UST Men's Volleyball Team, CAMPIONE

[encanto]

NOTE: Waaah! Isang linggo na hindi pa napo-post 'tong thread na 'to. Aywan ko kung ano na ang nangyari sa nauna kong ginawa. Mapapanis na ang topic. Buti na lang na-save ko 'yung content at 'eto nga, I am reposting it. Sana ma-approve na agad ito ng admin. Salamat!

Amazing how they handled the very crucial and intense fifth set. Despite the momentum on FEU's side and the boos from the opposing crowd, it's the BIG BIG HEART of a CAMPIONE that led them to victory. Hindi sila nagpaangas at nagpasindak sa iba, they carried the situation and themselves very well.

Quoting voltaire_madder from ust.net.ph

"Then the all deciding 5th set. After that very much heated and controversial 4th set, FEU definitely had the momentum coming into the homestretch. But I saw the UST players not letting the moment get into them. They willed themselves to jump around and perk themselves up. The YJ started drumming and the Golden Growling Gallery cheered on. Then the players started to cheer too. At the start of the set, cheering was very intense. Then UST started to go for the kill... After the 1st TO (the only one for it is only race to 15 at this point), the UST players kicked their chests towards the UST Growling Golden Gallery as a gesture of a fighting heart and there was no turning back."

That's something unknown to people who didn't watch the game live. Para sa ibang Thomasians na hindi nakapanood, sana nakita ninyo kung gaano kalaki ang PUSO at GRACE na pinakita ng players natin, you'll be so so proud.

Nakakatuwa rin na may mga supporters ng UST WVT (non-Thomasians even) na pumunta at nag-cheer sa men's team natin. Naie-extend na rin ang support nila pati sa MVT which is heartwarming. Kudos sa lahat ng mga naniwala!

http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh37/janecx/Sports/start.jpg

The team is very young and there's a lot more ahead of them. I hope with their victory makita rin ng tao na they deserve recognition and support as much as what our WVT has been receiving. At sana mas lalong ma-appreciate ng Thomasians ang men's volleyball. Hope this will be a good start.

ONE FOR UST!
CAMPIONE FOREVER!

[encanto]

Hay... salamat at na-up na rin 'tong thread na 'to. THANKS ADA! :)

---
I think it's about time that a thread is dedicated solely to UST MVT since a lot of people are starting to notice and appreciate them now. They just don't remain as shadows now to the ever popular UST WVT, they're making names for themselves: Pecaña, Roque, Balse, Torres, Ramos, Ucang, Ilano, Reyes, Dimaculangan, Artajos, Say.


---
By the way, Tiger Pack has a video tribute (it includes post-game celebration, UST's last point, and there's a little of men's and women's tennis as well) which will be shown this Saturday . After that, we'll upload it to YouTube for everyone to see. We'll post the link here soon. :)

[weightloss]

Finally! I was waiting for this...

I just love the gestures of the squad everytime they score. Hindi maangas...

unlike the other... oh well, congratulations to UST MVT!!

INDEED it was very obvious... NAKITA KO DIN YUNG PUSO na sinasabi nila...


Viva Santo Tomas!!

[Ashlars]

True, the men rightfully deserve the attention that's being heaped on the women.

I was there to watch and enjoy this match. I saw how the boys managed to keep their composure and class intact.

Imbued with God's unending grace, never did the boys give the FEU supporters a mean stare or even a dirty finger as what FEU's Magnaye did. They weren't just skillful volleyball players, they were, more importantly, gentlemen.

A talented and class act through and through.

Congrats again to the UST Men's Volleyball Team! *okay*

[pablohoney36]

I like very much the posts here, most especially the quoted one from voltaire_madder.

It brought back the feelings I felt before, during and after the game.
What made it more memorable for me to see WVT players and former players crying with joy, not to mention the countless "mirons" who were there as well, shedding tears of joy and hugging their seatmates. It was really a special moment.

Thank God I'm A Thomasian.

PUSO
CAMPIONE
VIVA SANTO TOMAS

* The pictures are all great, by the way!

[Ashlars]

Ako din, thankful that God and my parents guided me to become a Thomasian.

Is this the same UST team that lost in the semis to UP last year?

Please post more pictures.

[clej]

WOW! am speechless... am having goosebumps. thank you encanto for making this thread.

[rx_Tomasino]

I was very grateful that I came to witness a championship that was played with pure HEART and PRIDE. Iba talaga kapag PUSO ang ginamit, nadadaig ang lahat. Kudos to this team, ambabata pa nila, malayo pa mararating nila.

Iba talaga kapag PUSONG TOMASINO.

[clawed_out]

Congratulations to our TIGER SPIKERS!

It was a long and hard earned journey.

It was all worth it.

Go USTe!

[haseq]

As the cliche goes, the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.

The victory goes to UST players graduating from their stint at the UAAP, namely Glenn Artajos and Jerome Say.

The defeat goes to former champions Edjet Mabbayad and FEU Tamaraws Team Captain Jesse Lopez, both graduating from the UAAP themselves.

It's past. People have moved on.

But there's another lesson to be learned: it ain't over 'til it's over and never underestimate the heart of a fighter.

If faith can move mountains, the heart can render giants to fall.

And fall they did.

Naalala ko lang. Sabi ng mga taga-UST, "hindi naman lahat pwedeng sa 'tin. Hindi rin naman pwedeng lahat sa kanila. Tinalo ng FEU ang Adamson sa Women's; tinalo naman natin sila sa Men's; samantalang tinalo naman tayo ng Adamson sa baseball (sa loob ng isang araw.)"

Ganyan talaga ang buhay... masalimuot...

Parang UAAP... makulay... madrama...

Parang mga taga-Santo Tomas: minsan mahirap maintindihan... minsan simple lang din naman... subalit tunay na pinagpala (imbued with unending grace.) :lol:

[encanto]

^ Oo nga, sa tatlong eskwelahan lang umikot ang finals at tropeo nung Linggong iyun: UST, FEU, AdU.

---
Proud ako sa feat ng MVT natin. Walang dehadehado, laban kung laban. Magaling kung magaling. We usually hear these lines kasi: "bata pa kasi ang team namin", "for a very young team, maganda na 'yung nilaro nila", "sobrang lakas kasi ng kalaban, expected na 'yun", "nasa rebuilding stage pa rin kasi kami", etc. That irks me. I mean, kung ganyan parati ang mindset, abay it's just a matter of cycle na lang (gaya ng sabi ko dati patungkol sa mga basketball team) which should not be the case. LABAN!

Once you're there, dapat wala ng urungan. Always show your damn best. PUSO. And I am glad that's what UST MVT just did. Same goes with our men's tennis team. Panay rookie at sophomore ang sumabak last year at na-sweep pa nila ang competition. And this year, SWEEP ULIT! :)

Again, another "NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE" moment for UST.

CAMPIONE! :)

[simpleminds]

:D

when i first saw the players of the UAAP MVT during the playoffs, everyone seems a stranger
to me. to most of us, we haven't heard or seen them before. after the championship round,
we got to know the character behind these personalities.

so i'm posting (and will be posting some more) pics of them again here so that we may get
to know them a little better.

http://img115.imageshack.us/img115/6726/imgp3064ge0.jpg

*okay*

http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/5363/imgp3071ul9.jpg

i'm one with haseq in giving the ust men's squad just a 30% chance of beating feu twice in
the finals, given their opponent's level of play and how they whipped the espana boys during
the playoffs. but they showed true grit during the championship round even how young
most players are. this is one time i'm glad to be proven wrong. :p

[encanto]

Dati si Balse lang ang paborito ko sa men's. Ngayon ang hirap ng mamili ng idol. Halos lahat nag-step up.

Bilib ako kay Pecaña. Maski tatlo ang ba-block sa kanya, napapalusot niya ang bola. Matulis! I thik the word "matinik" best describes him. Si Torres naman hindi ma-contain ng FEU, lalo na 'pag maganda ang pagkaka-set. Almost sure point na. Aside from the fact that he has an excellent view of the court with his towering height, his imposing figure causes intimidation and confusion to his opponents, making him all the more unpredictable.

[Ashlars]

encanto, love your Chucks! *okay*

[pablohoney36]

@Ashlars: I believe so.

[clawed_out]

There are lots of individuals who stepped up or who polished their skills this season.

I hope more stones from this set will get polished.

Congratulations again!

[Ashlars]

@Ashlars: I believe so.

Evidently, they've really improved a lot and the boys can only get better.

[clej]

ang nawala lang yata sa UST from last year ay si Boto, who is one of our star player. babalik yata siya sa season 71. imagine kung nakapaglaro pa siya nung season 70... he is good daw.

[simpleminds]

is what actually won it for the tigers. they were able to keep in check not only alcarde...

http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/7498/ximgp3102ff0.jpg

but even the mighty edjet mabbayad too.

[prince_sniffer]

more pics please...i was there to witness the victory of the tiger spikers over the feu...it was a nice game...ang saya din nung nawalan ng ilaw...hehehe

[simpleminds]

saya nga rin nung brownout. everyone took out their celfones and turned on their displays. then the cheering
squads tried to outcheer each other in the middle of all that darkness.

http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/8244/ximgp2974ok1.jpg

the only bad thing is that it took place in the middle of a rally and a spike from one of the ust attackers. good
thing is i think it might have been an out judging from the angle of the ball. but it could have gone either way.

[haseq]

Okay. Now it can be told. The Tiger Pack, a UST alumni support group to Thomasian student-athletes, had an asalto for the UST Tiger Spikers, newly crowned champions of the Men's Volleyball Tournament at the UAAP Season 70, and third placer UST Women's Volleyball Team, today at the UST Gym Annex.

The men's team showed up 100% while there were a few absentees among the ladies, notably Denise Patricia Tan, who at the moment, is still being diagnosed at the UST Hospital for possible dengue or typhoid fever.

There were more or less 20 members of the Tiger Pack who came, and a few non-Thomasians, notably the number 1 fan of Venus Bernal, and a friend who often cheers with us, although he's not from UST.

(Pictures of the event might be posted here at this thread anytime soon.)

The objective of the asalto is three-fold:


For the players of both men's and women's teams to have a reunion of sorts between themselves, and with their fans, including Bernal's fans.

For the Tiger Pack to show firsthand their appreciation of both teams by giving them something (more like many things) to eat, and something to remember the event by.

For them to know us a little bit better since they are already familiar with our faces and for some of us, our names.


The program's highlights included:


the showing of an appreciation audio-visual presentation (AVP) for the MVT, aptly entitled "Amazing", and the showing of the AVP created by the fans of the WVT from Davao;

paying of tribute to UST-WVT stalwarts Ging Balse and Venus Bernal -- and Joey Torrijos who couldn't make it to the event -- who saw their last playing year at the UAAP this season; "roasting" of the two MVT graduating players at the UAAP, namely Jerome Say and Glenn Artajos who is already married, according to Coach Emil Lontok.

eating, more eating, and more eating (the boys really have their appetites cut out for them -- read: they really eat very well. :lol: )

awarding of tokens and token certificates

photo ops, and more photo ops.

Some sidelights:

Angelie Tabaquero apologized to us for their failure to defend the championships. She said that "things happened that way, despite their effort and perseverance."

Ging and Vhen couldn't hold back their tears -- both were just overwhelmed by the attention given to them by the Tiger Pack, and the public in general. Vhen was paid tribute to by a fan from TUP who helped design a website just for her. The fan said "his life changed because of the example showed by Vhen when playing on the court." Ging, on the other hand, heard the tribute given to her from the emcee -- the text of the tribute was from a fan and a friend who couldn't bear the thought of crying it out with Ging -- so she just gave her piece for the emcee to read.

The MVT have their nicknames for each other. While each one was being called by the emcee for him to receive his token and certificate of appreciation, the guys at the back were yelling his specific nickname that goes, for example, "Gorilla," "Butiki," or "Paniki," and the like. Interestingly, they have a special for Jan Torres, except that I can't remember it now.

During the "reply" portion, Mark Dalit responded on behalf of his team, and said that their victory would not have been possible without the Tiger Pack's "heartful" cheering, despite the fact that "our cheering section was outnumbered by FEU." Rookie of the Year Jason Ramos almost broke down in tears and professed that he was overwhelmed by the support the Tiger Pack bestowed on him, despite the fact that he's still on his first year at the university and the UAAP.

Coach Emil had a mouthful to say about his two graduating wards. (No, I cannot print the "sermon" here, but its gist has something to do with both boys being "pasaways" at one point during their playing years.) Then Coach Emil had a surprising revelation. "In 25 years of my coaching the UST-MVT, this is the first time that a group had actually prepared a celebration for us," he said.

Our group was very happy with the result of our preparations, in spite of the snags and frustrations we encountered along the way. I, personally, am very happy because I felt we were able to achieve our objective of raising the morale of both teams, especially the women's side. I thought we made our point: regardless what happens to our teams, we'll be there for them; if they need anything from us, we're just here for them, no matter what.

Going home, I texted a player of our MVT and personally said thank you to him and his team for showing up to the event. He replied, "kami po 'yung dapat magpasalamat. Pauwi na po ako ng Laguna. Salamat po ulit."

Some readers probably won't understand where our dedication to our players is coming from. This much I can say: "They're not just our players. They are our younger brothers and sisters that we have pledged to support, and protect if need be, despite the odds."

I'm a Thomasian and I'm proud to be one. ;)

from the very short period i've come to know the players, both MVT and (especially) the WVT... and the fans of both squads, i can totally understand. especially that i'm a thomasian, too. *okay*

i have gotten a glimpse of the preparation on ust.net i think, or was it ustexchange(?), but then totally forgot about it coz of work. so i didn't have a clue it would finally push through. i'm not sure if it's for select guests only, but for sure there are many more than willing to support this valiant gesture.

[clej]

^sa ust.net.ph po. were not connected anymore with ustexchange. actually, open po ito sa lahat ng thomasian supporters but the thing is, yung iba medyo naaalangan pumunta dahil nahihiya daw sila. anyway, first time pa lang kasi ito kaya siguro ganun. sa mga succeeding event sana magkalakas loob na silang sumama sa amin tutal mga thomasians and thomasian sipporters naman sila.

btw, why don't you join the tiger pack? mag register ka na at mag-post sa ust.net.ph. na-feature nga pala kami sa varsitarian nung february issue.

haseq, nice post.

[Ashlars]

Congrats and great job haseq for organizing such an event that is most certainly apt for our players. *okay*

Had I known there was an event like this, I would've happily volunteered. Perhaps next time, it would be best if a lot of fans would be informed. I'm sure there's a great number of people out there who would love to personally celebrate with and commend our players for their strong performances this year.

I hope there would be pictures posted soonest.

[Ichophone]

Win some, lose some. So they say.

I may not be a big fan of the UST-Volleyball teams (as you might see) but i surely can't help but commend the matches they dished out with their foes and for their fans. Congratulations for getting the Crown UST-MVT!. The defense that you showed FEU's MVT on the 3rd Game was extremely tight and was a feat to watch together with the attacks your roster gave.

Hopefully more people have been exposed to Men's Volleyball this year and it will have more air time in the same vein as it's counterpart, Women's Volleyball and would prompt Studio 23 to cut some of their BLAH shows since this tourney only happens once a year.

With all these, i hope to see the UST VT's again the next season together with all the other teams and be served matches that are jampacked with Volleyball goodness.

Peace to all. Peace be all.

[simpleminds]

thanks, ichophone.

i was watching the replay of game 2 of the men's vball final kanina, and i'm really beginning to like the level of play there better than in the distaff side. quality vball talaga. fast action, intelligent plays. these are tailor made for afficionados such as you who can appreciate the finer points of the game.

thing is, we really haven't seen any game outside of the playoffs and the championship matches. baka din naman boring yung ibang game, but we're not to know kasi nga di naman na-televised. so sana nga, kung di man full coverage, mas maaga sana ma-pickup ng studio 23 ang men's games.

congrats to all the teams this season 70. you all contributed to making it as popular as it is now.

[Altwegg]

Hello, UST-MVT fans!

There's also a dedicated thread for the men over at www.ust.net.ph

[haseq]

CONGRATULATIONS are in order for those who planned for and organized the event of 15th of March, 2008!

Thanks to everyone who contributed money, resources, time and effort to make the event successful:

To the University Administration for lending us the sound system, the LCD projector, and other technical requirements that we need; and especially for providing us with the venue for free;

To those who prepared and brought the food (special mention are the banana muffins and the deliciously prepared lasagna);

To those who decorated the place; the emcees; those who serenaded the players; those who served as official photographers;

To the person who prepared the audio-visual presentation entitled "Amazing", making the MVT members shout -- more like cringe -- after seeing their faces on the screen, and especially how they looked like when they cry;

To the member who designed the tokens and laid out the certificates;

To the alumni support group that produced that glorious tarpaulin of the MVT;

To our dear coaches -- thank you for letting your guard down for a moment, and spent the afternoon with all of us (Coach August, get well soon!)

And most especially to our dear Tiger Spikers and Lady Tigresses -- this event would not have been possible without your presence. *okay* (Ging at Vhen, saludo ang buong Thomasian community sa inyo! Joey Torrijos, maraming salamat sa "kagandahang" ipinakita mo sa loob ng court at sa labas nito. :) Glenn at Jerome, hindi namin kayo masyadong nakilala sa maikling panahon ng aming pagchi-cheer sa team ninyo. Ganunpaman, salamat sa inyong PUSO na nakapagpabalik sa higanteng koponan ng Far Eastern University Tamaraws sa lupa. :) Pero Edjet Mabbayad, saludo rin kami sa 'yo! You're still the man! ;) )

Last but not the least, thank you dear Tiger Pack for always being there for our players. We may not outnumber as yet the other alumni cheering squad of other UAAP schools. But we're slowly getting there. Some of us may not yet realize this. But we're really pushing our players to play their best. As one of our MVT players said, "we couldn't quite know how to say this but we sincerely appreciate the fact that we're appreciated." *okay*

(Sabi ni Ging, "maraming salamat dahil sinama nyo pa rin kami sa tribute na ito kahit hindi kami nanalo." Sabi ni Angge "pasensya na at hindi kami nanalo kahit ginawa na namin ang best namin." Sabi ni Vhen, "maraming maraming salamat talaga.")

Hindi lang nila alam, dahil sa kanila -- at ngayon kasama na ang aming Men's Volleyball Team -- maraming mga bata, matanda, mga mag-asawa, at kung sinu-sino pa sa buong bansa ang tumututok sa telebisyon para mapanood sila. Hindi lang nila alam na maraming tao ang napapasaya nila makita lamang sila sa telebisyon, lalu na pag nakita sila sa personal (Denise, magpagaling ka na at sabik ka na uling makita ng mga fans mo!)

Now that UAAP Season 70 is officially over, thank you our dear players for the memories.

We'll see you at the venue anytime soon.

And we promise to cheer.

And cheer some more.

ONE FOR UST!!!

[theo78]

i'm moved by this post...congratulations to the UST MVT...to coach emil...good job! :)

[willy wonka]

Im from FEU but my hats off to the UST Mens Volleyball team. Ending FEU's 3peat is a testament to their heart and desire.

Until next year. Dont let petty incidents affect you. The important thing is you won the title. *okay*

[pablohoney36]

Here's the AVP entitled "AMAZING",
which was previewed during the asalto for the UST-MVT
last Saturday.

http://www.youtube.com/user/gbrewTV

The team had a great time watching the video,
and it brought laughter and tears at the same time.

It was very simple, but beautifully done,
the emotions very much captured by the songs and the pictures.

Enjoy!

ONE FOR UST
VIVA SANTO TOMAS

[stonecold316]

Congrats Tiger Pack for a wonderful meryenda tribute to all of our volleyball players!

[voltaire_mad]

Congratulations, again, to the Santo Tomas Tiger Spikers and Tiger Volleybelles for bringing glory and prestige to the university through volleyball. Kudos to the Thomasian supporters and the Tiger Pack for holding a simple token of appreciation for the teams. They have done their best and truly deserve such accolades.

Viva La Fuerza Tigre!

Viva Santo Tomas!

[rx_Tomasino]

Ang ganda talaga ng AVP.

Pride and heart. "AMAZING".

ONE FOR UST

[kuya_boogie]

when is the replay for game 3?

[clawed_out]

Wala ba sa youtube?

Yung kumpleto ha. :)

salamat.

[encanto]

^^ Bukas na daw ang replay ng game 3, probably 4pm. Not sure sa time. Excited na ako! Makikita na rin natin sa wakas ang kabuuan ng game at awarding. :)

encanto, love your Chucks!

Haha! Thanks! I always get that. LOL!

Pero actually, dirty white lang na Chucks meron ako.

Haha! Thanks! I always get that. LOL!

Pero actually, dirty white lang na Chucks meron ako.


Magha-half day ako bukas just to watch Game 3 in its entirety. Maririnig ko na din ang comments ng annotators. Sayang because I don't think it's Sev Sarmenta who annotated for Game 3. Instead, it's this guy who introduced UST as "University of the...Santo Tomas!"

Kainis!

Dirty white lang din ang Chucks ko. Yung sa avatar mo is so cool!

[pablohoney36]

Instead, it's this guy who introduced UST as "University of the...Santo Tomas!"

Haha.
Tama.
Kakainis talaga ito.

[encanto]

Si Sev Sarmenta ang commentator along with Ian Laurel. Barker lang 'yung nagsabi ng "University of... the Santo Tomas". I think nagdalawang isip lang siya, baka FEU dapat 'yung uunahin niyang i-introduce kung gagawing alphabetical ang order. Nakalimutan din niyang tawagin 'yung pangalan ni John Paul Torres, pareho silang mali nung camera man or nung camera director.

[Ashlars]

^^ Oooh if that's the case then dapat talagang panoorin ang TV version ng Game 3 na ito.

I like Sev Sarmenta. Kahit Atenista sha, he isn't biased unlike Joaqui Trillo. I remember when Joaqui used to annotate, every word that came out of his mouth just reeked of sheer bias in favor of DLSU. Blech!

Going back to Sev, I especially loved it when he mentioned that UST has a "macro" outlook in sports and that UST doesn't just concentrate on basketball.

Great job Sev! *okay*

[clej]

^at tuwang tuwa siya whenever we do the go uste cheer.

[haseq]

Trying to post some pictures for the longest time. But to no avail. I'm quite pathetic. :mecry:


Photo-op after game against La Salle (Feb. 2, 2008)
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3201/2343665656_ef166fb0b2.jpg


So I don't know how this will look like.

So there.

[epalog]

my favorites in the team:

jayson ramos- very young and exuberant. his defense at the back is very dependable. this is a big guy who dives for the ball--something that the tall tigresses should learn to do. more than 50% of the time, the tigers go to him for their first attack kaya minsan medyo basa na.

henry james pecana- sobrang galing pumalo. and i love his reaction whenever he scores walang yabang, pumapalakpak lang na parang bata. medyo error-prone pa nga lang siya dahil minsan nanggigigil eh.

jp torres- nasakanya na 'yung height. malakas pumalo. effective blocker (medyo kulang nga lang nung third game nung championship) at ang pinakamagandang quality niya, nakakapag-adjust siya ng maigi kahit pangit 'yung set sa kanya.

honorable mention- harby ilano and reykarl dimaculangan- both silent killers.

congratulations ulit sa tiger spikers. can't wait to see the replay of game 3 later.

[simpleminds]

mabagal threads ngayon. mukhang everyone is watching the replay. excited na ako mapanood sa tv yung huling laban ng ust at feu.

[Tigercub]

tsk...

saw the replay of Game 3 of the UAAP Men's Volleyball Finals and to my disappointment putol ang 5th set... nasa 9-7 na agad ang score ng 5th set

sana ireplay ulit ng Studio 23 ng buo na... :D

[encanto]

Nakaka-disappoint talaga. Pati awarding pinutol na rin. Sana kasi inuna na lang 'yung replay ng men's dahil nakita naman na ng tao 'yung pagkapanalo ng FEU sa women's division. 'Yung sa men's hindi pa.

Here's the number to call: 9244101. Pa-connect kayo sa Studio 23. Wala pang tao ngayon doon, so sa Sunday o Monday na tayo tumawag. Let's demand for another replay. :)

Tila gulat ang FEU players sa UST sa crucial part ng fifth set. Wala silang reflex pagdating sa floor defense. Ang dami nilang nakapalibot sa bola pero walang kumukuha, nawala bigla 'yung bilis nila.

By the way, ang tagal nung screen-wide shot ng CAMPIONE banner, that's like 35 seconds. :D Sabay pa sa pagkakasabi ni Sev ng "but you know what, don't deny the heart of a champion".

Reminiscent din of season 69 MBT 'yung words ni Sev nung nanalo na ang UST: "Ohhh! And UST has won the men's volleyball title!!!"

sure na bang babalik si boto next year? sabi kasi ng friend ko na volleyball player din, nasaksak daw 'yun eh. maangas daw kasi.

wing spiker ba siya dati o middle? di ko na kasi siya masyado maalala. wala na kasing open na position sa first six eh. ggraduate man si roque, andyan naman si torres.

[coheed18]

Ging and Vhen couldn't hold back their tears -- both were just overwhelmed by the attention given to them by the Tiger Pack, and the public in general. Vhen was paid tribute to by a fan from TUP who helped design a website just for her. The fan said "his life changed because of the example showed by Vhen when playing on the court." Ging, on the other hand, heard the tribute given to her from the emcee -- the text of the tribute was from a fan and a friend who couldn't bear the thought of crying it out with Ging -- so she just gave her piece for the emcee to read.





mayron ba kayong vid nung tribute kay ging and vhen? and dun na rin sa buong event? gusto q sanang makita. thanks!

[clej]

actually walang video tribute for ging ang vhen per se. for the whole team kasi yung video tribute eh. we have a video nung event pero hindi pa siya na-upload pero pictures marami na. visit ka lang sa ust.net.ph punta ka sa UAAP forum. may thread duon.

for those in the know, correct me if i'm wrong... but isn't that the girl of balse?

something i have not posted but have always noticed: ang ganda ng uniform nila. white lagi, sa likod lang nagkakaiba. sana ganito na rin 'yung uniform ng wvt.

sana pati men's basketball team, magkaroon na rin ng black uniform para kakaiba.

[encanto]

^ Yeap, I agree. Their black-white uniform this year is so refreshing. And in a way, makes you think of Salinggawi as well lalo na kung tumtalikod sila in a sequence o sabay-sabay. Nakakatuwa.

If I am not mistaken, nag-black na rin ang women's team natin last year. Nga lang, mas nangibabaw ang black. Lines and letters lang 'yung yellow and white. Cool pa rin tingnan, it gave them the "killer/terminator" look. *okay*

[Ashlars]

I also like the black and white uniform. Dominican colors! The yellow and white uniform looks great as well.

Although 'di pa din ako happy sa quadricentennial logo. Parang nasusunog ang Main Building! Sa dinami dami naman kasing talented na artists ng UST, ba't wala man lang tinap ang UST para gumawa ng talagang matino na quadricentennial logo? :confused:

Anyway, OT na. :lol:

[philippines123]

sino pinakagwapong player? yung totoo ha.

[weightloss]

sino pinakagwapong player? yung totoo ha.

ng UST MVT ba? hmmm.. i think si Balse, di ganon ka-gwapo pero ma-appeal...

si pecana and yung liboro, mukang mga chickboy...


:D

[Ashlars]

Sayang nga pala at the recent Nestea Beach Volley, natalo ang UST team of Jason Ramos and Harbie Ilano.

Results: CSB def. UST 13-21, 21-8, 15-9
SFAC def. UST 21-11, 20-22, 15-12

'Pag two losses, out na ng tournament. Sayang kasi sa second match nila, puro service errors, tas 'di pa mashadong consistent si Ilano. Ramos was really gutting it out though and he really wanted to win.

Hopefully next year, sumali ulit ang UST. Maganda kung Torres-Balse, Torres-Pecaña or Torres-Ramos combo. Inaugural champion pa naman ang UST (1997 men's champion) then sa women's twice na nag-champion ang UST (1998 and 1999).

Although 'di pa din ako happy sa quadricentennial logo. Parang nasusunog ang Main Building! Sa dinami dami naman kasing talented na artists ng UST, ba't wala man lang tinap ang UST para gumawa ng talagang matino na quadricentennial logo? :confused:

Anyway, OT na. :lol:

I think nagpa contest ang UST among its students for the centennial logo but no winner was declared. Eventually, they chose the one submitted by an alumni. There is an explanation for that logo. Visit ka ust.edu.ph then go to 2011 countdown menu.

[Ashlars]

^^ Yeah, I read about it a long time ago. Still, the logo just doesn't seem right for me. UST could've commissioned a noted Thomasian artist to do the logo, instead of staging a contest.

Ampanget talaga ng quadricentennial logo.

Good Luck to our UST Men's Volleyball Team!
they will represent NCR and compete sa PRISAA from April 9-14 sa Zamboanga

ONE FOR UST!!!

[encanto]

^ Yeap! Sana makaabot sila ng finals. I heard teams from the south are really good. Anyhow, ONE FOR UST!

For two straight years, sa UST nanggaling ang "ROY" award (Macabulos and Ramos). Maulit kaya next year?

[epalog]

sayang talaga si macabulos. pero ok na rin kasi nag-champion naman sila this year eh.

anyway, how come si ramos ang roy? he is one of my favorites, pero hindi ba si chris macasaet ang frontrunner for the award?

pero sana nga makakuha ng magagaling na recruits 'yung ust for next year and the seasons to come. at sana tuluy-tuloy 'yung championship.

good luck sa kanila sa zambo!

[stonecold316]

Congratulations to the UST MVT for winning the 2008 PRISAA men's volleyball championships. They defeatead in four sets Angeles University Foundation (AUF) in the finals last Sunday.

No offense meant but quite to the contrary, the design is ingenuous. The designer put his thoughts into it brilliantly! That flame is the "flame of your kindness" (from the UST Hymn) and spells U-S-T. Now that's creativeness.

[clej]

Congratulations to the UST MVT for winnning the championship in the last PRISAA in Zamboanga City. isama na rin natin ang Women's Basketball Team, Softball and Baseball Teams na nag champion din and so with our track and field athletes who also won the championship for NCR together with athletes from FEU and San Beda yata.

Best Attacker - Jayson Ramos

Wow! Rookie 'yan, ha! :)

---
Hala, mukhang isa nga si Macabulos (former "Rookie of the Year" din ng USTe) sa sinasabing bagong recruit ng AdU MVT.

Ano balita kay Boto? Maglalaro pa rin ba siya for USTe this coming season?

[Ashlars]

Bakit naman lumipat ng Adamson yun? Na-debar?

[THE ONLOOKER]

Hala, mukhang isa nga si Macabulos (former "Rookie of the Year" din ng USTe) sa sinasabing bagong recruit ng AdU MVT.

To avoid the 2-year residency, Macabulos opted to play for Assumption Pampanga.

Wrong move. :rotflmao:

[Tigercub]

he (Macabulos) can't play for Adamson according to Coach Odjie, he didn't ask for the release papers required for a 1-year residency, since there are no release papers, he needs 2 years of residency for another uaap team... so in case na sya yun, sa season 72 pa siya...

yes, Jayson Ramos... future MVP of the UAAP...
UAAP Season 70 Rookie of the Year
2008 National PRISAA Best Attacker
and he's only 16 years old *okay*

[epalog]

jayson's really impressive. he and dlsu's macasaet will definitely give us some good match-ups in the future.

[pablohoney36]

To avoid the 2-year residency, Macabulos opted to play for Assumption Pampanga.

Wrong move. :rotflmao:

And that makes him ineligible to play in the UAAP ever again. :rotflmao:

[haseq]

OFF-TOPIC:

The coach of the Philippine Men's National Volleyball Team is Arthur Odjie Mamon, erstwhile Tiger Spiker (champion in the UAAP 1992-1993 Season) and former national player. Assistant coach is George Pascua, former FEU Tamaraw and likewise, a former national player.

Mr. Mamon mentioned that they have already submitted to the Philippine Volleyball Federation the line-up of the national team. But the line-up has yet to be approved.

The more prominent names he mentioned as "potential" national team members are the following:


Edjet Mabbayad
Jesse Lopez
John Paul Torres
Jefferson Magnaye (yes! that not-so-nice guy from FEU)

He mentioned another name -- an 18-year old guy from another school who stands 6' 3". Unfortunately, I can't remember the name as of the moment.

The PVF has not released the allowances of the players since January so the team just practices two times a week (since February at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum.) Asked what their next itinerary is, Coach Mamon just said "next question please." Apparently, the itinerary has also been submitted to the PVF for consideration. But until now, politics continues to affect the already sorry state of volleyball in this country.

Lesson of the day: rivalry in the UAAP ends when the need to represent the country begins (this is from pablohoney36). But the problem is: good intentions do little to further volleyball cause in this country. It would matter if like-minded and really cause-oriented people unite to salvage whatever is left to be salvaged of this sport.

Just reminding everyone that the last time we salvaged a bronze medal at the SEA Games was way back in 1991 when it was held in Manila.

That was a long, long time ago.

(A bronze medal finish in next year's SEA Games would be a very good step in the right direction. Next stop: the 2010 Asian Games!)

For those who are interested to do volunteer work for the Philippine Men's National Volleyball Team, please send me a PM. I'll be meeting with Coach Mamon as soon as he comes back from Puerto Princesa for the Palarong Pambansa (where he and Asst. Coach Pascua will be doing major scouting for potential UAAP players and/or national team members.) If you think you have what it takes to help raise funds for this team and raise the level of awareness of the public about the team itself, please help.

They'll be needing all the help they can get. *okay*

[encanto]

^ Tsk... is it because of politics among some UAAP schools? 'Wag naman sana ganun.

Anyway, haseq, I'll send you a PM. I hope I can be of any help. Malapit na ang 2010!

[haseq]

Hindi naman siguro competition among UAAP schools (pero nangyayari ito sa Women's Volleyball, unfortunately.) I think it's more of who gets to be close to higher-ups (within and among the national sports associations.) Usapin kasi ito ng funding. Normally, kung sino ang mas pinapaboran, sila ang nagiging apple of the eye, so to speak.

Ang problem nga sa men's national volleyball team, wala pa sila ulit napapatunayan since that 3rd place finish at the '91 Manila SEA Games. Last year, hindi sila pinayagang mag-compete sa Thailand dahil "magsasayang lang daw ng pera ang Philippine Volleyball Federation' (pakibasa: matatalo lang sila.)

Parang cycle, di ba? Hindi ka mananalo dahil wala kang support. Ngayon, hindi ka naman susuportahan kung hindi ka mananalo.

Pa'no na yan?

Pero kumusta naman? 'Yung ibang players natin, kahit nagugutom,nagtyatyagang maglaro para sa bansa. (Last year, nakipag-usap ako kay Coach Vip Isada kung anong mga pwedeng gawin para sa women's at men's national teams in terms of fund-raising. Wala ring nangyari dahil wala naman siyang maibigay na tao para tumulong sa 'kin na magplano for fund-raisers.) Sayang ang isang taon.

Sa isang banda, I would like to see it as an opportunity for us to do something again. For one, the coach is Odjie Mamon. He's a great guy and he knows very well what's happening with the team. And he's from UST. Not for anything else, I trust him. We also have Assistant Coach George Pascua from FEU who's very dedicated with what he does. And the other assistant coach. I sincerely believe the team is in very good hands.

This team needs support from external sources.

Kahit hindi naman ako personal member ng PVF, hindi ko ito nakikitang hindrance para tulungan sina Odjie at George. Andami nating magagawa eh. Pero kung walang mag-a-attempt na tulungan sila, magtuturuan lang sila sa grupo nila. In the meantime, paano naman sila Edjet, Jesse, JP, atbp. na gagawin ang lahat para ma-represent lang ang ating bansa sa international competitions? (Gusto ko ring makilala nang personal sina Edjet, atbp para mas maintindihan ko kung ano ang mga pwede nating itulong sa kanila.)

If I don't get to do anything for these guys, I'd be more frustrated. (So far, ang women's national team natin, may mga problem pa rin pero dumarami na ang sumusuporta sa kanila.) I plan to form a core of supporters to map out a plan how to help out the men's national volleyball team.

The target is for the national team to play for next year's SEA Games, initially.

To those who'll be interested to help out in this huge undertaking, please send me a PM. I'll be waiting to read your replies. *okay*

[pau2xxx]

Oh my God for the love of Edjet and Jesse i am willing to help :)

[Tigercub]

parang gusto ko yan ah... para maiba naman... :D
for the RP Team this time...

*okay*

[clej]

maybe somebody could create a separate thread for this para hindi limited sa mga taga uste and discussion.

[Tigercub]

balik na ulit sa training ang UST Men's Volleyball Team this week for UAAP Season 71, and according to Coach Odjie maraming promising na nagtry out para sa team na naka-enroll na sa UST...

*okay*

[clej]

sana makabalik si Boto.

[haseq]

Haven't posted in a while both here in PEx and ust.net.ph. My phone line got cut off two weeks ago.

Anyway, got this PM from Coach Odjie Mamon of the national team. He clarified some items re my posting about the RP Men's Volleyball Team. Here are the clarifications and corrections:


Jeff Magnaye of the FEU Tams is no longer with the national team (upon recommendation of Asst. Coach George Pascua). He was a member of the national team last year. Note that the line-up has been posted by Coach Odjie in another forum (which unfortunately I'm not a member of);

It is not the Philippine Volleyball Federation that has been stalling the approval of the line-up; rather the Philippine Sports Commission which has also delayed the release of the allowances of the players since January;

The name of the guy from AdU is Nino Jeruz;

And yes, the PVF will come out with five-year development plan for national volleyball.

As it is, the coaching staff is under tremendous pressure to prove to the PSC that the team as proposed has the potential of getting at least a bronze medal at next year's SEA Games. With this, all the support that the public can extend to the team will be highly appreciated.

ONE FOR THE PHILIPPINE MEN'S NATIONAL VOLLEYBALL TEAM! *okay*

[pablohoney36]

Are there any tournaments kung saan kasali ang Men's and Women's Volleyball National Teams natin?

This is a great idea.
Walang mangyayari kung iaasa natin sa mga politiko natin -- either wala silang alam, walang pakialam or pang-sariling interes lang ang pakay nila.

[sharp]

Go ust men's volleyball team. Back to back kayo.

[Tigercub]

^ hehehe! sana nga back2back! :D

Best Receiver
1. Pecana, Henry James (UST) - 47.83% Receiving Efficiency
2. Reyes, Charles Glendon (UST) - 46.59% Receiving Efficiency




last year, the team finished 2 rounds (14 games) and recorded:
44.49% hitting percentage
2.5 blocks/set
1.21 ace/set
2.08 digs/set
10.6 excellent sets /set
13.85% receive efficiency

so far, the team is on-track to being more efficient this year.

51.04% hitting percentage
2.60 blocks/set
1.40 ace/set
5.10 digs/set
11.80 excellent sets/set
42.94% receive efficiency



And coaches are still not satisfied with the stats. They want to pull away more.

Wala na yata akong mahihiling pa. Dream team para sa akin. And on top of that, CAMPIONE rin ang attitude ng players. Damn proud UST athletes (so much love for the institution), but graced with down-to-earth attitude. *okay*

[encanto]

The dream CAMPIONE team for me. Proud UST athletes (so much heart/love for the institution) and graced with down-to-earth attitude (same with UST WVT). Kudos to UST MVT coaching staff! ANG LAKAS-LAKAS ng team natin ngayon. :)

[MIGSY_08]

lalaro pa ba si balse o grad na??

Balse, Boto, Reyes & Roque are playing their last year this 71st season.

Black Gold Black White!

[encanto]

Tagal pa ng bakasyon.

Bakbakan na!

[epalog]

the team is just full of talent. daming mahuhugot ng coaching staff sa kanila. sa sobrang talented ng team, madalas nasa sidelines lang si reno roque (last year's mvp) and robertly boto (middle blocker).

another amazing thing about the team is nag-eenjoy talaga sila sa laro nila.

isa pang observation, wala pa silang nakalaban na tumaas 'yung stats nu'ng players nu'ng kabilang team.

ituluy-tuloy na natin 'to!

matayog na pangarap ang 17-0, pero tiwala akong kaya ng ust mvt 'to!

[stonecold316]

Go for the sweep UST MVT!
ONE FOR USTe!

[USTinian_Pride]

May the Good LORD continue to bless my fellow Thomasians and their family with things that matters most in life-a GIFT of good health, happy home & peace of mind! A BLESSED NEW YEAR TO ALL!

[encanto]

Woohoo! Ang layo ng 2nd placer sa UST!

GO UST MVT! Pull away more! We know you can do it! :)

[jancarlo]

Good news UST fans. I just heard na bago na daw ang rule. If UST Men's Team sweeps the tournament, they will automatically be in the Finals. Stepladder rule na like basketball. :)

[ji-o]

@JC
sa Jan 27 na mafa-finalize yan ruling jan

Advantage ng stepladder: the team who swept the 2 rounds will only have to win once against the challenger (15-0)

Disadvantage: momentum breaker ang play-offs/stepladder

[encanto]

Under the strict guidance of the coaching staff, UST MVT will be fine and won't lose steam in the finals.

Tiwala kami sa coaches at sa players. :)

GO FOR THE SWEEP!

[jancarlo]

@Coach Odjie:

Wow sa birthday ko pa talaga mafifinalize. :) Anyway, Okay lang yun. Twice to beat naman eh! :) Matalo man sa isa, may chance ulit para maredeem. Although I think the team can still do that 15-0 sweep. Malaki tiwala ko sa UST MVT. Lalo na sa idol kong si Henry. :)

[animorah]

marami ngang nagkakagusto kay henry. lalo na mga gays.

sa tingin ko hindi matitigil ang momentum kahit na mag step ladder pa.
sa training ng ustmvt at sa tutelage ni coach mamon... tuloy tuloy na yan. kapag nasweep nila ang double round elims sure na champs na sila... kahit sino pa makalaban sa finals.

wag lang gapangin ng masasamang elemento ang mvt kagaya ng nangyayari sa wvt at gvt

[encanto]

Actually, kahit hindi mag-step ladder format, I think kayang-kaya pa rin nila mag 17-0.

Actually, parang mas gusto ko na ngayon ang 17-0.

UST MVT. 17-0. :)

First ever in UAAP history.

Ganda. *okay*

[An0nimus]

Sino pinakacute para sa inyo dito sa Men's Volleyball ng USTe?

[theo78]

longest streaks since the final four format basketball/volleyball
FEU 15-game winning streak...men's volleyball season 70 (lost to UST 1-2 in the finals)
UE 14-game winning streak...men's basketball season 70 (lost to DLSU 0-2 in the finals)

[Tigercub]

di ko alam if the step-ladder format is good news, but i have faith in the coaches and players of the UST MVT, final four man or step-ladder, the will to win remains the same...

kita-kits sa sunday for the 9th game ng UST MVT!!! :D

[encanto]

^ Yeap! Sabi ni Coach in case mag-stepladder nga, ia-adjust niya ang program nila in such a way na magpi-peak ang players sa finals.

So, whichever way, hindi nagpapabaya ang coaches natin.


---
Ang galing. Totoy na totoy lang ang players natin last season (and yet champions). Ngayon, mga kinakatakutang halimaw na. Isang taon lang ang nakalipas.

[clawed_out]

that's a good thing.

Viva Santo Tomas!

[Tigercub]

January 27 natin malalaman if Final Four or step-ladder ang semis...

Updated Standings:

UST 8 - 0
DLSU 7 - 3

paano yan kung walisin nila ang lahat ng laro

gusto ko pa naman na makita ang laro nila sa TV

kung step ladder intay na lang sila tapos sa finals

isang panalo lang champion na, walang gaanong

TV exposure.

^ Once we hit final four round, all the games will be televised.
Prolly, less exposure if they sweep the elimination but nonetheless, sweet. If ever the step ladder format pushes through then we should pray that our team keep their focus on the goal because this alone will be the biggest threat in securing a back to back title.

Go UST-MVT.

[clej]

^fossil, ilang laro mo na kaming hindi sinisipot. mukhang busy-busyhan ka eh. si jay din absent nung last 2 games. buti na lang kasama ko lagi si manong. kahapon medyo nadagdagan dahil sumating si tigercub at ballerz.

ang sarap talaga ng hatawan pag men's game. i guess at this early congratulations is in order. sigurado CAMPIONE ulit ang ating men's team.

[theo78]

basta ang finals sked is still:
2 pm - women's finals
4 pm - men's finals

[Tigercub]

tomorrow na ang Jan 27, malalaman na natin if step-ladder o final four format ang semis...
and yes, if step-ladder less TV exposure for our UST MVT pero at least sure ng nasa Finals! :D



9 - 0 na!!! *okay*

VIVA SANTO TOMAS!!!

sana magtuloy tuloy na sila to defend the championship...

[bobbygarcia]

anyone here who is really an expert in volleyball or who really knows the present rules on what happens next if ust wins all 14 games, deretso na ba sila sa finals, sa best of 3 games na? thanks

[Tigercub]

according to coach odjie in his most recent post in ust.net.ph, in case of a 14-game sweep, the semis will be a step-ladder format, #3 vs. #4 then the winner of this game will face the #2 team who has a twice-to-beat advantage, then the winner will face UST MVT in the FINALS for a Best-of-3 affair...

i hope i answered that right...

btw, im not a volleyball expert, hehehe! :D

[encanto]

So, hindi na 17-0 or 15-0.

16-0 na!

GO UST MVT! Kayang-kaya ninyo 'yan!

[bobbygarcia]

Thanks for your response. It does mean ust mvt has less exposure in TV he he. Anyway, it's the viewers loss of watching their prowess not mine,besides i have the prerogative of watching their games in person.

[Tigercub]

no prob bobby, yes the team may have less TV exposure compared to last uaap season but this TV exposure is going to be historic, since the team is gunning for a sweep!
:D

let's troop to the venues, mas masarap manood ng live, and BE PART OF HISTORY!

(irereplay din naman yan ng Studio 23! lol!)

[epalog]

some naysayers are saying that the ust mvt may suffer from the same fate that the ue mbt suffered in season 70.

ridiculous.

1st. ue was challenged by strong teams in that season--dlsu, admu, and feu. while ust was in the final four, its losses against ue were landslides. in the case of ust, the only team that was "sort of"able to challenge the team's prowess was feu. adu was able to take a set in the first round. these teams are no longer in the f4.

2nd. volleyball is an entirely different sport than basketball. hindi points ang labanan, kungdi ang number of sets.

3rd. the coaching staff has shown all season long that it knows what it is doing with the boys. i trust coach emil and coach odgie that the boys will peak at the right time--the championship.

4th. the boys are teeming with talent. wala kang maitatapon na player eh. at confident ako na alam nila kung ano ang nasa linya.

laki ng tiwala ko sa mvt na hindi sila magpapabaya at makukuha nila ang back-to-back!

b2b for the ust mvt!

Those aren't naysayers epalog.

They are the inggiteros and inggiteras.

[Tigercub]

i have confidence in the coaching staff of the UST MVT and its players na they won't take any game lightly, marami-rami rin akong napanood na games ng UST MVT this season (1st round vs DLSU, FEU, ADMU, 2nd round vs AdU, FEU) and i've seen the team bounce back from the opposing team's big leads and still the UST MVT manages to win those sets (UST-ADMU 1st round 2nd set, UST-FEU 1st round 1st set)

basta, one game at a time... now that we're approaching the semis phase of the tournament


TIGER PACK will be there!!! *okay*

[encanto]

some naysayers are saying that the ust mvt may suffer from the same fate that the ue mbt suffered in season 70.

That's the opinion of bandwagoners. It's irritating nga. Pare-pareho ang sinasabi, "with matching" analyses pa pero paulit-ulit lang naman.

And take note, sabi ni Coach, naka-iskeydyul na ang pag-peak ng UST MVT. With a very systematic and intelligent coach like Coach "Monmon" (hehe), and with a very talented bunch of young players (not to mention MAY PUSO), UST is bound to make history- and erase lame opinion patterns once and for all.

[Keverloo]

Please post pictures of JP Torres! Ang gwapo!!!

[bobbygarcia]

ust mvt to suffer like ue mbt? Parang too far from reality because lahat sila magagaling, pag off ang laro ni pecana, andyan si torres, pag off ang laro ni torres andyan si balse, ilano, roque, so on and so forth,and the fact na si dimaculangan talaga ang nucleus of the their games na parang totoy pa rin itsura he he. Ayan ha i know their surnames by heart kasi outstanding talaga laro nila. Kulang na lang ust mvt vs ust mvt na lang maglaro, may thrill pa, LOL. Unlike in other teams, ang naalala ko lang outstanding (recent past and present seasons) ay lopez and mabbayad of feu (medyo mayayabang nga lang, kaya turn off), macasaet of la sallle, the rest so so lang talaga.

[Tigercub]

^ meron din naman magagaling from the other teams, hehehe... malalim talaga this year ang bench ng UST MVT, kung sino ang hugutin, delivers plus the stats speak for itself, 5 out of 10 players for the Best Attacker are from UST, maganda ang reception ng team, tapos ang galing ng sets ni Karl, well distributed ang bola

Good Reception + Excellent Sets + Powerful, Well-Placed Attacks = UST MVT! *okay*

[bobbygarcia]

kung sino ang mananalo bet la salle and up ang siyang makakuha ng twice to beat, sure naman kasi na matatalo na ang ateneo sa ust {that's how sure i am), so it's bet ateneo and loser of up/lasalle game for the third spot

I think the domination of UST is as good as maka graduate sina Torres at Ramos so mga 4 years pa yon...:lol: I doubt they will suffer the ue mbt meltdown. The team is young at lahat hungry to prove their worth. Eventhough I will always be a UP fan, I'm betting for a UST sweep. We may have a deep and tall bench but yours is better..:rotflmao:

One request though, Coach Odjie please lang ibabad nyo naman si Boto. He is really a force to reckon with marami pang taon sina Ramos at Ilano last year na ni Boto kaya please lang...hehehe:rotflmao:

[Tigercub]

palapit na ng palapit ang saturday hehehe! :D

it's highly unlikely that the UST MVT will have a meltdown in the finals in case of a sweep, siguro mangyayari lang yun if off ang laro ng lahat ng players ng team, parang impossible na mangyari na sabay sabay off ang laro nila JP, Henry, Harby, Jayson, Ting, and Karl (the usual starting 6), kung off man ang laro ng isa sa kanila, puedeng ipasok si Reno, Toh, and even Mark and Julius can deliver some points, and kung off man ang setting ni Karl andyan naman si Kerr to take over, ganun kalalim ang bench ng UST MVT

at tingin ko kung off man ang isang aspect ng game ng isang player ng UST MVT, kunwari kung off ang attacks, babawi yan sa iba like reception, blocking, and floor defense... remember in volleyball, puede maka-score from the opponent's errors unlike in basketball

*okay*

[neo17]

^ My request Robertly Boto starting 6 this saturday against Ateneo. UST bench is so deep kaya nga walang nag shishine sa kanila for individual honors because they play as a team always. Defense and offense are always deadly.

Maganda siguro makita All Star vs. UST alone. Sina Pareja, Belgado, Macasaet, Alcarde, Jeruz at Sto Tomas magkakakampi laban sa first 6 ng UST. That would be very interesting...hehehe

[epalog]

^both are very nice ideas!

i especially would love to see #2! hahahaha

[Tigercub]

hehehe! :D
magkaroon din sana ng V-League for Men, the Men's game is equally as exciting as the distaff side, or mas exciting pa nga...

sabado na!!! :D

14-0!!!

UST def. Ateneo (25-16, 25-16, 25-?)


First time ko ngayong season manuod ng UST-MVT, grabe pala ang fire-power ng team na'to. 3rd set pa pinasok si Torres 23-15 yata yung score UST lamang mukang kay Torres ipapatapos at mukang tinatago na ng UST si Torres in preparation for the finals.

Go USTe!!!

[epalog]

yehey! congrats to the ust mvt!

14-0!

2 more wins for the 2nd straight championship!

b2b for the ust mvt!

[Tagalog]

pano po ba ang format pag sweep??

[epalog]

step-ladder format daw.

ust's already in the finals.

tapos #2 vs #3 for twice to beat advantage. #4 will play the loser between 2 and 3.

kung sinong mananalo dun, will face the other team with the ttb advantage.

whoever comes out victorious will play ust.







only to settle in second place.


hahahaha!

go uste!

[gioboy]

OT: Karamihan ng parents ng Ateneo-MVT and some supporters (students and fans), may pagka-bastos. naririnig ko lang dati sa kwento pero kanina nakita and narinig ko talaga kung gaano sila ka-grabe. Ang daming uncalled for remarks while UST is doing their warm-up. Hindi pa nga start ng game puro kababuyan mga pinag-sasabi.

[Publico]

^^ Don't be surprised.

[epalog]

^^does not really matter.

kitang-kita naman sa laro ng tigers na hindi sila affected eh. hahaha

[gioboy]

^^does not really matter.

kitang-kita naman sa laro ng tigers na hindi sila affected eh. hahaha

and another funny thing that happened during the official warm up ng UST, tinamaan ng bola ni Torres yung isang handy cam ng Ateneo na naka-tripod sa may right side ng Arena. Bilis ng karma!!! :lol:

[encanto]

^ Awwww... Sayang naman the mega-cool cam with tripod. Pormang-porma pa naman. :lol: Tight contender ba? :lol:

Anyway, tama na ang "joke" time.

Congrats UST MVT! 2 more wins, and you're a LEGEND! PUSO pa rin!

Now I'm wondering what's "packing" in the TP's lair for the finals. Excited na ako. :)

Naku gioboy, diyan kilalang kilala ang Ateneo supporters, lalo na ang mga parents! They're a bunch of foul-mouthed individuals who think they have a right to everything in this world just because they're Ateneans.

I suppose that's the "Ateneo way." :rolleyes:

Ang galing talaga ng USTMVT! Solid na solid ang mga blocks against Ateneo. Ang sarap sumigaw tuwing maba-block ang Ateneo ng: "Yun na 'yon?! Is that the best that you can do?!" :lol:

At shempre, ang mga palo ibang klase! Each shot is hit with such ferocity that I wondered if it left divots on court. :lol:

BTW, nice to see you at the Arena gioboy. :) VLT and I hope to see more of you in the future.

What is happening to this thread? My messages are not being posted

[bobbygarcia]

i beg to disagree that those bastos middle-aged women were all parents of ateneo students na kalapit kong nanood sa men's game kanina because they were still there during the afternoon games, maybe mga amuyong lang, one bastos woman even greeted benting who was watching na parang close sila.Nagbehaved lang sila ng may nagsigaw sa kanila ng ."CHEER LANG TAYO NG CHEER, WAG MGA BUNGANGERANG SQUATTER"and "UST, ANG TALINO NYONG MAGLARO"; overwhelmned din siguro sila sa daming spectators na kampi sa ust. In fairness to Benting and the rest of the younger crowds from ust, la salle and ateneo ( may logo damit nila), they showed good breeding, no foul language heard from them. To ust mvt, all i can say is ANG GALING GALING NYO, hanep!

Yan na ba ngayon ang format ng step-ladder? During the UEMBT sweep DLSU has the twice to beat advantage kasi sila ang number 2 nagkaron lang ng playoff against Ateneo for number 2 kasi tie sila after the elimination round.

I think the match between UP and DlSU later will decide kung sino ang number 2 then the loser will be number 3 or 4 dahil tie sila ng Ateneo. So wala ng playoff for number 2 kasi the loser later will either be number 3 or 4.

BTW thanks for letting Boto play yesterday grabe ang galing talaga ng blocking nya force to reckon with talaga sa net. Napaka boring ng game kitang kita na intimidated ang Ateneo sa kanila kahapon. Pero di mo naman sila masisisi dahil sobrang lakas ng UST MVT and I think di naman sila talaga nag effort yesterday which is a wise decision baka ma injured pa ang players nila and knowing Ateneo napaka hina talaga ng bench nila...:lol:

[haseq]

Basta ang sabi ko kay Mark Dalit sa text ko sa kanya, "Pag hindi kayo naka-sweep, kahit mag-champion pa kayo, bawas ang pagkain nyo sa asalto."

It always works. Asus! Ang lalakas ba namang kumain ng mga iyan. And to think na nahihiya-hiya pa kunyari. :rotflmao::rotflmao::rotflmao:

[epalog]

^yup, ganun na nga, sorry.

di ko kasi alam record ng dlsu at up eh.

record lang ng ust ang madaling imemorize. 14-0 na pwede pa maging 16-0. hehehehe.

ang di ko lang sure, kung twice-to-beat din ang ust sa finals, gaya nang bagong rule sa step-ladder sa bball.

[pablohoney36]

It's final: There's no stepladder in the MVT.

[Tomas]

so anong mangyayari? Kasali pa ba sa semis ang UST or may slot na sila agad sa Finals?

bakit wala na ulit stepladder? ang gulo naman nila. hahahaha.

[Ashlars]

I find it weird and somewhat unfair that they don't have a fixed rule for the tournament. Shouldn't the rules be already set prior to the start of the tournament? Why is there a need to have it changed, particularly when the tournament is in its winding down stages?

For sweeping the elims, UST MVT should at least have received an automatic pass into the finals.

May naka sweep na ba ng men's volleyball elims before?

[epalog]

alam ko during ian laurel's time, na-sweep din nila eh. bago pa ata ipatupad ang f4 rule nu'n.

[Tomas]

alam ko during ian laurel's time, na-sweep din nila eh. bago pa ata ipatupad ang f4 rule nu'n.

Nung 2004, DLSU Lady Spikers swept the eliminations and declared as champions.

Hmmm.. Pero ngayon, na-sweep ng UST MVT ang elims pero kahit isa sa finals slot di sila binigyan... Nakakapagtaka...

[pablohoney36]

I think the last time UST-MVT swept the elims was way back when Coach Odjie was still playing, I think 93-94.

FEU also has done the same feat na, being the traditional powerhouse in volleyball.

@Ashlars: Well, this is UAAP. Depende yan sa mood, I guess. :P

[Tigercub]

^ 1992-1993 UAAP Season yun... :D

Ashlars, di ka pa nasanay sa UAAP, pabago bago ng rules yan basta kung san makakabenefit ang ilan hehehe! :D

[jancarlo]

I wonder why Mikko Relova is not playing for UST this year. I mean, he's one of the best players last year in the NCAA for La Salle Greenhills. Siguro affected yung schedule niya, BS Biology kasi.

[encanto]

Oh, well, let it be. Kung walang incentive, wala.

O 'di LET'S GO FOR 17-0! Not at all a problem. ;)

Kayang-kaya 'yan ng UST MVT! Wala ng bawian, wala ng urungan.

In as much as I want to see UP and Ateneo battle it out for another day after tomorrow I think it is unfair to UST. Sweep is a Sweep napaka hirap non at di lang basta basta sweep Convincing Sweep. They are not seriously tested sa whole duration ng tournament. But still the number 4 slot is considered a sorry slot kasi prinolong lang ang season na kahit sinong team because NOBODY can stand a chance against UST MVT....:rotflmao:

[Ashlars]

^ 1992-1993 UAAP Season yun... :D

Ashlars, di ka pa nasanay sa UAAP, pabago bago ng rules yan basta kung san makakabenefit ang ilan hehehe! :D

It's stupid what they're doing.

Eh lumalabas wala din naman palang pinagkaiba ang UST sa no. 2 ranked team. The only benefit they have is the twice to beat advantage, an advantage that the no. 2 ranked team gets to enjoy even if it has lost several matches.

Anyway, God will protect our boys from the evil forces within the UAAP board. I hope this incident spurs them even further to do better and win the title in a thumping manner.

Let's go USTe!

^ blessing indisguise narin for UST atleast mas matagal tagal ang TV exposure nila...:rotflmao: Unlike kung finals lang sila makikita syempre people who are not usually a fan of the sports yung mga umaasa lang sa TV at di nag eeffort pumunta sa Arena will definitely cheer for the team na napanuod na nila. Mas maganda makita ng buong Pilipinas or even ng buong mundo how talented the guys are. And hopefully magkaron na talaga ang Men's V-league I think it is really about time na talaga...:)

With or without the Step-Ladder UST MVT is destined to win it. It is already written...:rotflmao: Good Luck nalang for season 72 for the other team...:rotflmao:

exposure na kung exposure..
pero yun nga parang wala talagang difference.. so what's the point of being able to sweep the elims eh pagdating naman pala ng semis/f4 eh ganun din ang mangyayari...
oh well...

[corrigan]

I wonder why Mikko Relova is not playing for UST this year. I mean, he's one of the best players last year in the NCAA for La Salle Greenhills. Siguro affected yung schedule niya, BS Biology kasi.

wow:eek::eek:! i never knew this kiddo is good in playing vball. palagi ko pa naman siyang nakikita sa corridor ng science. And yes I think affected siya ng course niya (and I think irregular siya ngayon), plus andami niyang extra - curricular activities.

Huwaaaaat? No automatic finals seat for UST-MVT?

[haseq]

Basta kahit mag-champion tayo pero kung may talo naman tayo kahit isa, bawas ang pagkain nila sa asalto. Instead of may balik, isang kuhanan na lang. :lol:

oo nga ang labo nga ng rules ng UAAP Volleyball. Napaka-unfair para sa UST MVT naten. Halatang may mga manipulation na naman na nagaganap. Para saken mas importante ang "recognition" kesa sa "exposure nila sa tv." Di biro ang ginawa nila and they deserve to be rewarded for winning all their games in the elims.

Kayang-kaya ng UST MVT yan, nakakainis lang talaga, tulad ni skepticalguy, parang wala rin silbi na maipanalo mo lahat ng games mo sa regular season. tsk, tsk, tsk...

Kung ibang school kaya ang naka-sweep ng elims ano kayang decision ng UAAP board? Hmmm.. lalo na siguro kung yung host school ang nakasweep... hehe.. :D

VIVA SANTO TOMAS !!! *okay*

[Tigercub]

whatever the format, the UST MVT is up to the task of winning it back2back... with or without incentive of a sweep, this team made UAAP HISTORY, and we're lucky enough to have witnessed it...

think about this, wala pa yatang team sa Men's Volleyball ang naka-17 wins in a single UAAP Season


one game at a time...



ONE FOR UST!!!

( Tiger Pack Attack on saturday!!! :D )

[clawed_out]

UST will be number one before the season is over.

We'll hope for that one.

BLACK GOLD BLACK WHITE!

[skepticalguy]

ang daya pa rin...
talagang merong manipulation for the benefit of some.....

But it would be good to have him sa team knowing that he has one of the best running spikes way back in high school. :)

Kamukha nga niya si Suzanne Roces eh. :lol:

[haseq]

tiger power muffins coming up...

Plus lasagna at spaghetti, atbp. Mukhang naghahanda na ang mga boys natin sa malakasang pagkain. Haha. Pero 'yun nga, nag-warning na ako na pag natalo tayo kahit isang beses -- kahit pa mag-champion ang team -- rasyon ang pagkain nila. :lol:

Nakakatakot din. Malakas din ang Ateneo. At hindi ko pa napapanood uli sina Ting and company ng live. Alam kong kaya natin. Pero siyempre, pag Final 4, iba na ang labanan.

Well, magti-text uli ako kay Mark Dalit at iri-remind ko siya tungkol sa pagkain nila.

It always works. :rotflmao:
