5:14	[Comment From Marnel] congrats to UP!

5:15	first, where you guys from?

5:15	[Comment From martin] go la salle!

5:15	i mean, are you in the Phils.?

5:16	we still got a few minutes. I completely missed the UP game though. Would've been nice.

5:16	I wrote at an earlier post how Woody Co's interview really revealed a lot about him, and am hoping to see him play well.

5:16	[Comment From martin] im from manila, but im in korea right now for work. hassle nga eh, cant watch the game. im trying to find someplace on the internet i can watch it live. you know any possibilities i can watch it?

5:17	frankly martin, wala talaga.

5:17	even the PBA one doesnt work too.

5:17	your only hope is youtube. search for someone named 'inboundpass'

5:17	[Comment From martin] hassle. give me a blow by blow. hehehe!

5:17	thats what im hear for bro!

5:18	they're showing replays of the last game bet. ue and dlsu.

5:18	borboran had a clear shot for a three but it clanged.

5:18	[Comment From martin] where dlsu kicked their asses!

5:19	that could've gone either way for sure.

5:19	they'rs showing old reels from last year's championship. With cholo still there.

5:19	[Comment From Marnel] Makati right now. Might be home in 30 mins to watch the game on tv hehehe. I used to teach in DLSU for 5 straight years so I'm praying that it will be DLSU's day today hehehe

5:21	thats great marnel. am at my gf's house at bf pque. lots of people here to watch with me, unlike usually when i liveblog am at home and its quiet.

5:21	alright, we're a few mins away. venue is at araneta, as expected, packed. DLSU has a 5-1 record, against UE's 3-3.

5:22	boom gonzales and tj manotoc covering it for today. that's great. both are at the top of their game.

5:22	[Comment From martin] ue was expected to do well again this year but what a disappointment so far.

5:23	re UE, im starting to worry if their lineup is as potent as it was a year or so ago.

5:23	last year was supposed to be THEIR year.

5:23	[Comment From Marnel] Thanks Gary! We need to defend that precious trophy u know. Great effort on your part for office buffs like me :-)

5:23	thanks marnel, thanks a lot.

5:24	as i was saying, as everyone knows, setting up a winning team takes years of planning and recruitment.

5:25	UE did a great job for 2 to 4 years straight, and last year, it was really theirs for the taking.

5:25	franz and dindo on a split screen on the tv.

5:25	i wonder where their folks sit.

5:26	commercials pa.

5:27	globe.. and pizza hut..

6:15	[Comment From martin] can i just say, you're doing a really good job with this play by play thing. if you do so well typing, imagine what you can do by just saying it. maybe you should look into taking tj manotocs job. hehehe!

6:15	[Comment From martin] i voted na. syempre dlsu yan. i think it will be dlsu and ateneo sa finals

6:21	[Comment From martin] whats the score? any news on mangahas? that guy has been pretty consistent behind jayvee, as long as hes healthy.

6:21	so sorry, will get back with score. missed it.

6:21	last i saw mangahas was on the bench. no news if hes ok or what.

6:22	ok.. observations.. dlsu game is very erratic.

6:22	mostly individual plays, relying on talent mostly.

6:23	maybe theyre still shaken up with what happened to simon and marco

6:23	[Comment From martin] grabe three injuries in one game. batricevic is hardly used naman and atkins is not as good as his billboards are, maybe he should concentrate on modelling. but mangahas is a pretty good player. future star of dlsu yan, along with barua

6:23	anong ad ni simon martin?

6:24	[Comment From martin] but from what i read from your play by play, ang daming turnovers ng dlsu, its a wonder they're still sticking close to ue.

6:24	yes yes thanks for reminding me. approx 13 or so turnovers in 1st q alone.

6:24	will wait for the visuals after halftime. right now its ue cheer.

6:25	[Comment From martin] maraming ads si atkins, one major one is hanford i think, basta there's a big billboard on south super hiway. naglalabanan yata sila ni chris tiu for more ads, but at least tiu is a better player. hehehe!

6:26	ah yeah. i saw the tiu hanford ad kanina at sshway.

6:26	[Comment From martin] any news on the halftime score?

6:26	wait lang. dlsu cheer naman.

6:27	[Comment From martin] by the way, just curious, which of the uaap teams do you support?

6:27	Animo Martin, ANIMO!!!

6:28	rektikano rektikano rektikano ra!

6:28	[Comment From martin] hehehe! ok

6:29

[Comment From martin]
do you watch the games live also or do you just devote your time to doing this kind of thing? by any chance, do you have any connections for tickets? sometimes kasi i have a hard time getting them for the big games. and there's no atmosphere quite like watching a live uaap game.

6:29	man if i had connections to tickets i wouldnt be here promise.

6:30	i tell you i have a sponsor on this blog who also sponsors the uaap a lot, and even THEY cant get tickets
