLV tradition that dates back to the Convention Center days (pre T&M) of 75-76. It was a term coined by a local sportswriter back then.

What with your performances against us lately, I'm more than happy to throw you a crumb if "Gucci Row" ownership is that important to you. We'll take the tradition of wins and the cut nets, you take the tradition of Gucci and hot tubs filled with seedy Vegas types.
