Whose House? Coogs House! UH Athletics with Maithili

Transcript

Maithili is a sophomore double majoring in management information systems and marketing. Who is ready to show us what UH athletics is all about. What a rich athletic history there is here. Iconic basketball teams, Heisman trophies, Olympic gold medalist, major championship golfers, and now as a member of the Big 12, the athletic experience is unparalleled. Let’s hear from Maithili about what makes Cougar Athletics so much fun for students.

– Thanks, Alex. Hi everyone. Growing up, I was always involved in school, but I never quite knew what I wanted to pursue. Throughout high school, I was in band and took AP classes, but coming to the University of Houston, I decided to take a chance on business. I love the balance between hard work and play here. One of my favorite parts is attending the basketball games with my roommates. UH offers student tickets and I take advantage of that as often as possible. I love the sense of community Center has during basketball games. Seeing the alumni in student sections be packed is part of why UH is so special to me. UH has a memorable basketball history, starting with Phi Slama Jama, and we have continued to build that legacy with our entry into the Big 12, Final Four appearances and conference championships. In the fall, TDECU stadium packs out for the Cougar football games and the fire and passion of our student athletes invigorates the crowds. Our football team has made multiple appearances in bowl games. Our women’s golf, swim and dive, and track teams have an impressive legacy of bringing home multiple conference championships. Our athletic teams put in their all and getting to be a part of that and witnessing it is extremely inspiring. The spirit of our athletics speaks to the type of school the University of Houston is. Our student athletes and fans are supportive and passionate, and together, it’s a culture that I’ve learned to love. My Cougar pride has never been stronger and I’m excited to see where these programs go in the next couple of years. See you at the next game, Alex.

– Thanks, Maithili. Those basketball games look like so much fun. You can certainly feel the buzz around the teams here on campus and we can see plenty more championships coming here very soon. Thanks again.
