Admu Vs. Dlsu

[kanski]

1. We won a great series. sayang nga lang sinira ng iba yung uaap 2008 by being sore losers.

 

2. We swept our favorite rival all by decisive margins

 

3. We won the juniors and the seniors titles

 

4. Matagal na kaming walang title but mind you, even when we were this close to the championship, we NEVER quesioned the way our opponent won or how we lost. Not in public anyway. That IS NOT the Ateneo way.

 

ONE BIG FIGHT!!!!!! TWO BIG BONFIRES!!!!!!!!!

 

ONE GREAT ATENEO!!!!!!! BLUE EAGLE THE KING!!!!!!!!!

 

 

and to the question of a greenie in the posts above. I am mid 30s. My Dad is close to 50 and he was Blue Babble same as my sons, one on the cheering squad, the other on the training team. All my male (and now even my famale younger relatives) are all True Blue Ateneans!!!!!!

 

 

all those reasons could be summarized in two words: to gloat.

 

nothing wrong with it. ordinarily, this would be nothing as a simple right of passage everytime a uaap season ends the way it just did. however, i call to it's attention now given the number of times some ateneans here bashed the la salle team as being classless. doesn't gloating discredit one's call for his/her opponent to display some class?

 

bato bato sa langit, ang tamaan... pangit.

 

personally, i'll describe myself as class-less. if only to give credence to my affinity to gloat every now and then. my family has almost the same no. of greens and blues (and a whole lot of others from other schools that don't give a hoot about this rivalry). it's fun ribbing them atenean cousins.

 

another thing, 'we' is a term you shouldn't have used in your reason no. 4. while it might be romantic to think that all ateneans are impervious to ways that are sinister, in reality, a lot aren't. i'll just assume that your family is above all these dark ways.

 

boy, you're in your mid 30's? by the way you post, i could have sworn you were in your early 20's.

 

congrats!

Well, that is why I posted an inquiry about their age. For me to understand the way they post in this thread.

[ptech1975]

"34-27"

[FRENZEE]

On the query on the ages of the people posting here, I'm 37. A true blue. Watched the whole series with my son who is in the Ateneo Grade School now. This is why I hate seeing DLSU not getting the trophy - I practically told my son, "You shouldn't be like them and there is also dignity in losing... graciously..."

maybe u should try reading some of my post here and at the uaap season 71 thread and at www.inboundpass.com ...im already 24 and think if our post match our ages....

 

it's not with the age...it's either u have class or not....

So the gossip is not true that Rico never did display the dirty finger but the ref saw one and it may be because by the way he looks at the opposing teams when he's taunting them he himself looks like a.............

 

hehehehehe

 

Did Baclao get a tech after the block on Rico when he was standing over him and shouting? Just asking.

There's a certain assumption that with age comes a bit of wisdom/knowledge/experience. If some young people have class, then it's great. If some old people don't, then we are just sorry about that. These are more of the exceptions.

I assume you're talking about that old bloke Franz Pumaren?

For those who weren't able to watch the game, you can download it sa torrents (game one and game two, just search uaap71, thanks to panopticalkid)

Bilis, para masagutan ang trivia question sa taas

sayang, mas bagay sana kay franz sabihin yan hehe

[cyrus08]

frankly speaking, I think Ateneo was a bit favored this season. sa awards pa lang, kulang na lang pati si jai reyes bigyan ng award

I don't think age is an issue here, you can be 18 and mockingly make fun of a player's tragedy with a bang bang gesture or you can be 40ish and be so childish as to snub a second place trophy. Pwede ka din maging senior citizen tapos batukan mo yung star player ng kalaban mo and make a dash to the exits. Wala sa edad yan kid.

I don't think the celebration of Ateneo's sweep of lasal in UAAP 71 is overly excessive. I don't think the exuberance was meant to put down lasal or the lasalites whom we share this forum with. Aside from congratulatory posts, the posts after the championship game centered mainly on lasal's snub of the awarding ceremonies and franz's whining. The counter-posts by supposedly dlsu supporters (such as dynamite007 and to some extent, revi) defending the non-appearance of dlsu, drew out Ateneo supporters to point out the folly of their opinions. Raving against unsportsmanlike behaviour is not gloating. Dancing in front of a vanquished foe, kodakan moments to rub it in against your opponent ... ayun ang gloating. Kami, we're just proud of the Ateneo team's achievements as well as their exemplary behaviour on court in victory as well as in defeat ... class act talaga.

 

The bashing of the lasal team particularly their coach, I think, is well deserved ... not because they were second best this year but because they failed to uphold the true ideals of sportsmanship.

baclao did not flashed his middle finger on rico... and by the way, instead of denying or coming up with some lame excuse and justification... baclao was man enough to later on admit that he made a mistake because of the emotional game and offered his apology in the same interview...
