We didn't get THAT ball though...
Now I know the feeling of cheering for a basketball team who is in the FINAL FOUR. I can say that I got the best of both worlds. hehe. I couldn't help it, when I saw how electrifiyingly interested everyone was, I decided to give in and shout, "Get that ball!".
Watching the game through the widescreen that was set up at the atrium, at first i thought, "Yeah, it's cheesy" but boy, it feels good. It's not everyday that you are allowed to shout, cheer and curse loudly in the halls of the law school... with the dean and a few other professors just inches away from you. Today's the day that nobody cared or better yet, the day that everybody CHEERED and CURSED LOUDLY. It's called the UAAP Cleansing.
The OVERTIME was anti-climactic though. You anticipate and anticipate and anticipate... and the worst feeling is LOSING without drama. I mean, it was a good game..really... but it lacks controversy.
I enjoyed seeing a few people who were caught by the camera praying... intently [on-the-verge-of-crying intensity kumbaga]. A few law students even asked Fr. Bernas to call the Holy Spirit. That was funny. Entertaining.
Next time, UP vs. Ateneo naman! But it might be TOO MUCH TO ASK.
Fine, UST won the championship this year. I'll get over it. But noooooooooooooooo! IT SUCKS. UP lost to UST during the Pep Squad Competition... and now, ATENEO bowed to UST for the BASKETBALL Championship. I guess it's the "YEAR OF THE TIGER".
UST daw UNDERDOGS. Di kaya! Sige Pido Jarencio, dahil GINEBRA ka naman dati, I WILL FORGIVE YOU. Segue, sobrang lakas ng GINEBRA ngayon. So, baka mag-champion naman. Ewan.
back in 1999, they competed against lasalle for the championship crown.
ReplyDeleteit was at the cuneta astrodome pa, kasi, araneta was under renovation. i was there. it was breathtaking.
and, as mean as this may be, it was kinda weird that someone from UST cried while lying face down on the hardcourt. :D
those were the days...
can't wait for next year. :)
