College Basketball

I never got tired and I haven't outgrown (I think I'll never will) college basketball. UAAP in particular or any other college league that my school joins. I like it even more than the PBA or even the NBA. I think my love for college basketball (at least in basketball) can only be rivalled by the Philippine team joining international competitions. But the country seldom wins internationally.

Why do I love it? I can think of a number of reasons;
  1. I cheer for something I really belong to, not like if you cheer for a pro club but you don't work there or you cheer for a state but you might end up moving. If you graduate from a school, that will never change
  2. Players don't get paid (at least that's what I want to believe in), they pay for school pride, they play as if there is no tomorrow and not minding if they get hurt, they give everything, for what? most of the time just pride and bragging rights
  3. The passion, the tears and singing your school hymn

Season 71 just started, I got to go, I'll be watching
