joe, kanino mo ibibigay sina valeriano at lao?

Yungha,

Maawa ka naman, kay Ryan at Wesley na nga lang naiiyak na si Valeriano and Lao, ha'mo na sila pare, ok na 'yun.

Sa totoo lang bagay kay Valeriano si Nonoy Chuatico, yaman din lang at mahilig mampeste ng outside shooter ito. Subukan nga lang niyang tukod-sahod niya kay Noy at kakain siya ng karate chop sa isang box out.

Si Lao naman, maganda paglaruan siya ni Danny Francisco. Once he realizes after four or five Francisco baskets na may tao pala na kayang iwasan lahat ng pasimple niya iiyak na lang sa sulok ito.

'Yun lang po!

For info, I saw Valeriano inside the New York Port Authority Bus Terminal lobby in New York several years ago during one of my trips to the US. I guess he was rushing to catch a bus, manila envelope on hand, perhaps going for a job interview.

As he was rushing towards my direction, I maliciously thought of sliding my left foot towards his path as comeuppance for Rich Alvarez . But at the same breath, I though it was not worth all the trouble.

I think napagsabihan siya ni Jimmy Alabanza to mend his rough playing ways during his stint with Ana Water in the PBL. Two strikes na ata siya that time. Valeriano promised to reform and he did. His last stint was with one of the MBA teams. Then he disappeared from the local basketball scene.

I am glad that our current players no longer have to deal with his on-court shennanigans.

You know what guys, what na lang ninyo pansinin yan si virenque... dagdagan niyo na lang yung top ten lists para tuloy ang ligaya... madami naaliw diyan myself included

oops... i meant huwag niyo na lang pansinin... not what na lang

I agree that we should just ignore Virenque, but let's also not insult the person's intelligence.

itsme, wala ka bang Top 10 List na maidadagdag dito? I'm kind of burned out so I haven't come up with anything new lately.

parang palagi na lang yan nang aaway! kala ko ba atenista yan! kahit sa ibang threads ganyan yan. tigilan na natin kasi yon. bad yun! peace!

il try to think of a top ten of my own

Here are my top 10 UAAP trivia questions:

10. Which team has the most inexpensive offensive plays? ADAMSON, because they are pro-Bono.

9. Which team has the most exciting coach? ADAMSON, because Luigi will Trill-you.

8. Which team has at least one player who gets bloodied every game? NU, dahil sa player nilang Mi-clat.

7. Which team wants to keep their plans secret? FEU, because their coach is Koy.

6. Which team always makes the right decisions during crunch time? FEU, dahil lagi silang Tama--raw.

5. Which team is the most time conscious? DLSU, because they make Casio watch.

4. Which team has French-speaking players? DLSU, because they always go to Franz.

real funny!

funny thread.

i couldn't agree more!!!

keep it coming!!!

Top 10 Surprises Of The First Round:

10) The "new look" UST offense of Nel Parado

9) Arwind Santos being a bust so far after an MVP performance in the PBL

8) LA Tenorio going nuts with his three-point shooting

7) KG Canaleta actually living up to his nickname (ask DLRT)

6) DLRT's press doesn't work anymore (that's what happens when you get gunners instead of players)

5) Adamson's slump (not helped by the loss of Ramil Tagupa to his own ACL injury)

4) Kramer isn't fumbling that bad anymore (and also playing some tough D)

3) UE's surge (over .500 going into the 2nd Round)

2) JC Intal busting out (finally putting on some attitude)

1) Our Round 1 Sweep (admit it, no one expected this! )

Joe Scoundrel,

You're no. 1 surprise of the season is spot on. During the start of the league, I thought we were going to be in 3rd place. Tapos nung na-injure si Fonacier, sabi ko, 4th nalang. I hope you make more predictions because the Eagles seem to defy them.

i come from a family of lasallites, and everyone kept on saying na nakatsamba lang ang ateneo when we won against dlsu in the first game.

6 games later, they still say it was tsamba.

whatever.

but yeah, nobody expected that we'll have a 7-0 standing.

la's 3-point shooting craze would have to be, hands-down, the most pleasant surprise for the 1st round.

1 more round to go.

GO ATENEO! GO ATENORIO!

In honor of La Salle's, erm, distinctive start to the season, I humbly present

Top 10 La Salle Excuses for Losing

10. "Naawa kasi kami sa [name of opposing school], so like the Christian gentlemen and ladies that we are, pinagbigyan na lang namin sila."

9. "We were meant to lose that game."

8. The Wave.

7. "[Random DLSU supporter] predicted we would win."

6. The Tau factor -- este, "mas malakas ang pag-cheer ng Ateneo--este, [opposing school] eh."

5. "I forgot to wear my lucky (shirt/shoes/pants/underwear)."

4. "I wore my unlucky (shirt/shoes/pants/underwear)."

3. Some rich and powerful people paid off the entire DLSU team to throw the game. Say it ain't so, Yeo! (<-- I'm not trying to imply anything, I just used his name because it rhymed with "so"!)

2. "That wasn't La Salle basketball."

And the No. 1 La Salle excuse for losing to Ateneo...

1. "HINDI KAMI NATALO! SINO'NG NAGSABI NA NATALO KAMI? ASA'N SIYA? GUSTO YATA NIYANG MABUGBOG EH!"

Carrot,

Can you include here, "It's not God's plan."

Or should I say, "It is God's plan."

How about "Kasi DLRT is the team to beat... kaya tatlo na ang talo nila!"

top ten reasons why we lost to UE [in no particular order]

1. Earl Saguindel

2. Paolo Hubalde

3. KG Canaleta

4. Dindo Pumaren

5. Derek Pumaren

6. Pilo Pumaren

7. Rolly Masbang

8. Marcelino Arellano III

9. Luis Palaganas

10. The other players I didn't mention.

No excuses. They played with a lot more fire. We played bad. Our "luck"/run has to end somehow.

ONE BIG FIGHT pa rin.

And here are the top 10 reasons why we played the way we did yesterday:

10. We thought the game wasn't going to be televised,

9. There were no babble girls around,

8. We thought it was already friday the 13th so there was a valid excuse to lose,

7. The players were too preoccupied with the way the stadium barker STILL massacred the players' names (and we're already in the second round),

6. The other players of ADMU were just waiting around to see if LA can again singlehandedly carry the team with another come-from-behind shot,

5. LA DIDN'T KNOW that the other players of ADMU were just waiting around to see if he can again singlehandedly carry the team with another come-from-behind shot,

4. Rico V. was in Cebu so he wasn't able to deliver the team's regular pre-game supply of Red Bull,

3. ADMU wanted to give Dindo more wins that Franz,

2. The team didn't play ATENEO BASKETBALL,

AND....

1. Game superstar Chris Tiu actually drank Master facial cleanser instead of using it to wipe his face.

Eagle Eyes! That's the funniest thing I read all day. Does that mean maglalaklak na silang lahat ng Master Eskinol? (Baka mas masarap yung Eskinol Classic -- it comes in lemon/calamansi, cucumber, papaya and avocado flavors!)


I just couldn't help but remember reading a post in Season 65 saying that the female cheerleaders were actually unlucky (cf the first-round loss to La Salle). Wala lang, just thought it was ironic or...something

aba if that's what it takes to bring out the scoring machines in all our athletes, i suggest a portion of the budget that goes to the basketball teams be allocated specifically for the purchase of Master Eskinol

carrot, parang gatorade din pala ang dating ng flavors eh.

hmm...bantayan nga lang si ford..baka ubusin niya ng isang laklakan ang lahat ng supply hehe

just kidding pentium ford.

ur da best!!!!!!!!

*ROTFLMFAO*

Top things that Ateneo should do to win over La Salle...

5. LA should probably buy some more tapes, put "larry" all over his jersey!

4. Rich should supply his former teammates with Burlington socks... GEAR UP!

3. Please keep Rafa Dinglasan out of the coliseum, please!

2. Chris should give all his teammates master eskinol too. Sikreto ng mga gwapo!!! woohoo!!!

...

1. Remembering last season, Johan should pray the ROSARY!

Top 10 Highly Improbable Monikers of UAAP Season 67

10. "Marvin of the Crimson Shoes" Poloyapoy

9. Japeth "the Waiter" Aguilar (hee )

8. Don "I am Shorter than Japeth Aguilar" Yabut

7. Chris "the Astringent King" Tiu

6. "Cheeky Boy" Mac Cardona

5. Niño "Child of the Corn...Rows" Canaleta

4. Larry "the Baldado Eagle" Fonacier

3. Joseph "the Stylin' Porcupine" Yeo

2. Coach Dindo "Anak ni Pilo" Pumaren

And the No. 1 most improbable nickname...

1. "Coach" Derrick Pumaren

Joe,

Sama mo na rin si Christian Luanzon, reserved for Nieto's dad ( exclusively!!! )

I can't understand why this guy is being likened to our Larry F. He doesn't even live up to Larry's shadow! Ang dumi nito mag-laro, tapos, pa-innocent after maniko, aargh!!!

Ehem, ehem.

While I have already promised Ms. Carrot not ever to mention her name with Master Quimson's in the same breath, I just cannot resist starting this Top Ten List. The fact that she also pulled a fast one on me, more than once I should say, did not help me resist this tempation in anyway.

So here it goes, the top ten reasons why Madame Carrot and Master Quimson should meet now. Permit me to post only one reason, I'll let you add the other nine (para naman hindi lang sa akin magalit si Carrot).

10. "This one's for you Larry!" is a bit tired, plus it is already a given. "This one's for you, Carrot!" naman para maiba. Just imagine him saying that if interviewed as an Energy Player of the Game. Do I see someone blushing?

Mr. Scoundrel, katuwaan lang...

How about Jojo "GWAPO" Hate?

Pare, mega-OK lang! Ironic pa nga kasi si Carrot pasimuno ng thread na ito, har-har! O ano pamangkin, hindi ba sinabi ko sa iyo huwag mang-aalaska ng kapwa tao? Ayan, yari ka kay Cager ngayon! Pero promise, hindi ako sasali, I'm sure your Tito out and Tito Cackler will have more than enough ideas of their own.

9. Master Quimson needs a new "Teddy Bear"


Let me gatecrash; can't resist, just have to join this one

Top Ten reasons why we should all watch the game at Araneta on Sunday

10. Four Pumarens will coach on Sunday against one Arrespacochaga

9. If you watch on TV mapapabili ka na ng Master Eskinol

8. Boom Gonzales will get you to go (to the bathroom) and look for the 15th parallel if you're at home.

7. Findout if being a scalper is indeed an alternative career ( I may have two extra patron tickets)

6. Maierhoffer will put on his mangyan uniform (sponsored naman ng kswiss)

5. You will see Raffa Dinglasan get hit by a tranquilizer gun

4. You might get to sit beside Maxine Magalona or Georgina Wilson (?) or in carrot's case she might get to sit directly behind Martin Quimson

3. TY Tang's look after being biatch slapped again by number 6

2. You might get to see Larry play ten seconds

1. You will get to see Japeth make Yeo and Cardona swallow basketballs

hahaha!!! i definitely wanna see no.1!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!

Two extra patron tix? What do I have to do to get them?

/desperate wail

I'll do anything!

Definitely not going to happen because my tickets are in the nosebleed section

PS cager, you're so mean! Sinsasabi ko lang naman na "preoccupied" ka, ha. I was in no way implying that said preoccupation had anything to do with the female of the species.

EDITED TO ADD:


Dude, didn't you notice that all the nicks on my list had some element of truth in them???

I don't know why but these words just keep popping up in my head, "what goes around..." He! He! He!

Nice one about the teddy bear, ice_35! Anymore takers?

OMG, u r so EEEEEBIL!!!!111ONE

See, my grammatical skillz r evaporating! Must get off thread before sumtng wors hapens...

Naman kasi e, 6'5" 200 lb power forward with that to-die-for brush-up. This kid should be in showbiz. Come to think of it sa ganda ng Pamangkin ko SHE should be in showbiz too!

I second that.

8. When Marty fixes or touches his hair while making a free throw, we can take that to mean - "Hi Carrot! I'm thinking of you."

Carrot, PEACE, friend!

And here are the top 10 quotable, but imaginary, statements from our players:

10. Marty Quimson - "I love doing the dirty job. Banging up big men. Getting rebounds and looseballs. Setting picks for my teammates. The opponents can try doing all sorts of things to me - shove me, push me, step on me, wrestle me - and I wont mind. Pero never, ever mess with the hair. Commercials? Why not? If Chris has Eskinol Master, pwede naman ako sa Tancho. But I've got my priorities straightened out. And my first is spelled A-R-W-I-N-D.

9. Jobe - "A lot of people, including Coach Sandy and Fr. Nebres, have been asking me why I didn't make an attempt during the latter part of the UST game when there were still several seconds left. The answer is simple. I wanted to show my teammates the meaning of CONTROL and POISE. Yeah, i could have thrown up a shot because we were leading big anyway. But I want my teammates to learn something from me whenever Im on court, which is not often anyway. So there. Besides, a lot of posters in the school site have warned the team about playing with GIGIL. So I just wanted to show them that Jobe and the rest of the guys can play under control. Hmm..though sh*t, when I think about it, sayang. Dunk na din yun.

8. Yuri Escueta - "Okay lang po na I don't get much playing time yet kasi ganun din naman po si kuya olsen before. Unlike JC, mahilig po ako mag-smile kahit nasa bench lang po ako. Although I think kailangan pong bawasan ng konti because baka ito po yung reason kung bakit di po ako pinapalaro eh. Baka akala ni Coach di ako siryoso sa laro. Pero in the meantime, I observe na lang po sila LA, Macky, and Chris para I can get ideas on how to be a better point guard. Other times po, pinapatawa ko na lang si Larry or si Coach Norman kasi palagi sila nakasimangot. Pero I hope mabibigyan na ako soon ng playing time. Nauubusan na po kasi ako ng jokes eh."

7. Bajjie - "I think Im performing okay naman. It's just unfortunate that several of my attempts have not gone in, especially those na attempted right in front of the basket. In fact, the coaching staff has given me the instruction to challenge the big men of the opposing team. So kung may opportunity po na mag-drive, and I think kaya ko naman, might as well go for it. Besides, my favorite quotation is "To whom much is given, much is expected." So since I'm given a lot of passes, I think the team expects me to shoot more."

6. Paolo Bugia - "Yeah I've been on a slump lately. So what? We're winning anyway . Nah, just kidding. I guess all players go through stages where they can't seem to do anything right. In much the same way that players also go through stages naman na they can't do anything wrong. Sayang lang because I really want to contribute more to the team, this being my last year. Sabi nga ni Larry the last time we played, galingan ko daw kasi baka akalain ng mga tao ako yung galing sa appendicitis operation."

5. JC Intal - "Sa tingin ko po, kaya po natin umabot sa Finals. As long as nandyan po lagi yung crowd support, I'm confident na malayo ang mararating ng team this year. I also like to take this opportunity to clarify yung mga issues that are coming out na masungit daw po ako and hindi daw marunong ngumiti. Actually po, I'm a very friendly person and I appreciate po yung support na binibigay ng ateneo fans and supporters sa akin every game. Yun nga lang po, honestly, di po ako pwede mag-smile sa inyo during the game kasi meron pong magagalit."

4. doug - "I beg to disagree with the people who claim that I am underachieving and that I'm wasting the slot given to me in team A. That's a universe of bulls**t. Why don't you ask the people I've guarded since the tournament started? Ask them if they had an easy time against me. Yeah, I may not score that many points but i'm sure as hell that if you count the bruises i get from all the elbows, slaps, and shoulders that bang me up game in and game out, they would add up to a lot. I'm the best enforcer in the team. That's what I am. Period. And about my slippery hands? Have any of the people I've guarded slipped away? Huh?! But yeah, those mikasa balls don't absorb sweat well. Those balls destroy my offensive rhythm. Maybe we should use spalding balls instead. Cheska says those are better."

3. Japeth - "Introduce myself po? My name is Japeth Aguilar. I'm 17 years old and I am 6'7". According po to my doctor, tatangkad pa daw po ako ng mga 8 inches so by the time I reach 4th year college, siguro po mga 7'3" na po ako. First love ko na po ang basketball ever since nasa elementary po ako. Happy po ako na ateneo ang pinili kong school because palagi po ako pinapakain ng steak. Since ganito po yung diet ko, malamang po in two years, wala nang pwede tumulak sa akin. My favorite move is dunking the ball. My next favorite move is blocking the ball. I hope palagi akong isu-support ng ateneo community. Bahala na po kayo sa akin at ako na po bahala sa shaded area niyo for the next 5 years."

2. Chris Tiu - "Well actually i wasnt inclined to do the Master Eskinol commercial. But either that or a new Likas Papaya commercial. Then that old Likas Papaya tv ad crossed my mind - the one where the guy says in a not-so-masculine tone "so sabi ko sa friends ko...eh di mag likas papaya na din kayo." Yuck. So i agreed to do Master. Pero trust me, napilitan lang ako mag-pose in the end ha? Oh and that dirty cotton ball wasnt really from my face okay? I think it was from one of the cameramen."

1. L.A. - "Why I think I am the best point guard in the UAAP right now? Hindi naman po siguro. Marami din po magaling sa ibang teams. Siguro lang po dahil sa standing ngayon ng Ateneo, mas napapansin po ako. Although, ang sinusubukan ko po ngayon sa game ko..actually since the start of the season...eh yung pagiging unpredictable ko po. Gusto ko po ma-confuse yung mga nagbabantay sa akin. So sometimes po, I will take a three-point attempt. Minsan naman I will drive strong tapos drop-off to teammates. Tapos ginagawa ko na din po yung drive and then titigil po bigla para mag-tear drop shot. Siyempre di po nawawala yung driving all the way to the basket. So yan po yung mga things na ginagawa ko po ngayon. Although sorry po talaga sa nangyari during the UE game. Dahil po sa dami ng options na pwede ko gawin, na-confuse din po ako kung ano yung uunahin ko. So di po ako naka-score. Pero promise po, di na mauulit yun."

Iniisip ko na lang that at least I'm doing my part in unifying the Ateneo community by letting y'all pick on me

Hey, didn't you hear what the adamson fungurrls say whenever he is on the court? - "It's only through the heart that one can see clearly, what is essential is invisible to the naked eye."

That's the spirit!

si Cheska may alam ba yun sa bbal?


pag 2mangkad pa sya para na syang si YAo ming


sa cameraman

Count your blessings Pamangkin at mukhang hindi pa nakikita ng ibang Tito mo itong new running Top 10 ni Cager. I do not even want to think about what your Tito Out and Tito Maverick will add on, baka maging all new Top 10 pang kanila.

7. Marty to Carrot: Hey carrot, what's up doc?

Peace po ma'am carrot!

Top Ten Lasallians we'd wanna see during an Ateneo vs. dlrt game:

10. Gary Valenciano - I wonder if he'll wear that same jacket that he wore during the 1988 Championship game halftime.

9. Randy Santiago - Paging orig female babble... were you one of the girls running after him during the 1988 Championship game halftime? Just kidding...

8. Edu Manzano - after doing all those raids at Greenhills and Makati Cinema Square for pirated DVDs, he'll go straight to the Araneta and supply the whole dlrt team with Lucky Me Noodles... (Oh my, I should get out of his site... he might confiscate my Ateneo VCDs as well. )

7. Kiko Pangilinan - To bad, he won't make it... the Megastar is giving birth. Sarap daw paglihian ang Mcdo.

6. Ralph Recto - dlrt's own version of "Bigotilyo" ala Mr. Suave. Hoy-hoy-hoy... Hoy-hoy-hoy...

5. Mang Jack - dlrt basketball won't be the same without their official stout head ballboy/mascot.

4. Fritz Infante - I think he should sit down behind the dlrt goal beside that braw individual waving that banner: JOSEPH "18" YEO - NINJA. I think Fritz should also bring one for his own banner: YEO da MAN... MY MAN! Hehehe...

3. Rafa "Jaba" Dinglasan - Another dlrt team supplier of Lucky Me Noodles for the halftime naman...Extra rice, anyone?

2. Joaqui "Wacky" Trillo - I think he still has that box of Kleenex given to him by Jimmy Javier during the 1996 2nd round game between Ateneo and dlrt... la salle got murdered! (Bring along the family as well...)

and the numero uno lasallian we'd wanna see during an Ateneo vs. dlrt game is...

1. MIKE ENRIQUEZ - Together with the lasallian community when they lose a game: "Di namin kayo tatantanan... Sama-sama tayo sa pagiging... API!" On every Ateneo shot that's converted: "PAhhhSOooooK!" On Norman Black while doing analysis during the game: "Hoy...IMBESTIGADOooR!
