UAAP Season 71 Preview: Adamson Soaring Falcons
Tue, Jun 24, 2008 by Purple and Gold
Overview: Welcome and soar with the Adamson Soaring Falcons - the only other team in the UAAP which takes pride in having a verb in its team monicker - aside from UP. Coincidentally, UP and AdU both thrived on riding the cellar last year with pathetic play and non-sense chucking from some players last season. We'll get to the chucking part later. More overview. Adamson has been known last year for fucking up so many games that they had chances of winning, especially games vs Ateneo and FEU. While UP has been badly beat by an average margin of 20 points, Adamson has been in the thick of things in most games but for no reason at all, they suddenly lose composure, fuck up things and make fucked-up plays like quick shots and matador defense and they let their opponents run on them. As a result, their Season 70 turned to be as fucked up as the supposed to be dream season of UE.
Why you should root for them: Jojo Hate, Jamaica de la Cruz, Beau "BEAU KNOWS!" Canlas, Aaron Atayde and Ken Bono
Why you shouldn't: Ricardo "Tombstone" Matibag, Marlou Aquino, Patrick "Feeling Kobe" Cabahug, Marvin Poloyapoy and a couple more of boneheads that graced the Adamson basketball program.
Roster changes: Parting ways with the Adamson Soaring Falcons is Patrick Cabahug, the number 1 chucker in Season 70. Adamson fans and UAAP fans alike were treated to a Patrick Cabahug brick show whenever Adamson played. This occasionally happened except when they played UP and Cabahug exploded like a Mt. Etna. Other than UP, Patrick Cabahug was always seen on national TV trying take on opponents like he's Kobe Bryant of the 2004-2007 season Lakers or like he's Lebron Fucking James. Reliable big man Roel Hugnatan will also be out of the Falcons' roster this season, as well as with guard Leo Canuday (known for his collection of wannabe thug tattoos and having the voice of Toguro's older brother from the Ghost Fighter series) and no-namer Francisco dela Paz.
Key Additions: Joining with the team is the old rookie Michael Galinato, and Planet X inhabitants named Chesmar Lapitan, Alexander Nuyles and Robert Ryan Ruiz, whose names were all researched from Sid Ventura's article in Ubelt.com.
The biggest addition to the team this season is the return of former head coach Leo Austria to the team. If your memory will serve you right, Coach Austria helped Adamson enter in the Final Four in 2006. They almost beat Ateneo; in a gallant effort. But nothing was so much gallant about Adamson's season last year.
Bench: Don't bother asking about their bench, because every name in their lineup is an automatic candidate to ride the bench right in their very roster - they would actually boost their chances of being bench riders by trying to play for better teams. With that said, rising guard Jerick Cañada might get the start, also old rookie Michael Galinato, Colina might get to start and... maybe two wildcard players which identities can be determined by drawlots or a toss coin. The rest of the roster can ride the bench and wait for Leo Austria's substitution patterns.
Gameplan: Adamson's gameplan will rely on quick-shooting and matador defenses. Since most of the team is rookie-laden, Coach Austria will have to bear with majority of his players trying to be showboats and then ending with bonehead plays and consequently, with a FAIL stamp. They will pretend that they can exercise teamwork for at least a quarter; if it works and they stay close of the adversary, they will continue it to the next quarter. And to the next if somehow they sustain some momentum or for whatever it's worth. If the Falcons get left behind early, it will be obligatory for all of them to play the role of "I AM THE SAVIOR OF THIS TEAM" when shit happens. Players on the court will chuck up shots out of the play like it was designed a-la Patrick Cabahug and Ken Bono. They will suddenly become inept dribblers and succumb to press defenses like it was their first week in Milo Best. The defense will loosen up like a retarded person loosening up his screws on the head. At the end of it, Adamson will end up throwing up. And then, they'll lose another golden chance to win.
Tradition: Having no notable tradition to speak of, Adamson prides itself on its rich track record of courtside reporters... although none of these entities are actually from AdU nor is anyone from AdU responsible for their selection.
AdU got the ball rolling in 2003 with Beau Canlas. His innate confusion of his pigmentation coupled with his truckload of ebonics and potent charisma, Beau not only was a highly successful courtside reporter but also managed to squeeze his way in to Studio23's flagship sports show, SportsTV, with a segment called yep, "Beau Knows" with a premise about yep, Beau "knowing". Beau's league-high three-year reign on the sidelines is tied with Jam Alindagon of FEU. Beau also has the face to back it up, having a look-a-like face that of the Denver Nuggets' Carmelo Anthony. Superstar power plus MC-ing while doing reports has Beau's number 1 advantage over all reporters. Not even Micky Deles or Lia Cruz could match that special talent of Beau.
Following in the legendary footsteps of Beau is Jamaica dela Cruz. With the voluptuousness that could give Gretchen Fullido a run for her money and the mic savvy of a grizzled veteran, Jamaica was a cult favorite among PEX pundits who have been often mistaken for groupies who want a piece of Jamaica badly. Sadly, she only lasted one year.
The Ultimate Falcon: Even though Adamson's basketball program has been mostly on its heels since they were suspended in the early 90's for faking some player's docs, there still have been bright stars in Adamson's basketball program. But one person has been the brightest star for Adamson U. Yes, no mistake about it, he is Jojo Hate. He is loved by his fans for his awesome intensity on the playing court. His intense and good play is strongly backed up with his awesome looks that will rival that of heartthrobs Christopher Tiu and Simon David Atkins. The attention he gets also rivals the likes of Letranite Bryan Faundo, whom the Letran Knights crowd refer as FAUUUUUUUNNNDOOOOOOHHHHHHH whenever Rolly Manlapaz is calling Faundo's name out. Jojo Hate is always often mentioned by screaming and wanting fans in several message boards and fan sites for his spectacular qualities. He also doesn't only get recognition from forums, he also gets a lot of accolades from the fans that flock the playing arena during games. What more can you ask for from the Ultimate Falcon? Just the armpit hair (as you see in the picture) is enough to make the female and the not-so-female fans to go gaga on Jojo Hate. The fair complexion is a major bonus. Although he was not the best Falcon that ever played, he still gets the nod for the Ultimate Falcon because of his swabe style that matches his fire on the court. And also his hairstyle is fucking cool.
Outlook: Jojo Hate was good news. Meanwhile, Adamson will win a lot of games... against UP. That's the bad news. But lo and behold, worry not. Beau Canlas will make a return appearance in the UAAP Courtside Reporting job to spice up Adamson's huddle and to relieve Magic DJ Aaron Atayde of more responsibility from his night-shift radio show in Magic. Who knows? Beau knows!

That's a fact frksldsm pero being asked to lead a rookie team is no joke. Super matrabaho and madaming kailangan ituro. Si Franz ginawa nya ng 2003 yan, hirap na hirap ang La Salle. Although he almost went to the championship game, many wanted his head to roll after the F4 loss to Ateneo.
but falcons are in good hands with coach leo. maybe he can do some magic for this season and surprise everybody! hehe!

Yes, he is gone. I'll also miss his Kobe Bryant antics. Basically the Adamson lineup is really rookie-laden. I don't even know if they have a senior this year. This article bashes them but I really wish them well IRL.
Canuday is gone too, according to Sid Ventura.

where's canuday?
Wadapak? Patrick Cabahug is gone?! I'm going to miss his volume shooting! Maybe not as much as Marvin Agustin's "jedi knight" hairstyle, but I'll miss it nonetheless.
