Will The Icing Follow?

It was a festive day of green and red at the Araneta Coliseum. As the crowds were starting to come, it felt different from the energy that was present in last Sunday’s La Salle – Ateneo game. There was excitement from the La Salle crowd because it is the Finals but it didn’t have the tension that was in everyone’s faces in the last game.
The UE fans on the other hand were eager to get the game started. They had been waiting for 20 days and their wait was compounded by the high intensity level of the last 2 La Salle – Ateneo games. After all, they did win 14 straight games to automatically capture the 1st Finals berth but this seemed overshadowed by the playoff games for that 2nd seat.
During the warm-ups, I noticed that the UE Red Warriors were focused, maybe too focused or what we call “gigil�. The Green Archers on the other hand looked more relaxed having just played 2 back to back thrillers.
Finally, the jump ball and Game 1 of the Finals was on its way.
Both teams looked tight early and it was immediately obvious that both teams were mirroring their defense. But with UE dominating the boards on both ends of the floor, they did not look like they skipped a beat.
UE ends the first quarter with a 45% field goal shooting while La Salle could only make 5 of 16 from the field.. With the 1st quarter score at 20 – 14 for UE, the La Salle fans seemed restless but still in high spirits.
The 2nd quarter was an all together different story. La Salle clamped down on its defense and also began getting hot. The Red Warriors seemed confused and with still 8 minutes to go, Coach Dindo Pumaren had already used up all his timeouts.
La Salle erases the UE 8 point lead by forcing forces more turnovers. The game starts to get physical, which would definitely be to UE’s advantage because of their size. UE just totally dominates the rebounds.
Sloppy offense on both sides keeps the scoring low, which would benefit La Salle because the Green Archers were playing slow deliberated basketball while the Red Warriors were running.
The first half ends at 39 – 37 for UE and the La Salle crowd was wondering, is it possible?
A look at some stats from the first half makes this game even more confusing. Though scoring percentages were almost equal, UE outrebounded La Salle 34 to 13. La Salle however caused UE to commit 12 turnovers while committing only 5 and had more blocks than their taller opponents.
The 3rd quarter saw both teams shooting terrible. Neither team could build a substantial lead but again this was definitely an advantage for La Salle. It was actually starting to be a coach’s match. Continuous substitution from both sides just kept coming.
The quarter ends with UE shooting 3 of 11 while La Salle 4 of 20. The jitters of the Finals were very evident. With UE still on top 50 – 47, the match was definitely anyone’s to take.
The 4th quarter belonged to TY Tang. He just lit up the scoreboard and kept La Salle in the game. Playing alongside veterans Pocholo Villanueva, Rico Maierhofer and JV Casio, the Green Archers began showing what Conach Dindo Pumaren feared most, the championship experience of La Salle. Surprisingly, it was the rookie Ferdinand that stood his ground against the UE big men.
Coach Franz, knew exactly what he had to do and kept his younger brother reacting to his moves. La Salle showed the composure that had vanished many times in the past games. UE on the other hand seemed lost.
With less than a minute to go, La Salle takes a 3 point lead. But UE’s Mark Borboran hits a 3 and ties the game. Rico Maierhofer gets fouled and splits his charities. With La Salle up by 1 and less than 20 seconds to go, UE goes for the final shot. La Salle makes one last defensive stand and UE just can’t find a way to score. Malabes gets the final rebound of the game and La Salle gets the win.
As the La Salle crowd was in jubilation, the UE players looked shocked. Their first loss of the season happens at the worst time. They are not invincible after all.
I felt that the deep bench of Coach Dindo backfired on him today. He has so much talent on that team but did not seem to have the core group he needed for today. Maybe substitutions were made too fast, so much so that the players were not able to get into the groove at the end game.
Oh the end game, how important is that? It was La Salle’s weakness that they have now transformed into their strength.
Can the UE Red Warriors come back from this devastating loss? They have never had that this year and it will be a test of their character to do so. Will the Green Archers go for the jugular on Sunday? They better, because a 3rd game will be an advantage for UE.
We got the cake when we beat Ateneo. Will the icing follow?

Nakakatawa. Bakit naman napasok yung academics sa usapang basketball?
Ako ay isang Lasalista. Pinasa ko ang kursong MIS sa Ateneo ngunit mas-pinili ko ang pumasok sa De La Salle. May mga kakilala rin ako na pumasok sa DLSU nang hindi kumukuha ng pagsusulit sa ADMU at UP, tulad na rin ng ibang mga estudyante kaya’t itigil na ang pagbubuhat ng sariling bangko. Lahat tayo, may “school pride” kaya sa usapang pagalingan sa akademiko, lahat talo.
Bumalik tayo sa usapang UAAP. Naniniwala ako sa galing ng De La Salle kaya’t pinagdadasal kong manalo kami mamaya. Para na rin wala nang nerbyos sa ikatlong laban.
DERECHO LA SALLE!!!

I’d say it’s just pure luck. Imagine the 30 plus turnovers of UE, how come La Salle didn’t score more?
Referees by Hail Mary Team

It’s such a sorry/lame excuse every time a school loses for the losing side to blame the referees. I almost feel sorry for the referees (although in the NBA, there was such a controversy!). I guess it is already within our culture. The saying “meron lang nanalo at nadaya” in every competition always applies in this country.
Just an observation.
In the UAAP basketball scenario, two sides are so biased they only see what they want to see. I read the La Salle posts when La Salle lost earlier this season and they also accused Ateneo of rigging the game through the referees. This time, it just so happened that it was Ateneo that got the short end of the stick. I don’t know. Certainly, everyone is self-serving when it involves their interest.
Impossible proposal: have a replay rule on every call. At least it would completely remove the human element.

No regrets on the NU loss (Even the subsequent La Salle defeat). Yes, it would have given us a relatively easier road to the finals. Maybe we would have been in the finals right now (or still, maybe not).
I was actually more afraid that we were about to face a very dangerous UST team. Looking at how things turned out, it’s not a complete and devastating defeat. 2 out of 3 knockout games ain’t all that bad. Yes, the season is over for us but it was a good way to go out. Going out with our backs against the wall.
Even Rocky did not get his title the first try. (haha)

REPLY TO MR. ATAYDE,
Sour graping in terms of recruiting. Sorry if I wasn’t making myself clear. It’s just that you were making the point of “a home grown La Salle team while Ateneo going the opposite route” idea. Its just that both schools can attribute past and current success to the talent that their recruits provide. The leaders of your team this year (Villanueva, Maierhofer ,Tang and Casio) are all recruits. Even your past championships were led and won by recuits (Allado, Ritualo, Cortez, Cardona, Wilson). If the talent is out there and they are willing to play for the blue and white, I don’t see anything wrong (I just hope they are qualified HS graduates). Ateneo has not yet made La Salle’s mistake.
I have no problem with La Salle winning or Ateneo losing. I am actually CONCEDING that fact. This year, La Salle is a better team and won on the day that counts. I, also, don’t have a problem with your pro-La Salle propaganda. I am an Atenean but I also have an open mind. I still want to know what the other side has to say. It’s just that I have an opinion too.
As far as bashing is concerned, I guess both side’s passion for their alma matter gets the better of them. I can’t account for every low blow that gets posted in your column. As for myself, I don’t want to give an excuse for Ateneo losing. I don’t blame the referees or even Tang’s father for our defeat. La Salle was just a better basketball team than Ateneo that day. Period.
Congrats. You are in the finals. Looking at your team on paper, you have a very talented team that is worthy of challenging for the crown. No sour graping here. Looking at Ateneo’s team on paper I was actually surprised the team performed the way it did this season. It is definitely not as talented as La Salle but it put up a good fight until the end. That is what makes them THE Hail Mary Team.
Blue Eagle THE KING.

Food for Thought:
Ex-President Estrada (during his term) hired Brother Andrew as secretary of the Department of Education. When he was asked by reporters to explain his decision, Erap said that he is more impressed by the La Sallian education. Take note that all his male grand kids are studying at Xavier and Erap is also an Ateneo alumnus (high school).

1. The refs cheated.
2. The refs were bought.
3. The refs sided with La Salle
4. The refs were against the other team.
5. The refs were influenced.

I was not expecting that DLSU would reach this far… they eliminated Ateneo and eventually captured the 1st game of the best of three… probably that is the main reason why I am so proud of the DLSU team…because in spite of the injuries…they were able to get to where they are now, the finals. Blue horizon and blue marc, clearly both of you are sourgraping. Ateneo lost - live with it!
Why do you have to bash La Salle? So you can prove that you are better than us? Funny ha, my friends from AIM are not as arrogant as the Ateneans but they are intellectually more gifted.
ARROGANCE - that’s the reason why you are having a hard time accepting your defeat. You cannot accept that there are better teams than the Ateneo team.

This is an article written by an ex-ACNielsen about the diff. universities
in Manila …
Psycho Speaks
Vol 10
Psycho Speaks…on School Pride
Any of you catch the previous La Salle - Ateneo game? The one where La
Salle blew a 15-point half time lead? The one that robbed many a Green’s
wallet and savings accounts of their contents? The one that most of you
rubbed in my face the moment you saw me? Yeah, that one.
Well, it got me thinking of several things. Chief among which was how I can
get away with bleeding Cardona’s throat for choking YET AGAIN! But it also
got me remembering about my college days. It seemed like eons ago and yet
some feelings seem so fresh today even after 6 years.
I was a diehard Archer fan back then. Win or lose I’d be at the games,
cheering and shouting for all I was worth. School Pride. You loved your
campus and hated the others.
We all outgrow it eventually. Or do we? Let’s test it shall we? Listed
below are several schools and what I think of them. Try to see what you
feel after reading what this jack-off had to say about your university.
Enjoy.
ATENEO
This school’s trademark is arrogance. Nothing more, nothing less. I have,
to this day, not met an Atenean who does not think that their school is THE
best there is. Even La Sallites and um, uh, UP people (what do you call
yourselves anyway?) are not this shamelessly boastful. This does not mean
to say however, that they are all pricks and witches. Some of the best buds
I have are Ateneans. All two of them. But come on! Seriously, the only
thing Ateneo can claim to be the best in is creating a 2-hour gridlock over
a road stretching 3 damned kilometers!! !
Oh, and Interdisciplinary Studies is NOT a course. It’s Jesuit charity for
the incurably dumb and lazy.
ADAMSON
Hmmm, let’s see what I can say about Adamson. Well, there’s the fact their
school color is blue like Ateneo. Their team mascot is a bird like Ateneo.
Aside from that, there’s not a shred else. Damn this school is boring.
FEU and UE
Do any of you know what FEU stands for? Forever Useless! Yes, I’m an ass.
But joking aside, the Far Eastern University and the University of the East
are two schools whose names imply that at least one of them was founded by
a group of people who had the creative, artistic, and imaginative prowess
of a pile of rocks.
Seriously though, these are feel good schools. If you don’t believe me try
visiting either campus. The moment you see them, you start feeling good
that you don’t go there.
UP
Here’s a school that, for better or worse, is totally bereft of any
identity. Some people regard it as THE premier educational institution in
the country. There are those who, for good reason, look at it simply as one
big vicious playground. And others see it as a breeding ground for militant
wannabe rebels who try to lobby for whatever cause they deem to be in the
country’s best interest. For those of you who can truly relate
with the latter you have to be in your late 40’s or 50’s. Shit you’re
OLD!!! La lang.
I favor the first two views. It really IS the best educational institution
there is. And I’m not just saying that because I’m surrounded all day by UP
graduates who’d just as soon throw me off the 11th floor balcony given the
slightest provocation as look at me. I really, really do believe…that
they will kill me if I say anything bad against UP.
Can you blame me? The only thing longer than the list of UP’s distinguished
alumni (Miriam Defensor included) is the list of all the in-campus
violence. There’s a psycho lurking deep inside each UP educated
man/woman/child . This will be confirmed by the amount of hate mail I’ll be
receiving from them.
UST
Here’s a school that will totally drag down one’s social status just by
being enrolled in it. I don’t care how rich you are or how cultured you may
be, if you’re from UST it don’t mean shit. That’s not necessarily a bad
thing. I know of several obnoxious AB kids who were brought down several
pegs while studying there and are now some of the nicest, most unassuming
people to walk this planet.
It’s funny to note how much this place of learning mirrors the current
social state of the country every time the UAAP season kicks in. Come the
basketball tournament, they’re all friends. You see them chanting,
clapping, and giving each other high-fives. United by a common goal, the
rich and the poor are united as one. After the event is passed, they all go
back to hating each other.
DLSU
Di Lumusot Sa UPCAT. That’s a classic ain’t it? It’s as hilario us now as
it was when I first heard it in 1994, which is to say, it’s about as funny
as getting kicked in the crotch. It’s sad to note for a proud alumnus such
as myself that a school with as impressive an academic pedigree as La Salle
has become nothing more than a money-hungry institution whose only
requirements for acceptance nowadays seem to be a pulse, an IQ over 80, and
the financial capacity/ability to pay. Nowadays, whenever I incounter a
person clayming to be from La Sall and they speech bad, have poor grammage,
and cannot spill correctness, I am not surprice.
NU
I’m not even sure if this place is a real school. And I don’t mean that in
a snooty-you’re- nothing-compared -to-my-school way. I mean I’m not even sure
this place actually exists. I actually started believing that its initials
really stood for Negative sa UPCAT.
Think about it. Do any of you really know anyone from NU? Do any of you
even know of anyone who knows anybody from NU?
And if any of you even point to their basketball team and the audience that
watches its games as proof of its existence, I beg you to think of this
point. They act like absolute maniacs and they even look the part. If we go
by that, then the National University is not a school. It’s a correctional
facility.
CSB
This school has had a bad rep since the day of its inception. Admittedly,
it started out as a place where DLSU can deposit its non-performing
students so as not to give up the sizeable revenues from those hopeless
bastards who have the money to shell out but not the ability to count it.
Everybody knows this already.
What people don’t know is that CSB now boasts of fine world class courses
designed to equip the Benildean with the tools necessary to succeed in the
real world. These courses include Basic Arithmetic majoring in the
Multiplication Table, Whining with a specialization on Tantrums, and the
ever popular Strategic Investments: What to do with your Parents’Money.
CRC/UAP
Them Opus Dei folks can slap it with whatever initials they deem fit, it
would still not change the fact that this school will forever be known not
by its academic achievements but more by the fact that it is the only
school with a car to student ratio nearing 1:1. (No my dear CSB students
and alums, that is not read as one colon one.)
The meanest thing one can say about CRC is that it’s a school filled with
students rich enough to be Ateneans, but will never be smart enough to be
such. The nicest thing one can say about CRC is that it’s near a Starbucks
open until 2 am.
Now I realize I might have offended some people out there. Let me tell you
right now that I am whole-heartedly and humbly sorry. I am sorry that you
have no sense of humor and nobody had the heart to whack your uptight head
when you were growing up. For those of you did appreciate this, I give
seminars on insensitivity and creatively callous writing. Feel free to
email me.
Peace and chill folks.

Psycho Speaks
Vol 10 - 2
Psycho Speaks on Notoriety
Usually, my articles are greeted by the same kind of silence that you can
only find in outer space or really, really deep underwater. There are a
few kind words thrown my way, which are greatly appreciated, but that is
pretty much the extent of it. I’m more than certain that the previous
issues of Psycho Speaks never really went beyond the original circle to
which it was sent. That’s cool. The actual purpose of this entire thing
was to entertain my friends anyway and if anybody else got a kick out of
it, it was just an added bonus.
But my piece on School Pride has met with a degree of popularity that I
found overwhelming. Volume 10 found its way through discussion forums,
email groups, and even bar conversations. It has been circulated so widely
that it was even forwarded back to me from the U.S. ! According to some
people it was even responsible for sparking good-natured office feuds. God,
it was the best natural high knowing that so many liked it.
Of course, you can’t really please everybody. And this, without a doubt,
was the most enjoyable aspect of my newfound infamy. I would like to take
this opportunity to thank all the people who wasted their time reacting to
my ish. Without any of you, I would have no one to ridicule.
So my dear audience, before my 15 minutes of fame is up, let me now present
to you what people had to say about me, and more importantly, what I had to
say about them.
Enjoy.
REACTIONS
One Atenean said that it would serve me well to remember that the great
cinematic director Carlito Siguon-Reyna (or some such) was an IS graduate
before I started mouthing off about their course like that. Another said
something really profound and mature that went, “unlike you, we’re good
looking.”
See, I never said anything about IS graduates being ugly or that they were
not artistic. I just said they were dumb. Look, instead of defending
yourselves, don’t you think it would be best if you people just lift your
hands to heaven and give thanks? You are, after all, living proof that
nature really does compensate for natural disabilities such as stupidity.
-o-o-o-
People told me that I took it so easy on UP, that I either really respected
or really was terrified of the school. A vast majority of these comments
actually came from UP alums. I seem to have inadvertently given them a
sense of superiority. This was not my intention. I actually thought that
attaching the name of Miriam Defensor to UP was a slur worthy of the Ateneo
- Erap slap in the face. Apparently, it was not insulting enough. UP
people are either too thick skinned or have very little pride in their
university. They also informed me that they are known by the nickname
Isko, meaning Iskolar ng Bayan. They’re all proud of it too, which makes
me wonder if UP can be entered into the Guiness Book of World Records as
the largest collection of dorks…ever.
And iskolar? I asked them what was up with that? Scholars are supposed to
be smart. A large proportion of them aren’t. They say it’s because the
government subsidizes the University with OUR tax money. That being the
case, I ask everyone to join me in giving UP people a nickname they truly
deserve - LEECHES.
-o-o-o-
Since the article came out, I have been flooded by numerous text messages
regarding sightings of what some claim to be are NU students. I think I
have actually succeeded in creating an urban legend. Still, some believe
in NU with a conviction that I cannot fathom. I am not saying you’re all
liars, but until you can show me some photographic evidence, or better yet,
if you can capture for me a live sample, the existence of NU will forever
be as much of a myth to me as the smart Benildean or the humble Atenean.
HATE MAIL
Speaking of CSB, one student wrote to me saying that she, and I quote,”will
not stoop down to your (my) level of mockery and react to such frivolous
nonsense.” Dumbass! Didn’t you just? But hey, props to you for using big
words. I hope you didn’t pop a blood vessel. I know how taxing thinking
is for you people. I can’t help but wonder how many times you had to spell
check that and did it take your whole block to come up with that sentence?
And from my own backyard, come these two winners.
“have no right calling yourself an Archer like us.” Damn straight I’m not
going to call myself an archer. Unlike you, I’m not a wannabe.
Congratulations to you though because your comment has sprung up in most
email groups that have passed my article around. You have,
single-handedly, confirmed to the rest of the academic community that our
school caters to trying hard nerds such as yourself.
“La Sallians are not BOBO!!!” To whoever you are, I say that your command
of the English language is unparalleled and does a lot to support your
claim. You likewise mentioned that the tri-semester system is tough. It’s
not. Well maybe it is, you know, for the La Sallians who are bobo.
BASHER
Lastly, in the spirit of equal opportunity bashing here are some quick
quips for all those schools that I left out of the original shit list:
Lyceum - I know what it’s supposed to mean but there’s still something so
wrong when a school’s name sounds like a sexually transmitted disease.
FEATI - “Look up, young man, look up - so we can pick your pockets.” This
is the only school I know that offers Criminalogy. Yes, you read right,
Criminalogy. It’s the course men take to become criminals.
La Salle Dasmari�as - Your violent reactions against my views on La Salle ’s
admission policies is perplexing. For some reason, you seem to be under
the delusion that you people are part of La Salle .
St. Benedict’s College - All I can say is, “Wow, and I thought CSB kids
were idiots.”
Assumption Antipolo - I applaud you girls for your conviction that you are
smarter, prettier, and sexier than the gals of the San Lorenzo campus. Now,
all you have to do is convince the REST OF THE WORLD.
Assumption San Lorenzo - You’ve got to love a school whose slogan is,
“where virginity is a thing of the past!”
Mapua -Can anybody say fungal infection?
St. Scholastica’ s College - And yet another slogan jackpot, “we start
lesbians young!”
So there it is, my final foray into the world of academic trashing. Again,
if I have offended anybody, please accept my heart felt, GO TO HELL! Don’t
worry, it won’t be that bad down there. You can hang with all the Miriam
chicks.
Seriously, it was cool being popular, even if it was just for a while.
Thank you all. Now it’s time for me to slide back into the arms ambiguity.
Peace and chill folks,

Blue Marc,
So the Ateneo team lost because of everybody elses fault except their own.
Laten at what you’re saying. You are accusing both La Salle and UST for paying off the referees. If that ist sourgraping, then what do you call it? It setainly is not acceptance.
Wow man…I never thought that you guys were so affected. Blame the whole world that Ateneo lost because Ateneo did not have a chance at their own destiny. Maybe if they did not plan that celebration at Tagaytay Highlands after the NU game. Thy would be playing tomorrow.

i used to think that DLSU had the right to win, as much as UE had the right to.
but if you’re going to put this basketball game into other context..
shet naman walang personalan..
‘we have already proven that La Salle is better than Ateneo in academics.
not to mention that UE has produced more graduates who are much better in their respective fields than ateneo has.’
how did u prove that la salle is better than Ateneo..in d first place ang daling pumasa sa inyo..ano ba yan?! walang challenge entrance exam pa lng.~_~
i was a star scholar.pero i chose to be an Atenean.mas maganda education.
about that stuff sa UE..san mo naman nakuha yan?? naisip mo lng tapos sinulat mo? dude think naman.UE and ATENEO have different arrays of courses.specific ang courses sa UE. tingin ka muna ng mga nagtatrabaho sa multi-national companies.makikita mo ang Ateneo.marami sila dun.kasi pagka-graduate pa lng,nasa global scale na ang position.
think first before you say stuff. mas mabuti if you research muna about the things na sinasabi mo. para hindi ka kinokontra.

Sourgraping? sour graping? I believe in this institution, so why should I bear such burden?
Though I must say that you have perfectly described the very definition of sour graping. I guess it was based on your experience.
