Open Season

I thought we would have a helluva blowout game against Ateneo today.

But again, our usual 2nd half composure and our atrocious freethrow shooting almost made us lose probably the only game where a team led Ateneo by a high of 33 points.

We cracked up in the 3rd quarter yet again, and almost died down in the 4th.

Casio, Yeo and Tang were shooting blanks in the last half, and we barely survived if not for Cardona's all out monster game.

Cardona, usually the biggest white elephant in Ateneo games finally broke loose with his defensive arch-nemesis Fonacier out for the rest of the season. Almost unstoppable, he ended with 24 points (11/15 FG), 9 rebounds and godknowshowmany trashtalk quips.

Again, it was lucky that Ateneo didnt have its usual endgame lucky breaks. They really gave us ONE BIG FIGHT.

All in all, it was an ugly win.
But we'll take it.

A double digit win, is still a double digit win.

In any case...

ATENEO LOST!!!!! Mwahahahhahaha!!!

Oh how the mighty have fallen!!!! Our sucky team actually beat you?! And Tambak Pa??!

Hahahaha!!!!

Im sorry, another tactless ejaculation. Im in a state of orgasmic bliss today.

what I meant was:

Congratulations to the Eagles for clawing back from a 33 Point deficit!

That was a helluva big fight.

They only lost by 11 points.

There.

I really have the makings of a great diplomat.

In other news, the Blue Eagles were not the only avians that got sniped today.

The other birdbrained team to take a plunge were the Falcons who got massacred by the UP Fighting Maroons. (BTW- what the hell are Maroons supposed to be anyway??!)

Kudos to UP for sweeping their last 4 games. They might very well be the dark horse this season. They have 4 games left: NU, Ateneo, FEU and DLSU. If they defeat NU and either Ateneo and FEU, they have a fighting chance for a slot at the Final Four.

So is it birdhunting season already?

Someone shot down my messenger pigeon tonight as well. Just great.

In any case, here's the message. Hope it reaches you..

My Dearest Chinee,

Im sorry. It was really One Big Fight your team put up with today, but im glad that the better school finally won.

By now the other teams know that the secret to winning against Ateneo is shackling LA the same way the Pumaren brothers did in the last UE win and in most of this afternoon's game. I foresee more losses for Ateneo this season.

Love,
Soloflite
