VOLLEYBALL HOTTIE HIGHLIGHTS
There's a pest on the boards looking for a hottie athlete. To sate his maniacal appetites, I offer this.
A collection of Rachel Ann Daquis clips from an FEU-Adamson game from about a year ago.

LA SALLE VS ATENEO: A FEARLESS FORECAST
Three hours. That's how long tickets for Game 1 of the UAAP basketball championship series between Ateneo-La Salle were available.Seven thousand pesos. That's how expensive tickets for the match of the year became.
Here are five key match ups that can spell the difference between sweet victory and a year of "what ifs".
STARS. Ateneo has two in veteran Chris Tiu and rising star Rabeh Al-Hussaini. La Salle also has two in veterans JV Casio and Rico Maierhofer. Both pairs give roughly the same in points, rebounds and defense. My take? A tie.
DEFENSIVE PRESENCE. Ateneo has shot blocking Nonoy Baclao and master swiper Eric Salamat. La Salle has great team defense but no truly outstanding defender. My take: Ateneo goes up 1 point.
COACH. Black versus Pumaren. Both proven, both battle tested, both with something to prove. My take? Black is a master tactician while Pumaren is a master motivator. Another tie, but barely. Ateneo still up by one.
X-FACTOR. In other words, Eric Salamat versus Bader Malabes. So far, Eric has been absolutely sterling for the Eagles, with his effort on both offense and defense usually catapulting Ateneo to victory. Malabes, on the other hand, has been on and off but when he's on, he's really hot. My take? Ateneo goes up 2-0.
CROWD. Noise? Check. Screaming? Check. Old fogeys trying to remember what it felt like to be 18? Check on both sides. My take? Sorry but I think the La Salle crowd has more hotties and cuties than Ateneo.
So Ateneo wins the match up 2-1. My bet is that the series ends that way.
MY BIASED PICK. La Salle. 11 years of education can't be washed away that easily.
MY VERY BIASED PICK FOR NEXT YEAR. UP Parrots, este, Maroons go all the way!!!

CAN YOU BEAT THEM AT FREESTYLE H-O-R-S-E?
Computer generated or real? Who cares? It's fun to watch and (for those whose masculinity has been challenged) even more fun to try!
IT'S LA SALLE VS ATENEO!
The UAAP Board probably feels like a 3 year old kid unwrapping gargantuan gifts under a shining Christmas tree.
The most anticipated UAAP Finals match up is no longer a fantasy, as both the Archers and the Eagles disposed of their opponents to set up the defining series of the year.
The Eagles head into the UAAP fFinals as the prohibitive favorites, having been extremely dominant this year. They won a league leading 13 games, including taking both of their games against rival, La Salle.
The Archers, on the other hand, had a see-saw kind of season, looking dominant in one game then looking vulnerable in the next. Psychologically, they've got to be hurting, after they lost their last game against Ateneo by double digits.
My fearless prediction? Read it in the next posts.
