One Big Fight


After a 13 (or was it 14?) year losing streak, Ateneo won the UAAP men's basketball championships in 2002. That was the year I moved to NY to get my LL.M.

I missed that season.

I was really disappointed about not being here to see Ateneo win. After years and years of losing, after 8 years of going to games as an Atenean (just to see your team lose every single time), we finally won. We were champions.

And I was away.

It looks like the Blue Eagles are going to win this year. They swept the first round effortlessly. Some say the reason for that is because La Salle is disqualified from play this year. It doesn't matter to me. If we win, we win.

And I will be away again.
