Couple of Thoughts On YouTubing/UCLA FB (Athletics)

Let me go meta in terms of new media items and UCLA athletics. Both of them have to do with YouTubing.

I was surfing around last around YouTube and stumbled into this clip from UCLA-Michigan game from 1989:

I remember watching that game on ABC. It wasn’t fun. It was a brutal season following Aikman’s exit from UCLA.

Anyway, I am wondering if there are any Bruin fans out there who can match those lowlights by uploading the highlights from the 2000 Michigan-UCLA game from the Rose Bowl?

Here are few more for a YouTube wish list:

Nebraska-UCLA 1988
UCLA-Washington 1990
UCLA-Southern Cal 1993
Tennessee-UCLA 1994
Alabama-UCLA 2000
UCLA-Alabama 2001
UCLA-Ohio State 2001

Of course would love to see the highlights from the 83 and 84 Rose Bowls and the Fiesta Bowl from 1984.

Perhaps the Athletic Department can step up here and create a vault of UCLA highlights in an official UCLA YouTube Channel?

For example, Cal’s AD has already set up their official youtube channel.

Why can’t UCLA do the same?

Thoughts?

GO BRUINS.

This is a great post with a great point

I’ve often wondered if the leaders in the Morgan Center are allergic to basic Public Relations principles. Of course, many of my complaints have been rectified slowly after the arrival of Dan Guerrero.

This sounds like a good idea for a letter writing campaign. hmmm?

The thing with Cal

is that the whole university is represented on their UCB channel: http://youtube.com/ucberkeley. Athletics is a branch off of it; I think it’s a great way to promote and recruit students to go there using the internets. We could set up a youtube channel with our program, but it’s an entirely different question to get something encompassing the university as a whole. Same thing with $C… http://www.youtube.com/usc.

GO BRUINS!
