I followed UH Cougar Athletics from age 12 to age 21. Attended (with 50,000+ other fans) the *”Game of the Century” at the Astrodome featuring (then) Lew Alcindor vs. the Big E (Elvin Hayes). It is a great memory of which there were many for UH fans but—I have a North Texas degree thus I’m a Mean Green fan. (Step aside, Coogs)!😎
*Late NBC broadcaster Dick Enberg credits the UCLA-UH game in the Astrodome as the reason NCAA basketball became a national sport rather than one that had previously been regional.
• UH’s 10,000 seat Hofeinz Pavilion basketball venue opened in about 1970. It has experienced a dramatic re-do & now seats a bit over 7,000. Many millions were spent to update & modernize the former Hofeinz Pavillion which is now called the Fertitta Center. Something UNT might want to consider in order to keep varsity basketball on the east side of our main campus & more accessible to UNT students. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertitta_Center
