You forgot Macky Escalona who showed the most heart among the Blue Eagles when it mattered the most.
>>> TTG,
I wanted to put Macky's name,
but he really played a starring
role in 2006 with JC Intal and
Doug Kramer against UST,
a series that really tore me up,
I didn't know who to root for!!
Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam! One Big Fight! :-)
1988 was two in a row for Ateneo, right? I remember vividly Dindo's "faint" into the arms of his gf during the last few seconds when the play was just going from one side of the court to the other with neither team scoring and Ateneo leading. When they checked the scoreboard, there was just a few seconds left. It tore them up. It was Dindo's last year. Tears from both teams. Time was not yet over but play was stopped. Banners were unfurling on Ateneo side proclaiming "Look who's number one now!" That's when Dindo was overcome.
>>> stevie,
i was there at rizal memorial
that day ",) tickets then
were so cheap compared to
the scalped tkts today.
and yes,
i remember dindo's collapse
vividly too!
1987, Ateneo won vs. UE
