Desperation shot
I took a three p.m. lunch today and while waiting for the Ilocano Igado to be served, I picked up a copy of today’s sports page. My jaw dropped and I lost my appetite when I read the main section story–the Red Cubs got swept by the Junior Stags in the NCAA juniors finals!
If you really want to know how shocking this is, the following come close:
1. GMA finally admitting she cheated massively in the last elections;
2. George Bush admitting he invaded Iraq and Afghanistan for oil ;
3. Aga Muhlach admitting he is a chain smoker;
4. Toting Bunye admitting they doctored the "Hello, Garci" tapes; and
5. Mikee A. admitting he really is "M2".
It really wasn’t expected. One somehow knows that something isn’t normal if the Cubs are not the ones winning the plum.
Yet they were swept in the finals!
Never mind the seniors squad. The only thing going for the Red Lions is that their 29-year title drought is somewhat better than the Heavy Bomber’s own 33-year drought.
But not the juniors. The Cubs were the players that the La Salle Archers, Ateneo Eagles, UP Maroons are salivating after. They are the pimply hoopsters who are lured to change jersey colors in exchange for polished condo units, faster SUVs and even more polished and faster girls.
But, hey! I’ve got an idea. Since this year’s Cubs are like the Lions, i.e. losers, they can’t be that attractive to the UAAP vultures now. So why not do away with the idiotic you’ve-got-to-undergo-tryouts-even-if-you’re-mythical-five-material BS and make them all Lions next season? And will SBC please give our teams more than just scholarship and food allowance? For this, I am even willing to pay my alumni dues. (Does SBAA accept clamshells?)
And, please! will a team save all Bedans from this misery and win a seniors title soon?
Mabuti pa ang San Beda Alabang, spotless.
Sa WNCAA na lang kaya kami?
