UST spikers to skip Shakey’s League 5th season

MANILA, Philippines - Bad news to volleyball fans out there.

The University of Santo Tomas (UST) Tigress Spikers, champions in the last two conferences of the Shakey’s V-League collegiate volleyball competitions, will no longer participate in this year’s 5th season of the tournament.

Acting head coach Cesael de los Santos, in lieu of the absence of long-time coach August Sta. Maria who suffered a stroke last Sunday night, said the team will no longer join the league that is set kick off hostilities this coming March 30 in order for the players to concentrate more on their studies.

He added that they would also use the long summer break to re-organize a team hampered because of the injuries of star-players Angeli Tabaquero, Venus Bernal and 70th UAAP spiker-of-the-year Mary Jean Balse.

De los Santos said their decision not to join the Shakey’s V-League has the blessing of UAAP President and UST Athletic Director Fr. Ermito de Sagon.

“Last week pa namin pinag-uusapan kung sasali pa ang team sa tournament. In the end, we decided that it’s best for the team not to join the tournament,” De Los Santos told GMANews.TV in a phone interview.

“Burned-out ang mga players that’s why we are not joining. Aside from that nagra-run conflict kasi ang tournament sa pag-aaral ng mga bata that’s why we made the decision (not to join),” he added.

De los Santos, who was once a member of the RP men’s volleyball team in the ‘90s, also said that they will also concentrate their site on the upcoming 71st season of the UAAP volleyball competitions in December in hopes of reclaiming the women’s title they lost last month.

“Gusto rin namin i-focus ang training namin sa UAAP. I think magagawa namin yun kung hindi muna kami sasali sa V-League,” he said.

UST won the 69th UAAP women’s volleyball crown last year, only to lose it this year when they were ambushed by eventual champions Far Eastern University (FEU) Lady Tamaraws in the Final Four late last month.

With UST’s absence, the league will be left with only seven teams, namely San Sebastian College, Ateneo de Manila University, Adamson University, De La Salle University, 2008 UAAP champs Far Eastern University, Lyceum of the Philippines and debuting College of Saint Benilde.

Champion teams from the south - University of San Jose-Recoletos of Cebu and University of St. La Salle of Bacolod - will also make their debut in the biggest stage of the sport where top squads from UAAP and NCAA strut their wares.

Tonyboy Liao, commissioner of the tournament, said they decided to invite teams from Visayas since “volleyball is very popular there.”

Liao said the two teams, regular fixtures in the UniGames in Bacolod where UAAP and NCAA teams also play, would play only in the quarterfinals.

“The team won’t play in the elimination due to logistical constraints,” he said.

The Shakey’s V-League’s opening ceremony will start at 1 p.m. at The Arena in San Juan.

There will be a single round robin in the elimination for the eight teams, where the top two teams automatically clinch the semifinal slots while the last two eliminated. The remaining four will meet the Visayan teams in the one-round quarterfinals where the top two qualify in the semis.

The top two teams in the classification phase and the top two teams of the quarterfinals will play another single round for the placing in the final.

Teams landing in third and fourth place will play a best-of-three for the bronze medal while the first and second ranked team will play for the best-of-three series for the gold medal. - GMANews.TV

At least there are 3 new teams…Not really a big lost considering the their 3 best players are injured. It’s really not interesting to watch UST without their three big guns. Better for them to back out than for us to watch a mediocre team.

lam mo.wag ka masyado mainit sa ust. nyeta ka. isipin mo ah. ung feu nahirapan sa ust. balse at bernal nlng kalaban nila … diba nakakahiya un. 6-man team ang volleyball. dalawa nlng kalaban ng feu. di pa nilang magawang nalampaso ang ust.. lahat ng games puro dikit ang score. yuck. nag champion ang feu ng walang kakwenta kwenta. haha. malakas talaga ust kahit ano gawin mo. even mwala na si bernal at balase. may papalit n mas malakas at masmagaling. magnda magscout ng player ang ust. unlike other teams palibhasa. maganda education na inooffer ng ust. isipin mo pumasok ka ba naman sa feu na bulok at adamason na wala kwenta engineering. university nga, talo naman ng mapua sa engineering which is scollege. yuck

kulang lang sa player ang ust. kasi nag bacok out si maizo at mabbayad. kung nandun un. di mananalo ang feu ni isang set sa ust. kaya pwede umayos ka. defensive team ang ust. kaya ba ng feu saluhin palo ni bualee which is si tabaquero balse at bernal lang nakakagawa. helo. ateneo nga di umubra sa baste non eh. yuck!

If you cant respect my opinion better not reply…ipapahiya lng kita loser.Kahit maghanap ka pa ng kakampi mo di mo ako kakayanin. wag ka ng humirit lalo na’t it’s just another of your pointless crap mgpost ka n lng bago and don’t associate it to me dahil di kita titigilan. Basher!

UST still has a large following after vleague considering na nag-iba yung line-up nila upon entering UAAP season.
last vleague they have roces. Before, they have Maizo,gutierez, and mabbayad in UAAP.
They still have the charisma which is hard to explain.

Ang importante sumikat na yung sport sa mga students. Sana magtuloytuloy pa rin. Tumulong lang naman ang UST sa pagsikat ng sport. Hindi lang naman sila ang nagbenefit kundi yung buong volleyball community. Kung ayaw niyo sa UST eh di wag. Basta ang importante sumikat na yung sport at magtutuloy-tuloy naman na siguro yan. Just continue in supporting the sport.

Sa mahilig makipagtalo sa mga babae, magvolleyball na lang. Hindi yan contact sport. Baka maging teammate mo pa yung mga crush mong players. Balibliktarin mo man ang mundo ang mga walang hilig sa volleyball, UST talaga ang pinanonood. At mahirap maexplain ang appeal at aura nila.
You can’t change their reverence for UST.

Like what I’ve said, kung ayaw niyo sa UST, just continue in supporting the sport.

Kahit hindi ka naglalaro ng volleyball eh tunay na volleyball fan ka pa rin. Halata sa post mo. Ang mga sinasabi ko ay yung mga walang kahilig hilig talaga sa volleyball tulad ng mga tondo fans noon noong napadpad yung games sa may rizal mmc. At ang mga nag-iinuman na na napag-uusapan at gustong gusto ay UST. Meron pa palang isa si Rachelle Anne. Yun madalas din pag-usapan yun.

Pero optimistic ako na magtutuloy tuloy na tong popularity ng sport. Kasi para sa atin to. Bahala kayong mag-away away pero sana magtuloytuloy to. Natural lang yan parang PBA fans. Positive yan. May mga ganyang klaseng fans.
Para sa atin ang pagsikat ng sport, sa mga young girls na may potential ito, na magiging pag-asa natin sa future sa volleyball.

i was really surprised to know that “mr sergio santibanez” is now a member of our community! hey guys, let’s all give him a warm welcome…(”,)!
seriously, since i’m an avid fan of the lady tigresses, i was really sad upon hearing the news. we all know that UST is one of the strongest team to beat in the league, because if not, they wouldn’t bag the two consecutive championship title during the last conference. it’s also very demoralizing and frustrating on their part because of the fact that they have a crown/title to defend, yet due to the circumstances happened for the past few days, well i must say that it’s really a wise and appropriate decision for them not to join this conference. they really need time to make a crucial adjustments for them to have a solid comeback anyway. though i really feel bad knowing that my favorite team will no longer be in the scene of the said league. i might wait for the next season of the UAAP then, and for now, i’ll just settle myself to what available entertainment is offered…(”,)!

me too. akala ko nga dito na nila babawian ang FEU, well. mali pala ang akala ko. anyway,, sa mga UST players, goodluck on your studies na lang! intayin naming mga fans niyo ang UAAP season 71 para mgcheer sainyo! GO USTE!!!!

It is a loss for the forthcoming Shakey’s V-league season V for UST not to participate, but it is for the best of the team to take a rest for this season to rebuild the team and regain the confidence they had lost. The team will be making a big adjustment when their top two scorers will not with them anymore and the lost of Coach august to a medical ailment. They will have to train hard to be competitive again with the other teams.

I think, it is a best decision to prioritize the studies of the players and prepare for the upcoming UAAP. These are the priorities of the players, to finish school and bring titles for their school. The fans will miss them in V-league, but they will come back with a vengance.

With the changes happening in the UST team and coaching staff, I’m sure it will be a different Team that we will see in the coming games.

GO USTE!!!! This is ONE for you….

swordstiker :
March 9th, 2008 at 4:41 pm

yes tama ka…there is no chance that we’ll see good game coming from UST this v league…they’re demoralized and they need major adjustments. Definitely they will not retain the crown so it’s better to not join at all. It’s also another way of saving their face from defeat. Overall it’s really for their best to miss this coming season.

Siguro pinaninidigan lang nila na hindi basta basta ang sports program nila. Hindi sila basta basta sumasali sa mga bagay na alam nila na hindi sila mananalo. Lagi ka ngang sumasali pero ni isang beses hindi makapasok sa finals. And maybe, chance na rin ng ibang school na makakuha ng crown sa VLeague. 5 seasons na ang VLeague pero Lasalle at UST pa lang ang nananalo. Hindi ako magugulat kung pati ang Lasalle eh hindi sasali sa Season 5.

And naniniwala ako na Lasalle at UST pa rin ang may pinakamaraming fans sa liga. Natulog lang ng bahagya ang mga fans ng Lasalle dahil nawala ang mga key players.

Goodluck to the remaining teams. Its your time to shine.

[Reply]

im gonna miss ust team this vleague, err. akala ko pa naman mapapanood ko na sila ulit, pero tama nga kayo, good choice nga yung hindi na muna sila sumali kasi dahil sa studies. di puro laro. hehe. :) dapat balanced. .

swordstiker :
March 9th, 2008 at 4:48 pm

Yes they should prioritize their studies pra maka-graduate naman sila. Balse and Bernal has outlived their eligibility in the UAAP so there’s really no reason for them to stay. therefore that’s the best choice they have to graduate from skul.

4theloveofthegame2 :
March 9th, 2008 at 5:24 pm

by the way, ano ba course ni bernal and balse? hehe. alam niyo po ba?

What a shocking news! Although i am not from USTE (up po ako),i am always rooting for the tigresses simply because i enjoyed a lot watching them play. The team has the IT to attract a large, varying crowd just like PBA’s ginebra team. Perhaps this predicament is a blessing in diguise for me because i won’t be able to see the finals in june (LA bound for a vacation)although i can have the game tape. I saw the finals between san sebastian and ust last december live at the arena and had it taped too. Is your decision final guys?

[Reply]

chrisanne1714 :
March 9th, 2008 at 5:03 pm

yeah, they did a great job last conference, imagine they were able to defeat ateneo during their do-or-die game and eventually got the slot for the final games! and during the finals, they lost the first game against san sebastian, yet they managed to regain composure and proved their determination to defend their crown, and they succeeded because they defeated san sebastian during the second and third games respectively…, such an exciting and excruciating volleyball actions showcased by these two teams during the recently concluded conference of the league…(”,)!

haist…excited pa naman ako 4 the upcoming league!!! ndi naman pala sasali ung long tym favorite team ko sa v-league…no choice kundi maghintay nalang sa uaap season71…

March 9th, 2008 at 5:11 pm

i agree…, afterall, denise patricia tan wouldn’t be the best setter of the UAAP Season 69 if she didn’t performed her task very well…, and just like what you said, UST wouldn’t also won the championship title during last conferences of the v-league, plus the UAAP season 69 if she failed to supply such impressive and favorable sets! come to think of it, a certain spiker wouldn’t execute such powerful spikes/hits if there’s no great/good sets being provided…(”,)!

slytherinz :
March 9th, 2008 at 5:55 pm

di ko naman po napanuod ung season 69,season 70 lang napanuod ko,me maganda bang ginawa si TAN ngayun?di ba si DIMACULANGAN laging tumatapos ng game,lagi na lang bangko si TAn,hehehe,sabi ko ba di magaling si TAN?sabi ko di marunung mag-backset ng liyad si TAN,grabe,ang daming engertz hah!hindi ikaw chrisanne,heheheh

SERAFICA na ata best setter ngayun e,sunud sa kanya si MARTINEZ ng DELASALLE,

third na nga lang yata UST e?magaling kasi setter ng FEU at ADAMSON,si SEMANA/mvp saka SERAFICA best setter kaya sila ang naglaban sa finals.

chrisanne1714 :
March 9th, 2008 at 6:24 pm

hey friend, i think denise has done a great job during their rematch game against adamson on the second elimination round of the season…, but as i compared her performaces this season from the last season, it’s just appropriate to say that she didn’t really played well and failed to perform her task impressively…(”,)!

YamatoNurse :
March 9th, 2008 at 8:32 pm

Those where the days kung saan di maganda ang laro ng players. We can’t blame Denise kung di nya talaga maibigay ng maganda ang mga bola sa mga players. Marami naman yang dahilan, di ba? And I observed na competitive na ang mga ibang teams ngayon. Nag pepeak na sila this season and unfortunaately, natalo nga nila ang UST. Di naman lahat ng panahon nasa itaas ka. Kailangan mo ring maranasang madapa ng minsan para malaman kung saan ka nagkulang. Lesson ito sa UST sa iba ring mga teams. Nagkataon lang na mas maganda ang laro ni Semana kesa ki Denise. Pero last playing year na ni Wendy ang Season 70. Kaya adjust na naman next season sa mga bagong players. Sabi nga nila, pana-panahon lang yan.. Minsan panalo, minsan talo. Ang importante, nilaro mo ang game at your best.

sergio santibanez :
March 9th, 2008 at 10:58 pm

Sabi nga nila eh, UST has an epic campaign in winning a title. Were heroines are made. Kaya pala very colorful sundan ang campaign nila.
Sayang hindi ko naexperience masundan yun. Noong huling Vleague lang.
Not dominating the entire season but passing through the arduous chalenges during crucial games when they are on the brink of elimination.
Parang scripted yung campaign nila. Very dramatic yung pinagdaanan.
Yung mga past campaign daw nila puro ganiyan. Pati season 69 hindi raw sila ang top. Nagkaroon pa raw sila ng mga crucial games na they have to win. They are experienced in overcoming adversities daw when their back’s against the wall from their past campaigns.
Yun nga lang this time they failed na.

slytherinz :
March 10th, 2008 at 6:09 am

ngayung our back is against the wall again!dis time di na kami sasali! di na kasi kami lulusot dito!matatalo na talaga kami at wala kasi kaming magaling na players puro palpak!wehehhehe

UST is a mediocre team without balse and bernal

[Reply]

it’s very sad indeed to know that the UST Tigresses won’t be able to join in the coming Shakey’s V-League…they are among the best in this league…without them, the other teams (or the fans) won’t have anyone to bash on…whatever anyone would say against the UST Team, it’s still wouldn’t be the same league without them…GO UST!

I am a Thomasian and I’m really looking forward in seeing UST compete in the shakey’s V-league. I hope that they will change their mind and decide to join the league anyways. I really want to see them defend their title since we lost our title in the UAAP. Also this can be the opportunity to redeem themselves and prove that they are the best women’s volleyball team in town. They bring a lot of intensity to the game and they heighten the competition in women’s volleyball so I really hope that they would join.

Opinyon niyo yan.
Pero sabi ng mga experts UST has the most talented individuals. Kung paghihiwalayin mo sila they will shine on other teams.
Other opinion says that even their back-up setter has the potentials of exceeding Semana. Napakaraw pa nga lang. Pero outstanding na raw yung raw talent na yun. Highly recruited daw sa highschool volleyball yun. Blue chip rookie daw yun pero back-up setter lang ng UST.

sergio santibanez :
March 9th, 2008 at 11:14 pm

I’m from Iloilo and a fan of UST WVT. Nabasa ko ang mga posts dito at nalaman ko na marami ang magkasalungat ang mga opinyon. Let us make things clear here. Sa mga marunong maglaro ng volleyball, ang perception nila towards sa paglaro nito ay iba kesa sa mga fans lang. We can’t avoid na mainis, magalit sa mga tao dito na nagpopost lang pero di naman pinag-iisipan ang mga sinasabi. Kung galit kayo kasi pinagtatanggol ng mga fans ng UST ang team, okay lang. Pero yung laitin kung panu maglaro ang mga players, e di na yata tama. Ang kada players eh may iba’t ibang paraan maglaro. Kaya nga team game ang volleyball kasi they’re trying to find the right mix of players na maglalaro sa court. Everybody has their own strengths and weaknesses. So sa mga critics ng UST, patunayan nyo na tama kayo. Patunayang niyo na buhay ang crowd ng V-league kahit walang UST. Then will I salute you…

Di po naman ako galit sa mga nagpopost ng di maganda. Karapatan nyo pong sabihin ang gusto nyong sabihin pero sana naman maghunos-dili kayo. Mahinahon po ninyong ipost ang comment nyo para ang dating e di naman masama sa tingin ng iba. Maraming salamat po. PEACE MAN!!!!

korek ka dyan YamatoNurse…fans of the other teams should prove that they will watch the V-League at the Arena even without UST…the last time i watched UST sa UAAP eh may nakatabi ako ng UE alumnus na fan ng USTe who came all the way from Bulacan just to watch every game of UST and also a mother bringing along his 10-year old son traveling from Alabang pa…for sure this 2 fans will not watch the V-League ‘coz of UST’s absence in the league (including me, of course)…Go UST! Go TIGERS!

A single fan or 2 will never determine the success of the V-league… Sabi ko nga it’s really hard for fans of UST that hindi cla kasali… But for us fanatics of volleyball pkialam ba namin UST lng naman ang nawala.

cguro ang point nya ay hindi lang dun sa 2 fans na yun, example lang yun e. alam naman natin na UST ang may pinakamaraming fans, so without them it would definitely hurt the league.

pero nde pa naman natin nakikita talaga kung gaano kadami yung fans ng ibang teams e. fans ng SSC madami rin. yung fans ng FEU at ADU madami rin nung sa UAAP. nagkataon lang na yung ibang teams eh nde pa naman masyadong umaangat sa rankings kaya nde pa ginaganahan yung fans nila na pumunta. kung iisipin nyo nga ADU parang onti ng fans, pero nung UAAP finals madami pala. aside from that, i don’t think titigil na sa panonood ang UST fans. mahahati rin yan sa iba’t ibang teams this season. I, personally, would still support the league. my bets are DLSU, FEU and SSC, mga rivals ng USTE. haha!

swordstiker :
March 10th, 2008 at 2:25 am

That’s what i am saying… Not only ust fans will determine the success of v league.It might hurt the league but their not the barometer of the v league success. Marami pang ibang teams na malaki ang followings… And like the person above me is saying mahahati din ang mga fans ng UST sa iba’t ibang teams.

basta ako mgeenjoy na lang ako sa panonood ng v-league,sa tv man o sa arena, may uste man o wala…hahaha

[Reply]

without ust wud be painful but if we are really a volleyball fanatic, it doesnt matter anymore. wat matter is dat there are other competetive teams and shakey’s v-league is still there, to give us volleyball addicts so much fun to enjoy it…..

[Reply]

See. so spread the popularity of the sport.
Pero ako makikibalita na lang hehe. tulad ng UAAP finals. Unless something interesting happens in the league. Sana maging colorful yung mga scenario. Saka sana may team din na katulad ng demeanor ng UST in playing the game. Very animated, bubbly, tipong ‘girls having fun’. Para ngang mas livelier sila noong huling Vleague kesa sa pagpasok nila sa UAAP. Yung tipong it makes you glued to the game.

Ang nakita ko lang na may ganyang klaseng personalities sa mga player in playing the game, eh yung UP. Darlings of the crowd yung demeanor nila. Yun nga lang less athletic sila.

HINDI SILA MAYABANG!!! nung binalik nila ang championship sa kanila sa v-league… humble sila!!! ung ibang teams ang mayabang…malakas ang ust. magnda din ang training nila. big factor ng nawala si maizo at mabbayad sa kanila. eh kung anjan lng si maizo hindi naman uubra FEU SA kanila eh!!! isipin nyo ha!!! si bernal at balse nlng kalaban ng FEU… NAHIRAPAN PA!!! GRABE. WHAT IF ANDUN SI MAIZO FOR TRES POSTION KAPALIT NI MANCE.. EDI WALA NA SINABI FEU. BAGO KAYO MAGYABANG ABOUT SA UST. TIGNAN NYO MUNA TEAM NINYO.

drew alexis17, kindly stop, your going insane, its not FEUs fault why UST lost, accept it, UST lose the championship, they didnt even reached the top final round, i know USt is a very powerful team but this season is not for them, and dont you dare treat FEU just like that, FEU has the most number of championship in the UAAP, so please have some respect for them… FEU is always in the top 4 eversince,last season they played against USt in the finals, USt never won in the 2 rounds of the competition until semis but unfortunately they defeated FEU in two straights in the finals…

And by the way anong tatlo lang ang naglalaro sa ust??? ano ba si TABAQUERO? TORRIJOS? MANCE at TAN? mga palamuti lang???

STOP TALKING WITHOUT THINKING PEA-BRAINED-BITTER BASHER!!!

[Reply]

am truly sad for these kind of people…damn, pointless and bitter….

[Reply]

Aba aba aba, nawala lang ako nung weekend madami na namang nag aamok na asong ulol dito. Hahaha

My take on UST’s absence: uhm, ok. Hahaha. Nonetheless, andyan pa naman ang equally exciting SSC and Ateneo teams and of course the UAAP champs FEU and the new teams from the Visayas.

My take on UST’s reason for not joining (concentrate on studies): I have reservations on this. Shouldn’t the players be concentrating on their studies naman talaga right from the start, and that being an athlete should only be their second priority? Why only now? Ewan ko lang ha. Personally, I think natatakot ang UST na di madefend ang crown sa Vleague so might as well not join. Tingin ko lang ha.

Anyway, UST’s loss is another team’s game. Tuloy ang Vleague! Excited nako kung sino mga imports. And yes, the Visayan teams! :)

March 10th, 2008 at 4:11 pm

definitely….

Another team’s GAIN pala.

Addendum: If the key players are injured and UST really wants to “rebuild” or “regroup” as a team, isn’t the Vleague the perfect venue to do so such that it can serve as a training ground of its new breed of players? Unless of course UST is simply too dependent on its key players. I mean kung ako yung new players ng UST ngayon pa lang gusto ko na kalabanin ang mga veteran teams na posible ko ding makaharap sa next UAAP season. Vleague na din ang venue para makilatis na talaga kung sino sa mga new players ang may “K” na pumalit kina Bernal at Balse.

Well, I can only speculate.

[Reply]

right,playing against other team is the best way of training kasi di sila pagbibigyan ng ibang team,dun talaga sila magiimprove,pag good players kalaban nila..

i think what UST just did is really unsportmanlike,kasi other teams join this conference because they love the game of volleyball even if they knew they have a very slim chance of getting it to the finals,look at NU-uaap- and Lyceum,they still join for the sake of the sport even if their ego has been trashed many times because of their losts,then,many players were just very excited of playing in this conference because for them it’s an honor to play against UST having several RP team players,makalaro lang sila,malaking bagay na yun,and just because UST’s pride has been stepped on this last UAAp and they fear they cant win this one they decided to just back-out,a really coward and disheartening move..cant just they play their best just for the fun of it and let fate unfold it’s due course,anu namn kung matalo kayo,at least lumaban kayo,nagimprove at nagkaexperience kayu at di kayo naduwag,nakakahiya sa volleyball community lalo pa’t promoting volleyball ang theme natin ngayun,tapos nagiinartz kau.

one thing is really i’m certain of…, that UST has a valid reason/reasons why they decided not to join this conference. come on guys, let’s not be too harsh with the way we look and interpret this reasons. it’s really frustrating on the part of UST to just simply give up the championship crown without giving a fight…!

Solid_FEU :
March 10th, 2008 at 9:54 am

i dont think na mali ang magback out at hindi karuwagan yun. they only wanted to perform best on their next playing game…kaya nga nag back out kasi they have to prepare and do good both, in studies and feature games… lets respect them, kawawa naman kasi kung lalaitin nalang natin at kutayin…

slytherinz :
March 10th, 2008 at 10:46 am

basta nalulungkot ako for the visayan teams,pangarap nila makaharap ang Ust,then this opporunity was given to them,then ganito nangyari,next season iba na format ng Shakey’s at dis was the very last time talaga na pede nila sila makaharap after four seasons na na pinapanuod lang nila USTtagal mu yun pinangarap.saka my point is hindi kanila ang championship forever,bakit kelangan nila panghawakan yun,kung di sila mananalo edi dapat ihand-over na nila yun sa better teams hindi yung ayaw nila sumali kasi ayaw nila yun ipatalo,opinion lang,sana nakikita nyu rin yung point namin Umga UST FANS!!

dapat sumali na lang talaga sila kasi tulad ng uaap isa sila sa pioneers kaya kahit di maganda magiging outcome dapat ipakit anyu na nakasupport kayu sa cause ng conference na to,promoting volleyball,kayu pa namn may pinakamaraming fans at pag umalis kayu,baka di na sila manuod,baka maging pangarap na lang ang commercializing volleyball nyan..

slytherinz :
March 10th, 2008 at 10:53 am

nag fifth setter sila against FEU last time with the assistant coachs taking charge,bakashon ang v-league at continous ang training ng mga girls so anu yung magcoconcentrate sa studies,di ko matangap ang alibi nila,di nako sasagot after these kasi mashadu ng deluded ang mga UST fans,UST fan din ako kaya naiinis ako di sila sumali,kaya ako nagkakaganito..as a fan,parang ang unfair sakin ng ginawa nila,quitting because of their own personal reasons,di na nila inisip ang mararamdaman ng mga fans

YamatoNurse :
March 10th, 2008 at 3:39 pm

Mga speculations lang naman ang mga pinang-iisip natin kung bakit talaga nagback out ang UST sa V-league. Come to think of it, champion sila last conference at parang kakahiya naman kung di sila maglaro ngayon to defend it. Pero may mga reasons naman silang inilahad sa publiko kung bakit nga di sila sasali. Sa atin na lang yun kung papaniwalaan natin sila o indi. At ang saklap naman na palaruin nyo ang UST na may mga injured players para lang i prove nila na champion team sila. Di naman yata tama yun. At iba ang UAAP sa V-league. At sa rematch game thing nila with FEU, eto na nga sana ang venue para bumawi sila pero maraming circumstances na we can’t avoid tulad nga ng mga injuries ng mga players nila. Di naman siguro takot ang UST sa mga ibang teams sa V-league. Yun lang siguro talaga ang nangyari. At bitter ang mga fans ng UST kasi di sila sasali sa V-league, di sa natalo sila sa UAAP.

the bottomline is….we should respect and accept what ustwvt decisions..its for their own good..players can concentrate more on thier studies.and as a team..they can focus and practice more to be more competitive in the next uaap…and to that other teams…we should also support them….and give the v league a support it deserves…lets just enjoy the game..may the best team win this season of v-league…gudluck to all the teams…..

[Reply]

i get your point slynthz, like FEU, even if kulilat sila in the past two seasons of Shakeys Vleague but they continued to play and gained experience and look at the outcome, champion in the recently concluded UAAP but we have to accept and respect their decision, if you feel its unfair for you as a fan then they will also feel the same to you, why? dont they have the right to rest for awhile? maybe they are just very tired physically and emotionally…

[Reply]

i apologize…ngayun lang kasi ako nakarinig ng tough team na nagbackout,ang daming team ng gustu ng rematch sa kanila,hindi nila pinagbigyan,para kasi shang boksing,paghinamon ka ng rematch,at nag-call ka,matapang ka,pag tumanggi ka,duwag ka,ganun ku sha nainterpret,tumanggi sila kaya….

[Reply]

Yes, accept UST’s decision it is, whatever that may be. Let’s just all hope and pray that they made the right decision. I’m sure pinag isipan naman nila yan and the possible repercussions of such decision.

What is important is that there’s an upcoming Vleague which signals the entry of the summer season. Kaya happiness na naman ako. Hahaha. If one is truly a fan of volleyball (like I am), I will continue supporting the sport no matter who plays. Players (or teams for that matter) may come and go but this should not deter the fans from supporting the sport itself. After all, this is just the means to an end. Our end goal is to eventually improve the sport in the country and start kicking Thai ass*es come Seagames. hehehe

hello po bago lang po ako dito, Fan po ako ng UST Lady Tigers and a Thomasian as well, hindi naman po siguro takot ang UST na mag-defend ng crown this year may mga bagay lang po talaga na kailangan ayusin at i-consider, kung tatanungin po natin ang mga players ng UST 100% sure ako na gusto po nila ma-defend ang crown nila sa V-league. Hindi lang naman po ito ang una nilang hindi pagsali sa V-league pangalawang beses na po and hindi naman po kasalan ng mga players kung hindi sila pinasali ng coaching staff diba po? diba ang FEU men’s volleyball team hindi nila nadefend ang crwon nila sa UAAP so ang ibig lang po sabihin na BILOG ang BOLA talaga, maybe the best of the lady tigers was not enough to defend their crwon this year sa UAAP, pero i think it is not the reason for us to jump into a conclusion that they are coward, wag naman po ganun mazxado naman po atang degrading, lets give the other team to shine, ako din naman nanghihinayang pero ganun talaga eh hayaan nalang po natin ang UST, tootoo po na talagang mahalaga po sa UST administrators na hindi ka lang magaling sa sport sa academics din po talaga dapat, for your information po si maizo hindi po umalis may bagsak po siya last 1st sem kaya hindi po siya pinayagan maglaro pero still nagtrainig parin po siya…. paxenxa na po kung maxado mahaba ang comment ko po basta continue supporting volleyball local man or international di ba para mas masaya… peace c”,)

i dont think na naduduwag uste thats why nde sila sumali.i really dont understand their reason for not joining basta alam ko nde yun dahil sa naduduwag sila. sayang! i was expecting pa naman that they would be able to beat feu this time.

the news is quite shocking..and it’s sad that i can’t see the happy faces of the UST players.
but their reason is enough for them not to play.i hope they will win the 71st UAAP season..i really like to see them play.despite the pressure, i can still see the smile in the faces of tabaquero and tan..best players.not hot-tempered..:)
kudos to UST team..;)

ano po ba yung rules sa 5th season 2nd confe? pareho lang ba sa 1st? qualified pa rin ba yung mga naglaro sa previous UAAP? nde na rin ba maglalaro uste sa 2nd confe? kung maglalaro sila makakasali pa ba sila bernal and balse?

in my opinion, kung kawalan ang pagkawala ng ust sa mga fans, kawalan din ito for their opponents as well…in order for a team to bring out its best, kailangan, magaling din yung mga makakalaban nila…nakakakita tayo ng good games kapag magaling ang mga teams na maglalaban.
UST is one tough powerhouse, so malaking factor ang absence ng UST sa development ng league at sa improvement ng mga teams…sayang lang talaga na di makakasali ang ust…

The decision of UST WV team not to participate in this V-league season V made a lot of fans and supporters of volleyball confused, and speculated some much theories why they did choose to skip this season. Let’s give it to them; they just lost the crown in UAAP season 70, which they happen to be the host school, and they lost a lot of key players in their rooster. They are also facing the possibility that a new coach will take over in their succeeding campaigns. These are things that they considered before they decided to skip the V-league. Maybe a lot of excuses were made before, but one thing for sure, the players are burned-out and needs time to rest. Being on top of the sport is not an easy thing to accomplish (not to mention maintain it). UST will always be as competitive team as before because of it’s program. Although, you can’t be always on top, you should come down to strive again to be on top. The time-off UST team made, by skipping the V-league, will rest their players and start to train hard again for the upcoming UAAP or V-league games. It is like a wear-and-tear theory. They have to be reborn to let them shine their greatness again.

For the UST supporters out there, you might see a different team once the UAAP volleyball season starts again. I had talked to coach august before he became ill, he had some new players we haven’t seen yet. As we all know coach august, he always find good players from all over the country. With his assistant coaches taking in-charge, the team will be having good training and plays. These assistant coaches are not so-so, they used to play in UAAP years before. Asst coach delos Santos even used to play with FEU and RP team. Maybe, we will see a UST team blended with the FEU system of volleyball.

To all those people posting here; please be objective in the way you post your messages without sorting to bashing the team or the players….. It is easy to say what we want, but it is hard to swallow it when we are wrong…….

I have an idea for those who always post here, why not we make a league here and play the game of volleyball to see who really plays and understand the game?

It’s just my 2 cents idea… PEACE!!!

one for UST..

ohh..,, tlaga lng huh.. kac ang pag ka2 alam q lng cla pah ang defending champs.. and soo kung mag le2ave mung cla sa Vleague is that a big deal?? ehh kung gusto nla?? lhat nman nang tao is free to have a rest kung ikaw di ka nag pa2hinga baka di ka tao.. and sabihin na nating infavor aq sa UST kac there no.1 fan ehh ikaw cnog pinag ma2yabang moh?? cla morada?? c cafranca?? o daquis?? kac ang USt lumalaban nang fare.. at hindi payabangan.. kac ang game is a game and hindi payabangan kung yang tatlo ring yan ang pinag ya3bang moh.. then ngaun q lng nalaman na pare2ho pla ang mga tiga FEU puro maya2bang.. ( how can i prove anung ginawa nla morada,cafranca at ni daquis sa UAAP pati na rin yung libero nlang c taganas puro yabang diba??) naka block lng ha2wakan na yung floor na vacant, naka spike lng ipag ya2bang ang shirt??, naka score lng mang iirap maka2sambot lng nang spike mag ya2bang sa kabilang court.. cgue nga!! ang UST ginawa ba yung mga yon?? di nman dba.. now tignan nlang nten kung magi2ng champss pa ang favorite mong team.. if they then mata2wag yon na “chamba” kung hnde wla pa rin clang kwenta.. hehehe.. “bato bato sa langit ang tamaan wag magalit”!!

hehe.. di ko naman sinasabi na ganun kayabang feu, mas okay sila sakin! basta wag lang adu! mas nakakainis naman ang kayabangan nun.. ang feu naman hindi mayabang eh, naasar lang sila siguro nung niyabangan na ni segodine, kaya ayun nakiride! stig si morada! :) hahaha:) yung pagwipe sa floor kung san andun adu.. ayus! :) haha

excuse me lng ulit sa mga tiga FEU huh…
nand2 lng ulit aq para mag iwan nang opinion dun sa “swordsticker” or sa lhat nlang din na sumusuport sa FEU…
ahhmm.. 1st of all… nagustuhan nang mga tinatawag nting “FANS” ang UST cause i have only 3 reasons.. (and para maintindihan nyo la2gyan q na nang prove)..
1. they are playing Fare..
prove: kapag naka spike hindi cla naki2pag talo sa referee kung touch or not ang FEU laging kailangan may touch.. even though kitang kita nman na lobo ang spike…
2. they have the ability that the “FANS” really want..
prove: they are pretty, they are good players and higit sa lahat hindi nmin cla naki2ta na nag ya2bang inside and outside the court…
3. they are the players that we can call “SPORT”
prove: nung tinamaan ni morada c tabaquero sa face, halata nman dba na masayang masaya sya right?? how did i know?? then bakit sya tumatalon pa kung di sya masaya?? bket magaling na sya non?? pero nakita ba nten c tabaquero na nag yabang den?? if anyone seen na nag yabang sya edi sna wla nang may gusto sa kanya dbah?? and my last prove: nung tagilid na ang UST sa last game?? in every point ba nakita nyo ang UST na nag yabang nang shirts nla?? see???
dahil sa mga katangian na yan kaya maraming supporters ang UST.. and nung interview na ni daquis.. does she call that as a deserving?? sna bago manlang sya nag sabeh nang gnun.. dpat sna muna nyang tanungin ang mga team mates nya… and higit sa lahat bakit tinatawag nla ang FEU as plastics?? kaya q ring i prove yan.. how?? nung nandon pa sa gym.. actually nandon aq… and i see through my eyes na sobrang saya nla na nakuha na nla ang corona.. i know na maganda tlaga un.. and i conggratulate them na nsa knila na ang corona.. pero bakit nla kailangan pang tawagin ang UST as loosers?? and higit sa lahat “BOBO” bakit does FEU players are perfect?? and does every one is smart kung naging champs nah??.. yun yung hnde matanggap nang mga UST supporters.. na bakit nla kailangang craan pa ang UST and kailangang lait laitin pa ang UST kung hnde cla sa2li in this comming V-league.. and sna mag yabang cla this comming UAAP cause i think bka cla nman ang ibasura nang UST ulit.. and i really wish them good luck this Vleague season.. kac baka hndi nyo makuha ang corona..

galit lang yan CHRIS… you dont really know them… FEU players and UST players are friends and so as the other players… i dont think magkalaban sila sa labas… ang trashtalk ay tactic lalo na pag sa finals to weaken the morale of your opponent, its up to you, sa gusto mo man o hindi ginagamit talaga yan… sa nakaraang uaap i dont think may nagmayabang, even segodine ay di ko nakakitaan ng pagmamayabang, siguro happy lang ang mga players… wag ka sanang masaktan but your reasons are pointless…. peace….

ahem…there’s no point in fighting and most of all saying ill things about both schools. why fight over them, all along the players from both squads are friends. that makes it so funny that fans argue while the players do not.
