38th Anniversary of Game of the Century

Just wanted to note that today is the 38th anniversary of the Houston-UCLA Game of the Century. As I wrote about in a previous entry (a bit down the page), current UCLA Coach Ben Howland has not been responsive to UH Coach Tom Penders's call for a resumption of Cougar-Bruin games to commemorate the 1968 classic. I really would like to see UH and UCLA play two years from now, to mark the 40th anniversary of the GOTC, and am disappointed with Howland's stance. If you would like to see a UH-UCLA match-up in January 2008, please contact the UCLA athletic department to let them know how you feel. Just follow the link below, and you'll see a phone number to call and a form to submit written comments.
