[Gospel of Judas]

Will the Fighting Maroons actually have a fight next year? ABANGAN!

[jiggerman04]

marcelo pala.

[pangetsibeckham]

aga pa naman. oo, wag na sana starter si de asis.

[jean_grey]

^hindi sa maaga. pero wala enough magpo-post dito to maintain this thread for long. feeling ko lang. :s

jiggerman04, malabo ata yang gusto mo na mawala si marvin cruz next season as dahil sya na ata ang captain ng team kung by seniority yun.

ano kaya magiging resulta ng kanialng pagsali sa Flying V homegrown cup? abangan. :D

[El_Mestizo]

^ siguradong si Marvin Cruz ang King Maroon next year. :D

aside from Marvin Cruz, the "key players" for the Maroons next year could be Woody Co, VJ Serios and Magi Sison. baka pumasok din sa team next year ang Team B players na sina Kevin Astorga, Francis Juarez at Andrew Marfori.

[plucker_08]

ASSESMENT sa mga matitirang Fighting Maroons sa Season 70

Point Guard Position - walang duda na. kay Marvin Cruz na yan. Pero, kelangan niya ng reliever na shooting touch sa labas. dapat i-improve pa ni braganza yung shooting niya.. minsan kasi, sa pick n roll, iniiwan siya ng kalaban, tapos, di siya sure ball sa 15-18 ft jumpers..

Shooting/Small Forward - Iimprove pa ni miggy maniego *** speed niya and shooting. sa 2 spots na 'to, pwedeng 3 tao lang i-rotate...si de asis, reyes, and maniego..or pwede ring si sorongon..

Power Forward - pwedeng maging starter na si serios. tpos, kapalitan niya si woody co. tapos, recruit pa sila ng isang big man, para pwedeng mag center si woody co.

Center - si galen cacha. para pag nagpapahinga si marvin, pwedeng mag sub si woody co, kahit papaano, may offensive threat pa rin.

[jiggerman04]

dba graduate na si cacha?? hangat nasa lineup si marvin cruz...wala pa rin mapupuntahan ang UP.. i really hate that player,, magaling kung sa magaling pero minsan hindi ata minsan "lagi" siguro walang teamwork.. pag bakaw ang point guard wala na sira pati buong team...mas gusto ko pa si braganza

[thReaT]

if joe lipa is still the coach, uo will be kulelat.

that's a promise.

Woody Co sentro? Isn't that asking too much?
Di ba one and done si Cacha?

[El_Mestizo]

Woody Co would probably retain his SF position. he's already effective in that position. other SFs in the team would probably be Martin Reyes (who can also play the SG position) and Joboy Hipolito (provided that Jay Agbayani would not make a comeback next year).

as for VJ Serios, ewan ko lang but i am thinking that he would move up to the PF position vacated by Nestor David. aside from VJ, two newcomers would play the PF position and one of them would be Fil-Am Kevin Astorga. should UP decide to draft SBC Red Cub Dave Marcelo into the team, baka PF ang maging position nung bata.

si Magi Sison ang naging tagapagmana ni Galen Cacha sa C position. sigurado nang si Magi ang starting center next year. however, Magi would need a reliable back-up center, with Team B member Francis Juarez being the most likely candidate.

so far, ang tsismis sa peyups.com ay si Paul Sorongon daw ang "mawawala" sa Team A next year. :eek:


PROBABLE UP MBT LINE-UP IN 2007:

PG - Cruz (team captain), Braganza, rookie (should Sorongon does leave the team next year)
SG - Epres, De Asis, Maniego, Salvador
SF - Co, Reyes, Hipolito
PF - Serios, rookie, rookie
C - Sison, rookie

[pablohoney36]

pwede bang manalo ng back to back ROY award sa same league ang isang player hehe ask ko lang...

1.bring back gretchen... pls o pls
2. looking forward to the CDC battle between UP and UST... sana tapos na ang bangayan... sorry nabanggit ko pero sana tapos na...

[tHrEat.]

any kargador-looking recruits? sa amin sa ateneo kasi puro pogi. i'm kinda sawa na.. mas naeelya ako sa mga mukang goons.

[junjiedelacruz]

Yes mga atenistang poging iyakin.........Look na lang sa Game 3 UAAP mens finals....Join pan dun si enrico villanueva....DUH

[pangetsibeckham]

pinaka-pogi sa ateneo eh si norman bleck.

[ihateyeo]

[15ayn_rand]

Yes mga atenistang poging iyakin.........Look na lang sa Game 3 UAAP mens finals....Join pan dun si enrico villanueva....DUH

Hahahahaha :rotflmao: Nakakapagod mag-cheer sa talunan.

Pero sige, cheer pa rin ako for UP. Kahit matagal na akong graduate at nasa post-grad school na, I'll still cheer for UP. Alam kong mananalo rin ang UP! You just wait. And when that happens, baka gawing two months ang sembreak :D JOKE!!

UP FIGHT!

[Precious84]

sana sa 2008, UP wins in time for its centennial celeb :D siyempre thinking ahead na ako. haha.

[flsfnoeraekadad]

Who won, UP or JRU?

[jiggerman04]

totoo bang hindi na maglalaro c marvin cruz sa coming season ng uaap?? mukhang naging totoo ang wish ko ah..pa confirm nlng *** if totoo b or hindi...

[icko_cousin]

Pwede bang di maglaro si Marvs? :lol:

[El_Mestizo]

^ yung pagkakasama niya sa Mythical Five is more than enough basis para siya ang maging King Maroon next year.

by the way, nabasa ko sa peyups na nagpaopera daw si Coach Joe Lipa. i hope that he is doing fine.

[El_Mestizo]

Who won, UP or JRU?

JRU won over UP, 64-51. mukhang hindi pa ganun ka-cohesive ang Team A at Team B players doon bukod sa hindi nga si Coach Joe Lipa ang nag-coach dahil kakaopera lang sa kanya.

[jiggerman04]

i got this news kse gling sa isang team B ng UP..na baka hindi na daw maglaro c marvin kaya ni cconfirm ko lang..and theyre putting braganza in replace kay marvin..dme kse issue c marvin..pa confirm nlng po...

[kachoo]

oo nga.. maglalaro pa po ba c marvin? iba na pati may ari ng jersey number niya. and i heard form a source na may problema daw sa up mbt.
wag naman....
i watched up vs jru. parang di naglalaro as one and up team. bt gnun?
konti lang kaming mga taga-up nanood. dominated ng jru.
di tuloy kami nakapag-cheer.
nag buboom tarat tarat ang jru, di kami makasagot.
hmmmp..

[pangetsibeckham]

im not a fan of cruz but i do think the team's not ready to let go of someone of that talent and caliber. pag lumupit si co at serios, at makakuha ng mala-ritualo na player, sige, tapon niyo na si cruz, but until then, kelangan natin ng puntos niya

[El^Mestizo]

according to the discussions in gameface.ph:

1. the returning players of the UP Fighting Maroons for Season 70 are Marvin Cruz, Vicmel Epres, Woody Co, VJ Serios, Migs De Asis, Martin Reyes and Magi Sison.

2. Paul Sorongon, Miggy Maniego, Dan Salvador and Arvin Braganza are out from the team since December 2006.

3. among those who might join UP in Season 70 are Ateneo Blue Eaglet Mike Gamboa and FEU-FERN Baby Tamaraws Dexter Rosales, Anthony Paulino and Mark Lopez.

[jean_grey]

i've been watching marvin sa pbl and kung ganun din ang laro nya sa uaap, i think magiging okay naman basta may maganda din suporta from the other players.

Paul Sorongon, Miggy Maniego, Dan Salvador and Arvin Braganza are out from the team since December 2006.

huwaaat?? but huwaaay? sayang naman si miggy maniego.

[El^Mestizo]

jean grey: Sorongon, Maniego, Salvador and Braganza were culled from the team because the coaching staff believed that the team would need to give room to new talented blood (Gamboa, Rosales, Paulino and Lopez) and some talented former UP Team B players (Marfori, Dela Victoria?), thus leading to the decision to cull the least performing players.

oh... wait... sinasabi gameface.ph na yung moves ngayon sa UP seems to be in preparation for 2008. asahan na din natin na baka walang Marvin Cruz tayong makikita in Season 70 dahil baka magpa-draft na siya sa PBA.

[pangetsibeckham]

don't throw braganza and maniego completely, ireserba na lang sana.

[plucker_08]

ngek? bakit naman di maglalaro si cruz? e, kapag, nagpadraft siya, masayado pa siyang hilaw...and dapat suklian niya muna ang UP, before siya magpadraft...katulad nung ginawa ni arwind sa feu...

[math_techie]

ngek? bakit naman di maglalaro si cruz? e, kapag, nagpadraft siya, masayado pa siyang hilaw...and dapat suklian niya muna ang UP, before siya magpadraft...katulad nung ginawa ni arwind sa feu...

actually, according to some tsismis in peyups.com, (again i said it was according to tsismis ), it was actually the coaching staff that decided that Marvin would not be taken in for next year's team. For what reason? They wanted to train the two prospective point guards for the 2008 title run.

[DeMoNzYtE]

nabuhay ata ang UP ah... nice naman.. malamang sa malamang, mabubuhay sa thread na to ang cheerdancing.. haha

[math_techie]

^ The UP Fighting Maroons thread pertains to the UP Basketball team and not to the UP Pep Squad :)

[pangetsibeckham]

we lose a scorer, but definitely it'll benefit us in the long run

[math_techie]

Yup, we have a bunch of shooters in the team, and it would just need some more time before, they carry the whole scoring load that marvin cruz would leave.

[poetspeak]

what can u say about bruce quebral's entering the Pinoy Big Brother house?

[pangetsibeckham]

he's our anna kournikova, better off in front of the cameras than in the court. wag na wag lang niya idadamawit sa kahihiyan pangalan ng UP.

[poetspeak]

^^^ parang medyo bitter ang taste

[..iya..]

excited nko sa season '70 talaga .. hope makaungos **** tau sa standings .. ;) may thread ba ang up pep squad? *just askin* :bashful:

[tOTt]

^ i think the cheerdancing/cheerleading threads are enough. lagi namang nasasali ang up pep sa usapan dun. kung ayaw mong i-bash ang up pep ng iba, ang advice ko eh wag ka nang gumawa ;)

[math_techie]

I've seen PBB kanina, and I was curious, ano ba yung team na nang iwan kay Bruce? UP or Granny Goose?

[lifeline20]

^ i believe it was the PBL team... di ba bruce was able to use the 5 playing years allowed... so baka PBL nga un... hindi naman iiwan ng UP si papa bruce hehe... buti pa sa UP MBT ang dami gwapo... si papa bruce!!!

[El^Mestizo]

kumakalat na ang tsismis sa peyups at sa gameface na baka suportahan ang UP Fighting Maroons ng no less than the man himself, MARK "HULOG NG LANGIT" JIMENEZ. ang laking istorya nito 'pag nagkataon. :eek:

[tsinamanph]

wowowow...antabayanan nga natin itong kumakalat na ito...

[Caloy_O]

Ba't naman ang UP team pa ang susuportahan nya kung sakasakali, e, atenista naman siya, diba?

[lifeline20]

^ atenista ba si mark jimenez? wala lang no idea kasi... pero sana totoo nga... sayang din un... aba hulog talaga ng langit... sana umupo siya sa bench ng UP hehe... ang kewl!!! :-))

[ferminadaza]

If Mark Jimenez isn't from UP, makes me wonder what his interest is in UP... benevolence? magnanimity? what?

[viajengquolorum]

sana ok *** pool ng mga rookies ***** para maging deep ang bench ng UP...

go UP!

[jean_grey]

ngayon ang tsismis sa peyups eh hindi na daw tuloy yang mark jimenez issue na yan!

[pio_valenz]

If Mark Jimenez isn't from UP, makes me wonder what his interest is in UP... benevolence? magnanimity? what?

None of the above. His lawyer is Joe Lipa's brod.

[ferminadaza]

None of the above. His lawyer is Joe Lipa's brod.

Forgive me but it's still a bit baffling. What does he get in return? Goodwill? ;)

[math_techie]

Maybe he knows that UP is hell bent on winning the title next year, so it might be good PR for him...just speculating

[pio_valenz]

Forgive me but it's still a bit baffling. What does he get in return? Goodwill? ;)
What I'm getting is that MJ is a very competitive person, and he sees this as an interesting, new challenge. Hehe, who wouldn't be challenged? You're talking about turning the UP Maroons into championship contenders. Challenges don't come any more difficult than that. May kasama na ring kaunting PR.

At sa totoo lang, barya lang sa kanya ang gagastusin niya sa UP, kung sakaling matutuloy pa nga ito.

[jean_grey]

di ko alam how reliable people from peyups.com are pero hindi na ata tuloy to. sayang. UP sports program would really benefit from his money. hehe :lol:

[ferminadaza]

di ko alam how reliable people from peyups.com are pero hindi na ata tuloy to. sayang. UP sports program would really benefit from his money. hehe :lol:

Aaaw! Just when I thought things were becoming more interesting over at the maroon camp...:naughty:

[math_techie]

some concerned faculty and alumni opposed his appointment daw...para namang nagbibigay sila ng pera for the sports program

[black sheep]

^hahaha!!! natawa naman ako dun...

oo nga naman, hirap na hirap na ngang kumuha ng support from the alumni ang sports program natin, tapos i-o-oppose pa yung donasyon kung saka-sakali ng isang "nagmamagandang-loob" (naka-quote kasi hindi naman natin alam ang tunay nyang motibo... hehehe), hindi naman sila (alumni) makapagbigay ng suporta...

naku, prinsipyo eklat na naman yan, for sure... o kaya, dahil sa nega nga ang rep nitong si MJ... ayaw nila ma-associate sa kanya.

anyway, tsismis lang naman yan kaya wag na natin masyadong pag-aksayahan ng panahon...

[C2hamm]

A lot of good small guys will be going to UP this year; Gamboa, Rosales, Lopez, Yulo; meron ba bagong big man? Ang alam ko babalik si Hipolito tapos madadagdag si Marfori. Meron pa bang iba? May nabasa ako kay Dela Victoria na medyo raw pa raw sya for the collegiate wars. totoo ba yun?

[1958mb180d]

up's first game in season 70 is first game of the season. it is the second saturday of july. this is an exciting one with dlsu as their opponent.

[math_techie]

^ is this confirmed? Hindi ba UST ang host next season? wouldn't they want to play in the 1st game of the season, just right after the opening ceremonies?

[jancarlo]

^Nope.

Ganito ang format:

July 7 - Araneta Coliseum
1 PM - Opening c/o UST
2 PM - UP vs. La Salle
4 PM - Ateneo vs. Adamson

July 8 - Araneta Coliseum
2 PM - NU vs. FEU
4 PM - UST vs. UE

[math_techie]

wow, that should be very interesting, kailangan ko na magkatiket as early as possible

[El^Mestizo]

^hahaha!!! natawa naman ako dun...

oo nga naman, hirap na hirap na ngang kumuha ng support from the alumni ang sports program natin, tapos i-o-oppose pa yung donasyon kung saka-sakali ng isang "nagmamagandang-loob" (naka-quote kasi hindi naman natin alam ang tunay nyang motibo... hehehe), hindi naman sila (alumni) makapagbigay ng suporta...

naku, prinsipyo eklat na naman yan, for sure... o kaya, dahil sa nega nga ang rep nitong si MJ... ayaw nila ma-associate sa kanya.

anyway, tsismis lang naman yan kaya wag na natin masyadong pag-aksayahan ng panahon...

i strongly agree with this. *okay*

we should not let the hypocrisy of the minority go into the way of developing our sports programs, especially our basketball team. if MJ is "really sincere" in helping UP out, then let us grab of the opportunity.

kung totoo man ang balitang ito, lalabas na kahiya-hiya ang mga mayayaman na UP alumni dahil isang non-alumni na katulad ni MJ pa ang may magandang loob na tumulong sa State U. :rolleyes:

[jean_grey]

hehe. ang panget naman ng term na prinsipyo eklat. Gets ko yung concern ng mga erm, concerned people kung bakit ayaw nila. Pero, hindi ko alam. Masama ba talaga si MJ? Kasi, kahit napaka-showbiz nya, mas marami pa atang kababayan natin na pinapakinabangan sya kesa kay GMA. Therefore, pakinabangan na din natin siya! Our sports programs, whether they want to admit it or not, needs the financial help.

[dydRe]

Si Mike Gamboa papalakasin ang team natin! May Woody Co pa tayo, Go UP! Let's start our own thread here at

http://www.mirrus.biz/forum_dev

bago pa ang forums site na to

[jean_grey]

^speaking of Woody Co, siya at si MArtin Reyes na ang favorite players ko since wala na si Nestor David. Sana lang malupit din ang sophomore year nila sa UAAP.
Hay, pag-nagchampion ang UP... may himala!! ahaha :rotflmao:

[pangetsibeckham]

letting cruz go is a step forward, a thousand steps forward to be precise.

now, hope we can get a big man, or mold the team into a phoenix suns, just be sure to recruit pure shooters and slashers

[lifeline20]

peyups, patay na si jun bernardino... grabe lagi ko siya nakikita sa mga UP games eh... wala lang...

my prayers

Bono, Cruz leave UAAP, set sights on PBA
By Joey Villar
The Philippine Star 03/25/2007


Adamson’s Ken Bono and University of the Philippines’ Marvin Cruz, two of the best performers in college basketball last year, will not be returning to their respective schools for the coming UAAP season.

Bono, the 2006 UAAP MVP, and Cruz, a member of the UAAP First Mythical Team, have both decided to forgo the final year of their eligibility in the UAAP to make themselves available for the PBA rookie draft in August.

"Marvin (Cruz) will not be returning to UP this season because he will pursue his PBA dream this year," said Charlie Dy, Cruz’s manager.

"He’s applying for the PBA draft," said a source close to Bono.

Bono was reportedly disappointed with the Marcelino-based school’s decision to cut his monthly allowance just a few weeks after powering the Falcons to their first ever Final Four appearance since the format was introduced in the league in the 90s.

"I guess Adamson didn’t need Ken anymore because they cut his allowance after the last UAAP campaign," said the same source.

Cruz, who spearheaded UPIS’ first and only title in the UAAP juniors five years back, had earlier said he would complete his five-year tour of duty with the Maroons but had a change of heart.

His reported spat with UP coach Joe Lipa could be one of the reasons he’ll turn pro this year.

Cruz has been picked as among the backcourt players of the Harbour Centre-RP team bound for the SEABA Championships Cup in Jakarta April 9-14. Bono snubbed the tryout for the same team handled by coach Junel Baculi.

[pangetsibeckham]

boohoo, my daddy dont wanna give me money no more, boohoo, di ko na siya bati. cry baby... a big cry baby.

[simonsmug]

^^'yokosayo! potkurips.



:love: :love: :love:

[marygbleige]

don't throw braganza and maniego completely, ireserba na lang sana.

i agree. and btw, wasn't maniego the junior's mvp? 2005 season, if i'm not mistaken. sayang, homegrown pa naman. :confused:

[jean_grey]

^yep. miggy was 2005 juniors mvp.

[math_techie]

sayang si Miggy Maniego, kasi during the juniors, he was able to muscle his way through, pero in college, masyadong malalaki ang mga kalaban, at ang masama pa hindi naman siya nakapag-adjust to play for a smaller position

[ferminadaza]

Seems like this is a virtual overhaul of the team. I wonder how good the new recruits are, and while I know that this radical adjustment is in preparation for 2008 what about our chances in the coming season? Am asking because I have this feeling that a lot of people are expecting the Maroons to be torn apart and eaten alive on-court this Seaon 70 :(

[lifeline20]

^ hindi naman siguro... kaya ng peyups yan... we can help them win naman.. so lets cheer for them...

[math_techie]

If only our super rookies would improve much as they enter their second season in the UAAP, and if VJ Serios and Magi Sison would be able to hold their own against the other big men from other teams, and if our incoming rookie PG's would turn out to be super rookies too, then I think our team for next season would be better than the team we had last year.

Pero, I also expect the competition to be tougher this time, due to DLSU's re-entry, and ofcourse UE would be eyeing revenge, and Jervy Cruz and USTe would be back, kaya baka mahirapan pa rin tayong maka Final 4

[-=+cZaRiNa+=-]

OT:

Bruce Quebral is on PBB pala. Ngayon ko lang nalaman.:lol:

[El^Mestizo]

hindi natin alam kung anong pwedeng kalabasan ng UP Fighting Maroons in the coming year. ang dating kasi sa akin nung current composition ng team, talagang massive overhaul pero hindi ko masisisi ang coaching staff for doing so kasi ganun din naman ang mangyayari sa team in 2008, the year when UP is celebrating its centennial anniversary and the target year for Joe Lipa's "bring back the crown to Diliman" plans. 2008 is also the year when the Maroons will lose Marvin Cruz should he opted to play his last year in the UAAP this year- meaning, hindi na kasama si Marvelous Marvin sa team at mahirap nang palitan ang iiwan niyang void sa team by that time, unless the rookies of 2006 and 2007 all step-up.

2007 will be a much tougher year for the Maroons to trek the route to the Final Four or, even, the Finals and the Championship title because of the return of perennial finalist La Salle Green Archers, which wants to seek revenge against the other seven members of the UAAP that voted for DLSU's one-year suspension and to regain lost basketball glory; the strength of defending champs UST Growling Tigers; the seemingly strong UE Red Warriors, which showed prowess during the off-season tournaments; and the seemingly unpredictable developments in Ateneo, FEU, Adamson and NU, all of which could be very strong opponents to UP. ngayon na medyo mahaba pa ang panahon bago magsimula ang Season 70, Joe Lipa and the rest of the UP coaching staff should come up with ways to enhance the individual skills of each team player and increase the cohesion and communication of the Maroons as a whole. yung three-month period between now and July should be utilized to the best and the fullest to transform the returning players and the new recruits (Mike Gamboa, Dexter Rosales, Mark Lopez, Anthony Paulino, Kyle Yulo and, hopefully, a VERY GOOD big man who can play power forward or center) into CHAMPION-QUALITY players.

magtiwala lang po tayo sa mga players at sa coaching staff. alam naman nila ang gagawin nila dahil alam nila ang challenges up ahead. ;)


p.s.: anong balita sa laban ng UP Fighting Maroons at 5th Avenue sa semi-finals ng Metroball kanina? :?:

[El^Mestizo]

^ hala! dapat paglabas ni Bruce sa Bahay ni Kuya ay maging active siya sa pagkampanya sa UP Fighting Maroons. ;) :lol:

[ferminadaza]

I trust that the coaching staff would do its best to whip the team into fighting form before the start of the season, as I trust that this radical overhaul was made not without good reason. But should that be a tall order and perhaps asking too much from a team that hasn't played together that long I just hope that our performance next year (read: championship caliber) would be worth all the frustrations that we suffer this coming season. And while I would like to look at it as UP's 'birthing pains' it wouldn't hurt to win not so few a game ;)

[El^Mestizo]

^ actually, i am hoping that the UP Fighting Maroons of the 2007-2008 UAAP season would be transformed into something similar to the UE Red Warriors of the 2004-2005 season- a team comprised of some seasoned veterans (e.g. KG Cañaleta and Paolo Hubalde) and promising rookies (e.g. Marcy Arellano and Earn Saguindel) and lead by then rookie coach Dindo Pumaren that eventually ended up in the Final Four that season.

if only to be developed well, the Maroons have a lot of potential which can bring them not only to its first Final Four appearance in the 21st century (the last time UP was in the Final Four was in 1997, making it the only UAAP member without a Final Four appearance in the 21st century) but also to a possible championship title commencing in 2007 and running for several more years. the Maroons have promising sophies such as Woody Co, Migs De Asis, Martin Reyes, VJ Serios (who would play for UP for the last time this year) and Magi Sison who could bring much needed leadership and skill to the team. UP also has quality rookies waiting for their chance to play college basketball for the first time such as Mike Gamboa, Dexter Rosales, Kyle Yulo, Anthony Paulino and Mark Lopez. of course, the Maroons is under the tutelage of basketball coaching legend Joe Lipa and his very able assistants who can help guide the team from Diliman to a Final Four appearance and, maybe, a championship title in 2007.

hopefully, 2007 will be a kinder year for the UP Fighting Maroons, with the team from Diliman finally snapping its ten-year Final Four appearance drought and, God willing, its 21-year championship title drought. ;)

[mellowmaniac]

How about Vicmel Epres.. any news about him guys.. thanks..

[pangetsibeckham]

^sasali ng pbb next year...

[ferminadaza]

We know that various plans are afoot in preparation for the UP centennial. Colleges/Departments and non-academic units are preparing to launch their respective projects in time for the celebrations. There is even a proposal to sell commemorative tiles inscribed with the name of the donor that will ring the entire academic oval (I'm quite ambivalent about this one, though). But besides hosting the 71st Season, is there a University-wide plan (that will include the alumni) to drum up our campaign for the UAAP crown in 2008?

[ferminadaza]

[QUOTE=El^Mestizo;19378027]^ actually, i am hoping that the UP Fighting Maroons of the 2007-2008 UAAP season would be transformed into something similar to the UE Red Warriors of the 2004-2005 season- a team comprised of some seasoned veterans (e.g. KG Cañaleta and Paolo Hubalde) and promising rookies (e.g. Marcy Arellano and Earn Saguindel) and lead by then rookie coach Dindo Pumaren that eventually ended up in the Final Four that season.

regarding your first post, sadly, hindi ganun ka-cohesive ang UP community as far as support for our sports teams' individual campaigns are concerned. kulang na kulang na nga tayo sa community-based support coming from the students, the faculty and the employees tapos hindi pa ganun ka-supportive ang alumni unlike the private institutions such as Ateneo, La Salle, UST and San Beda na kung saan ay all out ang suporta sa kanilang sports teams.

isa pang problema kung bakit hindi ganun kalaki ang suporta ng UP community sa sports teams natin ay dahil parang naghahanap ang mga tao sa atin ng "credible" na performance sa bawat team. for instance, the turnout for UP MBT games would be much higher would be much higher if and only if the UP community would see the Maroons winning more games and, at least, landing themselves at the Final Four. however, hindi nangyayari yun dahil alam naman natin na medyo "dismal" ang performance natin pagdating sa basketball bukod pa sa halos walang nakukuhang matinong suporta ang MBT mula sa admin, sa mga estudyante, sa faculty, sa mga empleyado at sa alumni.

i am really hoping that there will be a University-wide campaign to jump start our sports teams' run in the 2007-2008 UAAP season both in terms of financial and non-financial (i.e., moral and spiritual) support. we must show some sort of school spirit if we want to boost the morale of our sports teams, most especially the UP MBT, and our Pep Squad ngayon na we aim for glory in the coming UAAP season.

as for keeping our hopes for the UP MBT up, we really have to be optimistic for the team even though it seems like a lot of obstacles are up ahead and our dreams of even landing in the Final Four this year seem to be far-fetched. i always believe in what Joe Lipa and the rest of the UP coaching staff and each and every Maroon can do but we can only boost the morale of the team kung malalaman nila na todo suporta sa kanila ang buong UP community.

if things would turn out fine and if God would allow it, baka hindi lang Final Four ang marating ng UP MBT this year and in the coming years kundi pati ang Finals at ang matagal na nating inaasam na Championship Title sa UAAP men's basketball. we have to remember that UP has a ten-year Final Four appearance drought (we are the only UAAP member without a Final Four appearance in the 21st century) and a 21-year championship title drought. let us all pray for and continue supporting the MBT in order for them to gain the inspiration to snap the two droughts that the Maroons have for quite some time now.

[El^Mestizo]

any news from the Maroons' off-season tournaments? :?:

[bchoter]

hi ferminadaza! :)

UST? Are we talking the the University of Sto. Tomas along Espana in Manila? Kelan pa? Kung makakakuha lang ng maski a fraction of the alumni support for aforementioned schools eh happy na ang Tigers.

[El^Mestizo]

^ well, di hamak naman na mas supportive ang UST administrators and alumni pagdating sa pagsuporta sa university at sa varsity tigers as compared to UP administrators and the majority of UP alumni. :rolleyes:

talagang kapos sa suporta ang UP sports teams from almost every sector of the UP community. :(

[jean_grey]

^kasi, kapos din sa pera ang mga taga- at galing ng- PEYUPS! hehe :lol: Joke lang.

Ideally, dapat all out support talaga tayo sa UP teams. Pero in the real world, hindi ko din masisi yung mga taong walang paki-alam sa Sports program ng peyups dahil baka hindi sila na-iimpress sa performance. Oo nga at mataas tayo sa over-all rankings pero we have to admit na Basketball talaga ang pinaka-sikat na event and I think if the UP MBT fares well this coming season, mas malaki siguro ang makukuha nilang suporta mula sa UP Community.

Pero ako, manonood pa din kahit anong mangyari !:)

[ferminadaza]

School spirit doesn't spill over into the sports arena :( But come to think of it, our school spirit isn't in any way like what Ateneo and DLSU have. Perhaps it's in the the kind of atmosphere and training that we have as a university. I'm not saying that it's all out bad but it has its advantages and at the same time its downside. I just hope that the former outweighs the latter in things that really matter. *okay*


Offf-T: Calling all UP CAL Alumni - Alumni Homecoming on April 14, 2007. Registration starts at 1:00pm at the UP Vargas Museum. See you there!:dazzler:

[El^Mestizo]

^ well, parang ganun na nga ang lumalabas eh. we do not have the same kind of school spirit as that of Ateneo, La Salle, UST, San Beda and other private schools. :(

talagang naniniwala ako na lalabas ang suporta ng UP community sa sports teams natin, most especially the MBT, kapag nakakakita sila ng resulta. remember in 2004, when the MBT had a winning streak (until it was ended by DLSU) and almost made it into the Final Four, doon biglang lumabas ang all-out support na galing sa UP community.

yan ang pressure ngayon sa mga members ng MBT at sa UP coaching staff... limited support now but all-out support would only come when members of the UP community see results. :rolleyes:

[ferminadaza]

^segurista talaga tayo:rotflmao: don't have time to spare for 'losers' tsk, tsk that's one downside :shakehead:

[lifeline20]

iba kasi ang school spirit ng UP... for me , we cant compare it with other schools... :-))

[Boy Scout]

just an observation....some of the prominent UP alums have graduated grade school and high school at either La Salle or Ateneo and because of this they throw their support to these schools rather than their college alma mater espeically during UAAP basketball games.

[math_techie]

^ those prominent UP alumni would throw their support on either Ateneo or La Salle when it comes to the UAAP, but when it comes to running for office...they're UP graduates...hehehehehe

[El^Mestizo]

^ ang problema kasi sa atin sa UP, most of us do not owe loyalty to the alma mater. we're only connected to UP from the time we register as UP students for the first time up to the time of graduation. there is simply no bond that connects the UP alumni to the alma mater, thanks to the apparent lack of school spirit in State U. :rolleyes:

i might have studied HS in La Salle (La Salle Greenhills) and studied college in UP but i have always been more loyal to State U than La Salle (although i have to admit that i love bashing Ateneo during our HS reunions... i'd rather be green than be blue. :glee::lol: ). ;)

[WackoMatt]

There's a rumour that aside from the known blue chips (Gamboa, Rosales & Lopez) UP has also recruited Soc Rivera, Cyron Lozano and Julius Wong.

Anyone care to debunk this?

[Mateen Cleaves]

^Lozano and Wong are already practicing with UP for the summer tournaments.

[El^Mestizo]

^ magandang balita yan, Mateen. UP is starting to become attracting the best of the best potential recruits for college basketball. astig! *okay*

teka... nasaan pala si Anthony Paulino? wala akong balita sa kanya laltely. :?:

[math_techie]

Marvin Cruz practically played as the third import of this year's SEABA Champion's cup....wala lang...sayang lang...

[marygbleige]

MVP of the tournament...woohoo! go marvin! :D

[ferminadaza]

How soon can we know the complete line-up of the MBT? Will someone be kind enough to provide us with the list of our players and their credentials? Thanks in advance. Reading the term "blue-chip players" in in the UP Fighting Maroons thread allows me to hope and dream a little bit more:D

naku sana maging tama na ang grammar niya. Kawawa naman. Anyway, pabayaan na lang ang mga anak ng prayle.

One thing crossed my mind when I saw Reyes play for Welcoat. Sana noon niya ginawa yung magandang performance noong part pa siya ng maroons. sayang. Pero wala na tayo magagawa. Ang pinakasayang pa rin for me was the team of Gahol, Serrano, Mendoza, Gamboa, and Racho that disbanded when they were so ripe for the championship. The team was balanced in terms of offense and defense. Mendoza shot the lights out of the UAAP while Serrano provided the steals and hustle. That team would have been good for at least two crowns.

[pangetsibeckham]

well may punto siya, ang galing na nag ust ngayon. no.1 ang ust sa bar ngayon?

[math_techie]

[Fujima04]

We should know better already. It's really obvious he/she is not from UST.

He's like an orange going into the vineyard shouting: "I'm an apple and we are better than grapes."

On Topic: Julius Wong of Letran already practicing with UP? I thought this guy was wooed already by Ateneo? This really shows how good recruiter Da Nose really is.

[Fujima04]

Well according to your shout,,,,"walang baho, walang dungis".

Well, that's not actually "baho or dungis". Nobody will tolerate much more wish such an incident to happen. And the whole community should not be held liable for the acts of some people only.

And if ever magco-comment, wala na sanang flaming.

On Topic: Got this from Gameface posted by CM_Punk

Welcome to Gameface. Here are the players who are being considered for the final roster this year-

From last year: Sison, Serios, Co, De Asis, Reyes, Epres (6)
Training pool players: Marfori, Hipolito, dela Victoria, Agbayani (4)
New guys/ rookies: Rosales, Lopez, Paulino of FEU-FERN, Gamboa of ADMU, Yulo of San Beda, Wong of Letran, and Lozano of ADDU (7)

The final 14 man roster will be known by June this year ;)

Hindi ba si Alex Wong din nasa UP?

UST-matatalino? Is this a joke?!

[bchoter]

^ Dude, you should know better than that. Posers abound and don't fall to their trap.

Let this be an exclusive UP Fighting Maroons thread and ignore the trolls.

Fujima, I gathered in gamface that Wong was just a pahabol on the last day and he was not actively pursued by UP. That makes da Nose more impressive. Hindi pa nirerecruit nagdadatingan na. Must be the nose.

[Mateen Cleaves]

Hindi ba si Alex Wong din nasa UP?

No. Nag-tryout si Alex sa UP. At maganda naman ang pinakita. Matangkad, matapang, at may potential talaga. Kaya lang, kailangan pa niya tapusin ang high school. Walang magagawa ang UP hangga't wala pang resulta ang PEP test niya.

As for Julius Wong, ang alam nga namin ay nag-tryout na siya sa Ateneo noon pa. Kaya malaki ang gulat ng coaches -- siempre may kahalong tuwa na rin -- nung bigla na lang nagpakita sa gym yung bata.

[math_techie]

After the good season produced by UP's de Asis, Reyes and Co (especially Co), those good HS players would really be putting UP at the top of their priority list....iba na talaga ang magic ng Da Nose. Sana lang, eh magmature na sila ng mas maaga, 21 years ng tagtuyot dito sa Diliman.

[bchoter]

2008 looks more and more possible for UP. Iba talaga si coach Joe Lipa.

[El^Mestizo]

the timeless "charisma" of Joe Lipa towards basketball star wannabes is really a blessing to the UP MBT. if not to the presence of Da Nose in Diliman, wala sigurong mga basketball star wannabes ang pupunta sa mga tryouts sa CHK at wala sigurong mga tulad nina Woody Co, Migs De Asis, Martin Reyes, Mike Gamboa at Dexter Rosales na maglalaro para sa Maroons.

Mateen: nakakagulat ang mga developments sa MBT ngayon. yung mga blue chip rookies na target ng mga schools tulad ng Ateneo, La Salle at UST, puro napupunta sa atin sa UP. i just hope that these new recruits, along with those carry overs from the 2006-2007 UP MBT line-up, would mature fast in time for the 2007-2008 UAAP season and UP's bid to end its ten-year Final Four appearance drought and, God willing, 21-year Championship Title drought.

[lifeline20]

^ i feel the excitement hahahahaha ... other names? :-?

[jean_grey]

^ako din! hehe. can't wait to see the rookies in action. and the sophomores as well. at sana malupit din ang sina woody co at reyes at de asis. tsaka si magi sison. hopefully, nagmature silang lahat dahil kelangan ng team yun ngayong wala halos veteran, except si Epres, tama ba?

[El^Mestizo]

heard a rumor that the UP Fighting Maroons got eight blue chip recruits for Season 70:

* Mike Gamboa (Ateneo HS)
* Dexter Rosales (FEU-FERN)
* Socrates Rivera (FEU-FERN)
* Anthony Paulino (FEU-FERN)
* Mark Lopez (FEU-FERN)
* Kyle Yulo (San Beda HS)
* Julius Wong (Letran HS)
* Cyron Lozano (Ateneo de Davao daw)

lusot na rin daw sila sa VAAS.

any confirmation? :?:

[lifeline20]

^ hehe... the team comes from all walks of life hehe

[El^Mestizo]

^ exciting, isn't it? :D :laugh:

well, the best of luck to the MBT in Season 70. hopefully, both the ten-year Final Four appearance drought and the 21-year championship title drought would end in 2007. ;)

[gfy]

Julius Wong wanted to go to Ateneo and waited and waited... So Mateen you have been hiding Soc Rivera all along. Even FEU people didn't know where he was hehe.

[hacksaw]

You hear the thunder in the distance and then that faint smell of rain. You feel the first drops fall and you know that its only a matter a time before the rain drenches and quenches you.

I hear the thunder in Diliman. The DROUGHT is soon coming to an end. :)

[Mateen Cleaves]

Julius Wong wanted to go to Ateneo and waited and waited... So Mateen you have been hiding Soc Rivera all along. Even FEU people didn't know where he was hehe.

Not really. In the case of Rivera, UP waited and waited and waited... Actually, he only joined the practices last Thursday. :)

[math_techie]

I think, as long as they play under a good system (well halos sure na naman yun), Diliman will be in for a title run within the next 3 or 4 years. Pero, for 2008? We need a lot of maturity from our rookies and sophomores for that to happen.

[bchoter]

The pieces are there. They just have to fall into their proper places. With Da Nose at the helm that's almost a cinch.

[bchoter]

[Mateen Cleaves]

The depth of young, raw talent on this line-up reminds me of the 2005 UST team. Hopefully, we won't need to wait til the 2nd round for the team to really come together. :)

[tamarawz_14]

wala na kasi spot si rivera sa tams it seems mas marami *** deserving sa spot than rivera (dats what i think)... i think si jonas paguia na lang *** kinuha nila from baby tams... saka pinayagan na ni montinola *** mga baby tams to transfer sa UP... well good luck UP!!!!

[hacksaw]

^Hans Knutel is still with you guys. I'm sure he's a welcome addition to the tams.Two things:
1. The disbanding of the the tams after S69
2. the release of rivera, lopez and rosales
is to me an indication of how deep an inventory feu has.

OT

I hope these boys mature fast enough to meet the our title aspirations for 2008. I personally think that this will come in 2009.

[princess_slavie]

^ hinde taga uste yung nagwawala diyan sa taas.. troll lang yan..

anyways, who he will be the captain of up this year?? i think masyado pa bata si de asis and co..

[El^Mestizo]

^ it could either be VJ Serios (who would be playing his last year in the UAAP in Season 70) or Vicmel Epres (the last remaining Vergara boy in the team). ;)

[jack]

wow... I hope they will finally do well this year!

[princess_slavie]

^^ si nestor david ba naging captain ng u.p.? sorry im not from u.p. eh pero i really admired his work ethic kasi laging nasa game yung focus niya.. was cruz the captain last year?

[El^Mestizo]

^ last year's team captain was Nestor David. ;)

[pangetsibeckham]

anu height nung socrates rivera?

[El^Mestizo]

^ mga 6'4" or 6'5" yata. Soc Rivera is the "star player" of the FEU-FERN Baby Tamaraws and, just like Mike Gamboa of the Ateneo Blue Eaglets, a member of the 2006 UAAP Juniors Mythical Five.

many call Soc Rivera as the young Arwind Santos- magaling nang tumira sa labas, magaling pang pumorma at tumira sa loob at pati porma ni Arwind Santos, kuhang kuha nung bata. sobrang swerte ng UP dahil pinag-aagawan ang batang ito ng maraming teams sa UAAP at sa NCAA, just like the other seven players that the Maroons were able to snatch- Gamboa, Wong, Rosales, Lopez, Paulino, Yulo and Lozano.

[ferminadaza]

^If everything seems to be falling into its proper places, that means all we need for us to snatch a place in the final four is for the team to work on their cohesion and for the UP community to provide solid support. The future truly looks rosy!

If I remember it correctly, our turnovers (brought about by unecessary miscues) spelled a huge difference between our victories and losses last season. Those turnovers almost gave me a heart attack. I hope Coach Joe could prevent my premature death this season :lol:


Proud to be AKBAYAN!

[El^Mestizo]

^ well said, ferminadaza. :)

i am hoping that the boys, most especially the rookies, would really know each other and become more cohesive as a team just in time for Season 70. maraming magandang balita na lumalabas ngayon regarding sa recruitment pero mas maganda kung mas magiging battle-hardened ang mga bata natin during the off-season tournaments para mas lalo silang maging handa for the upcoming UAAP season. i really hope they mature in time for UP's bid to end its ten-year Final Four appearance drought and, God-willing, 21-year championship title drought in 2007.

as for community support, talagang kailangan yan. umpisa pa lang, bakbakan na kaagad ng matitinding pep rallies sa CHK Gym. darating din naman ng kusa ang suporta mula sa UP community kapag nakita nila na maganda ang tinatakbo ng laro ng Maroons sa UAAP. ;)

i see a UE Red Warriors of 2004 in the UP Fighting Maroons of 2007- a team mostly comprised of rookies and sophomores but clear contenders for the 2007 UAAP men's basketball championship title.

[math_techie]

During the 2005 season, after UP got to an early 3-0 start, medyo makikita mo na nagbabalik ang support. We were able to occupy a substantial portion of the Araneta during the UP-Ateneo game. Tapos during the 2nd Battle of Katipunan, at the BEG, na occupy natin ang mga 1/2 ng bleachers BEG, during the 1st part of the game, mas maraming taga-UP kesa sa mga taga Ateneo.

I think if they can string 2 or 3 early wins, unti-unting pupunta ang mga taga-UP sa laro.

[ferminadaza]

Thanks, El Mestizo :)

I understand that we usually have the pep rallies in the gym. But have we tried having them in, let's say the AS steps where student traffic is at its heaviest? Baka lang kasi hindi ganoon ka-accessible ang gym at ang mga pupunta dun ay yun lang talagang malaki na ang suporta sa team. If we hold the pep rallies at the AS steps it would certainly attract the attention and perhaps pique the imagination of a lot of students, non-acad staff and faculty.


Proud to be AKBAYAN!

[El^Mestizo]

^ depende na yan sa organizers ng pep rally if they want to shift location. kung ako kasi ang masusunod, i would have two pep rallies per year- a pep rally to coincide with the UP Fair at the Sunken Garden and the pep rally before the start of the UAAP season. ;)

hmmmmmmmm... naisip ko rin yan eh. kung hindi sa gym gagawin ang pep rally, pwedeng either sa harapan ng AS or sa Sunken Garden. dapat bakbakin sa publicity ang pep rally para puntahan ng mga estudyante.

however, i have to agree with what math_techie said. talagang hindi ganun kalaki ang suporta ng UP community not only sa MBT but to all other UP sports teams. dumadating lang ang suporta kapag nakakakita ang mga taga-UP ng resulta, thus increasing the pressure on coaches and members of UP varsity teams to perform very well in the UAAP and other sporting events where State U participates. :(

[math_techie]

Maybe, what they can do is for the admin to suspend all classes for one afternoon, and then the Pep, together with the varsity would march along the acad oval (parang lantern parade), tapos tuwing hihinto sa tapat ng AS Steps or sa Engg Steps, the pep or some performers would perform, tapps ipapakilala nila yung mga varsity players.

[jancarlo]

El_Mestizo: Hoping for an Ateneo-UP Finals in 2008. Haha. Sabi nila yun daw yung time na malakas tayo. Haha.

[jean_grey]

^hehe. I'm hoping for that too. Sana. :)

[El^Mestizo]

math_techie: magandang idea yan. :)

kung sa Academic Oval gagawin yung parang pep rally na parade ang dating, there should be three stops- the AS steps, the Engineering steps and, for sentimental reasons, the Oblation. of course, dapat maki-coordinate ang administration sa plan na ito by suspending classes for just one afternoon in order to give way to the all-UP community pep rally. ;)


jancarlo: hmmmm... posible, pero papayag ba naman ang UST at La Salle nyan? maganda muna siguro umpisahan ang lahat sa Big Four Final Four sa 2007 (except when makasilat sa pwesto ang UE at isa sa Big Four [UP, ADMU, DLSU and UST] ang matanggal) tapos saka na pag-usapan ang Finals match sa 2008. ;)

of course, sa 2008, i hope it could be any one among UP vs ADMU, UP vs DLSU and UP vs UST sa Finals, with the Maroons breaking the "jinx" by emerging as 2008 UAAP men's basketball champions. :D

[hacksaw]

"build it and they will come". Win those games and the support will come.

[El^Mestizo]

^ that is very true, which is exactly the reason the pressure on the players and the coaches are very high when it comes to enlisting the support of the UP community. it seems like the community would only give their support when they see results. :rolleyes:

[BLUE*ahole]

El_Mestizo: Hoping for an Ateneo-UP Finals in 2008. Haha. Sabi nila yun daw yung time na malakas tayo. Haha.


This just doesn't look right. That has to be UP-Ateneo, not Ateneo-UP. The more popular and better school must always come first when matching them together, not the lesser known school. It's the same way people say: Harvard-Dartmouth or Oxford-Bristol.

I can understand everytime you say Ateneo-Adamson or Ateneo UST... but Ateneo-UP??? Give me a break! You must be fantasizing.

[jean_grey]

^hehe. Let's not. Happy lang tayo sa thread ng Peyups. I don't think jancarlo was trying to insinuate anything by that post. UP-Ateneo or Ateneo-UP for the finals, basta isa dun ang UP, happy na ko. hehe :)

[sweet_ryan]

wow, 2 1/2 moths to go and tapos na din ang paghihintay ko! i am so excited especially that UP has the most promising rookies this year!

[pangetsibeckham]

ferminadaza: no need to worry about turnovers anymore, cruz is already off to the pba.

[jean_grey]

^I don't think he's ready for the PBA. Pero go lang. If he thinks now is his time, goodluck sa kanya.

[pangetsibeckham]

anak ng... ready na yun. hala, tsupi!!! hehe

[jean_grey]

^haha. don't get me wrong, okay na ko sa Maroons na wala siya. The future looks bright. :lol: But, I still think he's not PBA material yet(?). Mag-PBL muna siya.

[lifeline20]

nakakasabay ko mag-gym si serios... nakakahiya lang ... gusto ko sanang sabihin ... VJ , musta? Musta training. kaya ba? hehe

[El^Mestizo]

sana may mag-update sa atin ng mga nangyayari sa off-season tournaments ng UP Maroons, most especially sa Nike Summer League at sa Fil-Oil Invitational Cup. ;)

God bless the Maroons in Season 70. :)

[Pancho Jr]

nakakasabay ko mag-gym si serios... nakakahiya lang ... gusto ko sanang sabihin ... VJ , musta? Musta training. kaya ba? hehe

nakasabay ko dati si Serios sa Free Weights section ng FF The Block. Pero mga two months ago pa yata yun. Pangit ba ang weight training program ng CHK at kailangan pa nya magpunta sa commercial na gym? After nun nakita ko rin kasama nya who looks to be his girlfriend sa home section ng department store. Actually una kong napansin yung girlfriend nya, yumyum eh. tapos namukhaan ko na *** yung kasamang matangkad na lalaki nung girl, si Serios pala hehe.:bop:

[math_techie]

^bakit? anu nangyari?

sabi sa gameface (pio_valenz and mateen cleaves), nagpakita daw kasi ng double nipple exposure si Gamboa, (yung bagong PG ng UP from Ateneo), kaya ayun, tinawagan ng technical yung bata...eh di siyempre walk-out si Lipa...hahahaha

^They're back in that tournament again. Nga pala there's a game between the maroons and an Indonesian college team sa CHK at 4pm TODAY.

[pangetsibeckham]

baka di natipuan ng ref yung nipples nung gamboa, hindi niya type ang kulay. bakla!!!

[math_techie]

[hahahaok]

Guys,
Ano po ba course ni VJ, Migs, Martin and Woody Co? Wala lang,curious lang po. Pati sana ibang players ng men's basketball. Pati rin sana mga rookies. Hehe. Excited na 'ko! Sana lang maayos na case ni Soc, (of course sana in favor of UP).

[pangetsibeckham]

you guys want up to make it to the finals?

get a second nestor david, only taller.we shouldve made it to the final four at least during david's stay, we wasted that chance.

transform woody co into a power player, ala vj serios

teach migs de asis basic basketball dribbling

please feed martin reyes, a good protein diet would suffice

A new hope, a new home

By Rick Olivares

“WOODY!” barks Joe Lipa toward his sophomore forward Woodward Co, who won last University Athletic Association season’s Rookie of the Year award. “Take a free throw. If you make it, water break tayo. If not, sprint kayong lahat.”

Co misses the free throw as the dead-tired University of the Philippines (UP) Maroons let out a collective groan. They have been practicing for more than three hours now on this sunny Saturday morning in preparation for the Season 70 Men’s Basketball campaign. They just ran coach Joe Lipa’s five-minute sprint drill that caps their practices. It’s designed to see how the players raise their energy level that should serve them in good stead in a game’s closing minutes, explains assistant coach Jojo Villa.

Sophomore forward Veejay Serios, who is nursing an ankle sprain, mans the electronic timer. Lipa signals for him to add another minute. The 15 players scatter into the three courts and run a series of sets predicated on constant motion.

“Sprint, Soc. Sprint,” thunders Lipa at rookie Socrates Rivera from Far Eastern University (FEU)-FERN.

The buzzer goes off. “Take another free throw, Woody.”

Rookie point guard Mike Gamboa, late of Ateneo’s champion Blue Eaglets team, clutches a plastic cup, ready to make a dash toward the water cooler. “Shoot mo,” he eggs on amid a buzz of similar words of encouragement.

The ball bounces on the rim once, twice before it settles in. The team lets out a collective whoop and sigh of relief. Practice is over.

Lipa walks over to where the throng of dehydrated players gulping down the precious gallons of ice-cold water. “Sa puso ang labanan, boys,” summarizes their legendary coach. “Diyan tayo magkakasubukan. Never give up.”

He then fishes out Rivera and two other recruits (or walk-ins) from FEU-FERN—guards Mark Lopez and Dexter Rosales—to tell their story on not giving up on their hoops dreams.

Rivera, his sweat dripping profusely, doesn’t mince his words. “Syempre gusto rin naman naming maglaro sa seniors ng FEU,” reveals the 6’5” player from Pampanga. “Pero nu’ng na-disband ’yung seniors nang di sila nakapasok sa Final Four, eh, napaisip kami na paano kung hindi rin kami nakapasok sa semis? Saan kami pupulutin pagkatapos? Sayang ’yung pagkakataon. Hindi naman masamang magbalak magpunta kung saan ka may chance ng magandang future.”

Lopez adds: “Lahat kami ganun ’yung pakiramdam kaya kami umalis. Magulo talaga.”

Rivera and Lopez were put on a “protected list” by FEU officials as they reached an agreement with their UP counterparts to stem the exodus of the Morayta-based school’s blue-chip players. Rosales and Jomar Paulino, who both weren’t on that protected list, were let go. “Marami na raw silang point guard,” explains Rosales, who was clearly disappointed after he was led to believe that he had a place on the senior’s squad. “Gan’un naman ’dun, magkamali ka lang, ayaw ka na ng team management.”

When FEU officials found out that Lopez and, later on, Rivera were trying out at UP, their scholarships were revoked and were informed that they had to pay certain dues that they accrued over the years—food allowances, transportation expenses, etc.

FEU athletics director Mark Molina said that these dues are normal and are always settled before players move on. Lopez was billed P16,000, while Rivera was tagged P116,000. Both were shocked that they had to settle any amount at all, since they weren’t informed of any “payables” when they were first recruited. What makes it even more surprising is that Rosales, who was also on scholarship, wasn’t asked to pay anything.

“Asar siguro sila sa amin. Pero mukhang mas asar sila kay Soc,” jokes Lopez. They recount how in a recent match between the two schools in a preseason tournament the newly reorganized Tamaraws were instructed to show no mercy and to pummel them into submission. The Tamaraws won as expected but only by eight points, which was a moral victory of sorts for the UP team, since they were said to be of no match to the perennial basketball power. “Personalan na masyado ‘to,” says Rivera, shaking his head. “Siguro napagalitan sila sa locker room dahil gan’un lang ’yung pagkapanalo nila.”

In spite of the rift, Molina believes that it will all be resolved soon. “I expect him to suit up for UP in the coming season. It is just an unfortunate incident.”

The incident has sparked the suspiciously timed passing of what is now called “The Soc Rivera Rule,” where high-school players who wish to transfer to another school for college should first secure a release, if not sit out a year of residency. “The proposal for that has been on the table for a couple of years now,” confirms Ricky Palou, Ateneo de Manila University’s athletics director. “It was passed just recently and all parties—those for and against—made their feelings known about it. But it wasn’t like it was rammed down our throats.”

The voting went 4-2, in favor of the rule with Ateneo and UP being the only dissenting votes. University of the East, being the host school this year, abstained and would cast its vote in the event of a tie. De La Salle University wasn’t present at the meeting since its representative would only come onboard as of the first week of June.

“I spoke with [FEU team manager] Anton Montinola,” agrees Lipa. “As soon as the dues for Soc are settled, then they will release his papers. But we still have to discuss this some more, because we don’t know where to get that kind of amount.”

The Maroons are on their way to the dorm for a quick shower. They have team lunch at The Fort and the rookies—especially the ones from FEU-FERN—are clearly excited. “Parang pamilya kami rito,” says Rivera before parting. “Gusto ko lang makapaglaro.”

There’s a fresh breeze of hope in the State University right now in spite of the current row with FEU. It has two talented batches of rookies, including this current one, ensuring that they’ll be competitive over the next few years. The dingy gym has certainly seen better days but to Soc Rivera, Mark Lopez, Dexter Rosales and Jomar Paulino, it’s home. And they don’t mind running sprints as long as they have Co to bail them out and Lipa to back them up.

[jean_grey]

Hala. Parang ang sama naman.. Saan naman kaya kukuha ng pangbayad yung mga yun? :eek:

Di ko masyado naintindihan yung logic behind that new rule. Parang para sakin kasi, college=new life. Di ko gets kung bakit kelangan pa mag-sit out for one season katulad kung magtransfer ka.. Ewan. Sana maayos na para makapaglaro na yung mga rookies for UP.

Excited na ko mag-start ang Season 70. Yung NCAA may patalastas na sa Studio 23 eh.

[boogerflicker]

ano yung Soc Rivera rule na yun. Di ba dapat may freedom of choice ka sa college. Ano yun pagaari sila ng eskwelahan? May contract ba yun? Tama hinala ko. Professional team ang FEU.

[jean_grey]

Nalalabuan lang ako sa idea na kelangan pa nila bayaran yung mga expenses eh natapos naman nila yunh UAAP juniors sa FEU so di ba dapat quits-quits na? Poor boys.

[El^Mestizo]

^ ganyan talaga. hostage taker si Montinola at humihingi siya ng ransom para sa mga batang atleta na hino-hostage niya. :naughty:

well, ewan lang natin kung totoo na pumayag si Montinola na i-release sa UP si Soc Rivera in exchange for P15,000. kung totoo man yun, mukhang pera talaga ang kumag. :rolleyes:

hmmmm... i am wondering what Jonas Paguia is thinking right now. :naughty3:

[plucker_08]

sa halagang 15,000 lang?!?!

hehehe...

Nanalo ba ang UST against UP nung Season 69? Teka, huli atang panalo ng UST vs. UP sa UAAP first round noong season 67. Anyway, sports program of UST is better than UP. (Satisfied?) Thread namin ito, hope you can respect other UP threads na walang ginagawang atake sa inyo! Naturingang mga katoliko, kilos barbaro naman. Just leave.


Pero sana lang noh! Nirespeto din ng UST ang Ateneo-DLSU rivalry at ginawang pang-Sunday Blockbuster ang laro. :bop:

You've got it all wrong, people. I am simply pointing out that the Thomasians are on a rampage attacking different schools in PEX and in their very own USTexchange.

Just a small reminder not to trust these people

My last post here. No problema.

Agree. That is why they decided to attack UP and La Salle inside their own backyard, initially.

Ateneo seems to be their initial target in PEX. :bop:

any news on the rivera issue?

there is a circulating line-up at peyups.com right now, and the line-up includes Soc Rivera.

[redmunk08]

hi Maroons,

sino ang players ng UP this season? si Coach Lipa pa rin ba?

[rudboy]

tentative line-up (courtesy of Peyups.com)

4 Gamboa
5 Yulo
6 Rosales
7 Serios
8 Epres
9 dela Victoria
10 Agbayani
11 Sison
12 Reyes
13 Lozano
14 Marfori
15 Hipolito
16 Co
17 Lopez
18 de Asis
19 Wong
21 Rivera

Yes...Coach Da Nose is still at the helm!

Please indicate their height.

[El^Mestizo]

the heights of those i know...

4 Gamboa (5'6")
5 Yulo (5'11")
6 Rosales (5'10")
7 Serios (6'3")
8 Epres (5'10")
9 dela Victoria (6'0")
10 Agbayani (nakalimutan ko na height niya but he is a small forward)
11 Sison (6'6")
12 Reyes (6'0")
13 Lozano (6'4")
14 Marfori (6'4")
15 Hipolito (6'1")
16 Co (6'3")
17 Lopez (6'3")
18 De Asis (5'8")
19 Wong (6'1")
21 Rivera (6'5")

[Aleancelo]

So, if they lose Rivera because of the recent brouhaha, UP will only have 1 legitimate center in the person of Sison, who certainly is not yet in the league of Paras, Juinio and Gahol. I think De Asis stands more than 5'8".

So, if they lose Rivera because of the recent brouhaha, UP will only have 1 legitimate center in the person of Sison, who certainly is not yet in the league of Paras, Juinio and Gahol. I think De Asis stands more than 5'8".

well, si Sison nga ang masasabi natin na legitimate center for the Maroons. his back-ups are Soc Rivera and Andrew Marfori, although they are more of power forwards than centers (AFAIK, Rivera is classified as a power forward-center with him being the second tallest guy in the line-up). hopefully, maayos na ang problema ni Soc at cleared siya para maglaro for UP this year. i am also hoping that Magi Sison has matured significantly dahil talagang kailangan ng UP ang mga katulad niya.

possible centers: Sison and Rivera
possible power forwards: Marfori and Lozano

as for De Asis, mga between 5'8" and 5'10" siguro ang height nung bata. basta ang sigurado ako ay mas matangkad siya kay Marvin Cruz. :D

heard a rumor that Soc Rivera is already cleared to play for UP in Season 70. ;)

[jean_grey]

UP-AdU game of Season 69, first round was on replay on Studio 23 kanina. Naiisip ko na mamimiss ko makita si Nestor David maglaro for UP. Tapos, naisip ko, si Marvin Cruz din, tapos biglang.... Turn-over! :rotflmao: Goodbye, Marvin Cruz! haha :rotflmao:

Good news yung kay Soc Rivera kung tunay nga na cleared na sya to play for the Maroons!!

UP FIGHT!!

[BlueMaroon]

For me the key players who need to step up for the team to perform well this season are the following:

Serios - needs to fill the shoes vacated by Nestor in every way
Gamboa - will need to make an impact by not playing like a rookie and more like a seasoned veteran. Can use his intensity to offset his lack in height and experience
Reyes - i heard he plays D now. Just needs to improve on his aggressiveness and offensive arsenal. Should emulate Jeff Chan
Sison/Marfori - know their roles..get the rebounds and block shots
Lopez - provide quality minutes when called upon

[El^Mestizo]

the final and official line-up of the UP Fighting Maroons for UAAP Season 70, c/o astro_boy of peyups.com:

Agbayani, Jayfelson
Co, Woody
De Asis, Migs
Dela Victoria, Czarlo
Epres, Vic
Gamboa, Mike
Hipolito, Dioboy
Lopez, Mark
Marfori, Andrew
Reyes, Martin
Rivera, Soc
Rosales, Dexter
Serios, Veejay
Sison, Magi

team captains: VJ Serios and Vicmel Epres

[El^Mestizo]

pwede bang may maglagay ng height and eligiblity years
ty

Agbayani, Jayfelson (i forgot his height, but he's a small forward)
Co, Woody (6'3"; 2nd yr)
De Asis, Migs (5'8"; 2nd yr)
Dela Victoria, Czarlo (6'0"; 1st yr)
Epres, Vic (5'10"; graduating)
Gamboa, Mike (5'6"; 1st yr)
Hipolito, Dioboy (6'1"; 1st yr; former practice pool player)
Lopez, Mark (6'3"; 1st yr)
Marfori, Andrew (6'4"; 1st yr; former practice pool player; Miggy Maniego's batchmate in UPIS)
Reyes, Martin (6'0"; 2nd yr)
Rivera, Soc (6'5"; 1st yr)
Rosales, Dexter (5'10"; 1st yr)
Serios, Veejay (6'3"; graduating)
Sison, Magi (6'6"; 2nd yr)
Wong, Julius (6'1"; 1st yr)

re: Agbayani's eligibility, hindi ko alam kung paano mag-apply ang rule sa kanya. he is a batchmate of JV Casio, Ford Arao and Yuri Escueta in San Beda and made his debut in the UAAP in 2003 and played for UP until 2005. he sat out half of UAAP Season 68 (2005-2006) due to injuries and he was not included in the UP line-up for Season 69 (2006-2007), thus spending time in the practice pool as he was in the process of recovery. ngayong 2007-2008 season lang ulit nakabalik si Agbayani sa team.

kung hindi counted ang 2006-2007 season, he will be eligible to play for UP until next season.

[sscls]

de Asis stands 5'11 and 3/4" to be exact

[tearl]

so this will be agbayani's 4th yr in 6 years out of 7 years
so he is eligible next year if still below age 25

[hahahaok]

Pati po sana course/program enrolled. Heheh. Tnx

UP alumni are holding a fundraising dinner (P3,000/plate) on June 30 at the Bahay ng Alumni. The proceeds will be used for the preparation of the UP Fighting Maroons.

yup. i will be there, thanks to a complimentary ticket given to me by a good friend of mine who happens to be a brod of Joe Lipa. :)

medyo malaki-laki yung amount na kailangan habulin ng MBT- P3,000,000. hopefully malaki ang maitulong ng "Maroon Pride" sa team. kailangan talaga ng MBT at ng iba pang sports teams ng UP ang financial and moral support from the UP community.

by the way, aside from "Maroon Pride", meron ding fund raiser entitled "Push on UP IV" na gagawin on Wednesday, July 4, 2007 sa UP Theater, 3:00PM and 7:00PM. P100 lang ang ticket kaya sana makapunta ang lahat ng nagmamahal at sumusuporta sa MBT at iba pang UP sports teams bilang tulong na rin sa kanila. :)

P100 lang ang ticket kaya sana makapunta ang lahat ng nagmamahal at sumusuporta sa MBT at iba pang UP sports teams bilang tulong na rin sa kanila. :)

Tickets for the "Maroon Pride" dinner are available at the UPAA office. I am not sure if I should buy a ticket (i'm on vacation from grad studies at U of Hawai'i) since I only took up law at UP. I took my undergrad at DLSU and the Green Archers are already well-supported by loyal alumni.

Yung Pep Rally sa July 4, 3pm-7pm ata, hindi 3 and 7 pm. Check ko din ulit. Punta ako, punta din kayo! Let's support our teams! Hindi lang 'to for MBT kasi mag=present din yung ibang varsity teams eh. Yung sure na alam ko, sasayaw daw ang Men's Soccer Team. :naughty:

1. last night's "Maroon Pride" was actually a fund-raising dinner exclusively for the benefit of the UP MBT. "Push on UP IV" on July 4 (take note: 3:00PM and 7:00PM, UP Theater) is the UP Pep Rally, which will be participated in by the MBT and all other UP sports teams.

funds to be derived from the sales of "Push on UP IV" tickets will be used to answer the needs of ALL UP sports teams (e.g. repair of the team bus, repair of the dance area).


2. well, i attended "Maroon Pride" last night and i did not get any souvenir item. however, it's just fine with me if there was no souvenir (aside from the ticket) because i was much happier having bonded with the MBT and the UP coaching staff. :)

as for the Pep Rally on Wednesday, hindi ko lang alam kung meron.

How did the Maroon Pride dinner go? I was not able to buy a ticket for that fundraising event.

hi! :)

Maroon Pride went well, although the venue (UP Bahay ng Alumni) was not that packed. it was one fun night because the members of the MBT were so game and actually interacted with members of the UP community and friends who were present at the event. all members of the 15-man line-up this year were present, so were the members of the UP coaching staff. some former members of the UP MBT such as Coach Ryan Gregorio and former UP courtside reporter Gretchen Fullido were also present.

it was nice though that the event was also used as a venue by some alumni and friends to air their concerns for the team to Coach Joe Lipa. Coach Ilong recognized and answered all concerns by those present at the event, although he did not make any promise regarding the performance of the Maroons this year except that he wanted all of the boys to GRADUATE FROM UP and not become mere basketball mercenaries. ;)

Maroon Pride was also the first time that i saw the new UP jersey. the jersey's design was far better than those from previous seasons. one other distinguishable feature of the new UP jersey: this year's corporate sponsor, Eastern Telecom, has its name printed on the jersey. ;)

may sponsor na ang MBT natin ngayon???? buti naman.

[Aleancelo]

Sino kaya ang muse ng team sa opening ceremonies? I doubt kung available si Bb. Pilipinas Universe Anna Teresa Licaros because of her hectic class schedule at the College of Law.

[eddie_vedder]

wag na yun. hmmm, si gretchen na lang. hehe

[boy_wonder]
