UST Tigers enhance bid for 14th UAAP title in row

[Doctor_Man]

Since it appears the Thomasians here have already ran out of intelligent arguments to back up their claims and have already resulted to name-calling (a clear sign of losing an argument) recap na lang natin ang buong debate na ito

Stand

Pex Thomasians: UAAP Overall is the most prestigious award for many
Me: UAAP Mens Basketball (and maybe W Volleyball) is the most prestigious award for many

My Arguments:

1. Basketball is the most watched and most supported sport http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Univers...ippines#Sports

2. Basketball receives the limelight and the full support of the Thomasian community.

3. Most Thomasians would want to have a basketball crown than a general championship.

4. All Mens Basketball games are televised
5. Schools invest more on recruitment for Mens basketball
6. When their basketball teams win the championship, the entire school celebrates.
7. Mens basketball (and W Volleyball) gets a lot of media attention.

Their Arguments

1. 10-20 people are talking about the General Championship in Pex

2. General Championship is the last award given kaya mas prestigious

3. Those who think otherwise are either galit sa UST or bitter

4. "Naku wala na ako masabi... let's resort to name calling na lang"

So there, Thank You

OnT: I am just glad that more people think before they post anything. And they do not regard mere articles as the gospel truth, resulting in very weak arguments. Hopefully next season other universities would challenge UST for the overall crown and indeed, UST is on a league of its own, making it the most competitive school in the UAAP, bar none.

[gooseberry]

And you consider that an intelligent topic now?

As the old timers here would say, susme.

rx: there would be some schools that would put UST to it's edge. The uprise of other universities to get our crown is not far from happening. Check how our rankings in different sports dip. Find the reasons behind it and you'll have one angle.

^^ang napansin kong dip sa UST is women's chess and badminton...

[Red_Engr]

congratulations UST for winning the General Championship for UAAP Season 74

Viva Santo Tomas

One more thing, kahit kaya yung inter-collegiate sa UST sinesryoso. haha. Gumagastos talaga for that.

Hehe. Kahit sa loob ng sarili mong college, super intense na ang labanan. SIguro kaya din magaling UST sa lahat ng sports. May ganun culture talaga.

FYI, it was not a walk in the park for UST to get the GC this year. Please don't be so arrogant with this statement.

[citrus_bean]

hindi rin,

mas important ang GC trophy sa mga Thomasians, kitang kita yan nung days bago yung streetdance at closing, usap usapan yan sa campus, i should know dahil dinig ko mismo, sa FB din, may mga congratulatory messages din.

hindi naman sukatan ang pag gawa ng champion shirt, TV guesting or kung ano pa para masabing mas lamang yung isa sa isa.

tama na yan guys, kung pwede na wag na kayong sumagot sa mga post ng isat isa.

kung hindi kayo titigil sa kakasagot, hindi talaga matatapos yan.

dont tell me, by july na start na ng UAAP eh topic pa rin ito ah, nakakatawa kayo.

[hongsalmun]

^agree ako sa post mo

[rx_Tomasino]

Why not? It has been more than a decade since the Overall Championship was won by another school. For me it is a legit testimony with regard to IPEA's approach on its athletes moreso with its sports program.

[isQuash]

GO USTE!!!

[moimaldito]

Vamos Tigres!

[roundtablepizza]

Ang galing talaga ng UST!

[Hindsight]

It's how you view what the GENERAL CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY means. For me, it's more personal especially from the STUDENT ATHLETES' side of things. It means I have made myself better and excelled with what natural talents and skills God has given me even though I may not be tall and good in ball handling. It's overcoming one' s own limitations and surpassing it thru hard work and persistence. And the lessons I've learned competing in the UAAP will strengthen me when I graduate and face the real world.

Ang galing talaga ng UST!

Yes! Super galing! Lalo na kapag kasama si ano.. Haha! Jeric Fortuna! Speaking of, naka online sya ngayon sa FIZZIT as we speak!! Nasan na ang mga fans!! <3

[gooseberry]

ay binuhay. wala namang kwenta ang sinabi.

[ExApparatus]

Change the title please. 15th consecutive na! Bayaan na iba na walang GC.

Sayang talaga dapat 24th? na. Its because of that UP-GC.
