checking in at the heartbreak hotel

uaap season 72 just started july 11, 2009. and so i have archer fever again. not that this fever ever goes away, but it’s on its highest alert this time of the year. ok, time for my pre-game comments:

• i have to agree with what commissioner joe lipa said about the officiating this year, (i want to find the exact quote, but i can’t.) that the game should be played by the coaches and the players, and that ‘it should never be decided with a blow of a whistle.’ amen to that! screw that no taunting rule! (i really can’t let it go.. :p)
• seeing the ateneo’s team introduction still brings up the ouch factor. man, after almost a year, it still hurts. :c
• what the freaking F? (more like, huwat da freakin' eeeefff?!?!?!) why boom? why?!?! can’t they get somebody else? and why does he always have to cover la salle games? why?! BOOOOOOO.
• uaap season 72 on HD offered by sky cable. yup, and they’re damn proud of it. just make sure your normal connections are working perfectly before bragging about HD. i can’t forget my sky cable story.
• BOOO for boom.

onto the game. dlsu vs ue. too bad we lost. 46-65. gahd. my comments:

• yey, the boys are back! but i miss jv, rico & la. heck i even miss sharon yu. haha!
• the team obviously lacked chemistry. except for si and david. *love* team of the year.
• i love the overhead panning. but not so much when they’re still on that camera and the ball is already on the other court.
• 2 pumarens on the green side. and we still lost.
• the veterans need to step up. BADLY. james had an off game. somebody needs to lead them and show the new guys what to do. keep in mind, 6 rookies.
• marata and tolentino both have potential. andrada, bulk up. i’m still waiting for bringas to bring it. welcome to collegiate basketball, boys!
• and how come nobody can shoot?! we need a shooter, a go to guy.
• as usual, what’s up with the free throws?!
• i’m hoping it’s just jitters. it’s the first game of the season. bounce back. :)

sure it’s a loss, and heartbreak hurts like hell. but with the archers, i’m willing to endure the pain. BSB said it best when they sang, ‘ain’t nothing but a heartache.. cause i want it that way.’ like i said, true love talaga. haha!
