Go get the Tigers

We've always kept our promise. Win or loose, it's the school we choose. We've always been here to support you--rain or shine, brown out or no brown out, nakaligo man o hindi. Promise. It's been 2 days without water and electricity in most parts of Metro Manila because of the typhoon.

But last night's game was really disheartening. We lost to UST by a painful 16 points. Ano ba naman yun? Nakakaiyak. Talaga.

If we lost by one point, it would have been easier to accept. SAYANG. But ok lang, there's still a next game to fight the battle, and hopefully win. If we lost by two points, ok lang. It must have been a tight game and both teams might have been really out to get the championship trophy. But to lose by 16 points? Waaah. No comment. Nightmare.

So what really happened my dear Ateneo Blue Eagles?

JC Intal, were you dismayed that they declared Ken Bono the MVP instead of you? Ako, oo. But ignore me, I'm biased. But judging on physique alone, I would have picked you any time. I would have mistaken Ken Bono for a wrestler.

Macky Escalona, please, please practice your free throw shooting. I do not recall any basket that you sunk in when you were on the free throw line.

Coach Norman Black, I was just watching King Kong this afternoon, and I must say, you look like King Kong when you get mad. Black skin, pearly white teeth. I don't want to elaborate. But you looked really scary shouting at your players to fix their game.

To the rest of the team...Chris Tiu, Doug Kramer, Arao, Salamat, etc. Let's play as if it were the last game of our lives. Besides, it is the last game of the season.

We've come this far, it's win or go home for us tomorrow. Let yesterday's loss be a distant memory. Let tomorrow be the day when we say we played our damn best. Let it be the day we soar and fly high. Go Ateneo. Go get the Tigers.
