ready... aim... flop?

on loop: The Reason ~ Hoobastank

yesterday, ateneans and la sallites alike trooped to the big dome to witness yet another UAAP spectacle between the two arch rivals. arrows flew and eagles were hit. but in the end, arrows flew short of their target aas the eagles swooped down and bore upon the archers, 76 - 73. it was a dramatic battle which probably made everyone sit on the edges of their seats but in the end, the eagle prevailed. mwahahahaha (i'm gloating.) just kidding. in all fairness, la salle did a really good job in their stoppage of ateneo , up until the fourth quarter when the seemingly unshakeable lead of la salle dwindled amidst the shots of la tenorio and *sigh* larry fonacier. highly noticeable about this season's team is their seeming cohesiveness. they have somehow ceased to rely on "superstars" and have learned to work together. as a result, everyone did a great job and it truly was a TEAM effort. the new format of the UAAP team roster seems to be better. this season, teams are composed of 14 (or is it 12) players, all of which will get to see action, as compared to the previous years' 16-man teams, wherein two would be bench warmers. the eagles' win put an end to the sixteen year legacy of la salle of never having lost an opening game for nearly two decades already, up until last night though.

it was a shame that i was not able to go see the game :( i failed to get some tickets so i had to contenet myself with witnessing the game from my puny television at home hehe. but i promise that the next time ateneo plays another big game, i'll be there decked in white and blue :) haha. that was such an overly dramatic post. i always get carried out when i talk about basketball games, especially those of ateneo's. i'm a self-confessed basketball fan :) not very lady-like but das the wey da koki krambels... hehe. i'll edit this post tomorrow and put in a pictur of larry! mwahahaha no one can stop me *evil laughter* sigh. i'm losing my marbles.
