While I aim for this blog to be solely about the NBA and deal with NBA Fantasy, I haven't got much to write about these past few days, considering the lack of offseason moves by teams. Besides, all projections on their production will pretty much be speculation until we actually see them on the court.
With this, I'm featuring an offseason special, with the UAAP Cheerdance Competition as the topic. In true Sala Scout spirit, all views and opinions are based on what we see on TV or in our laptops and definitely not based on interviews or inside information from each school. My friend, Imon Olgado (@iamtheblur on Twitter) burns teams in previewing the upcoming CDC this weekend.
"*ed." are marked as my contributions :)

| Memory fails to provide me with exact years of costumes worn |
Adamson: After losing for years in the CDC, their coach called it quits and will be resigning effective sept 14, a day before the competition. This will have no effect whatsoever on the chances of their school winning anything, as they have no chance at all of winning. *ed. They'll probably end up copying parts of routines that have already been done in previous years and claim it like its an original of theirs. Pretty much like what they've done for some of their cheers.
 |
| Superheroes! Of course no other school thought of that! |
UE: They won't be competing this year on the floor. But do not be surprised if they'll be winning it this year after drafting a letter than will virtually forfeit all the competitors. You have been warned. *ed. Really difficult to write something about really good teams, and really irrelevant teams.
 |
| Ah, how we miss "swagging" ayon sa tamang place sa standing |
UST: How the mighty has fallen: the Salinggawi will try again to regain lost glory of the early 2000's. But due to lack of financial backing, flooding in Espana, and forgetting to include a legit point guard in the roster, they won't be winning it this season. *ed. See how it's difficult to burn your own school? =)) 'Gawi is years removed from its glory days, and is having a difficult time reaching the top once again with teams improving around them.
 |
| Not sure how many times they did this, but they almost seem to just do it. |
FEU: Dont fix it if aint broke. Expect to the the Tams don costumes of Tamaraws that really look like rugby sniffing green bears of Morayta. They will give the Maroons a scare because of their holdup/snatch tactics and other modus operandi, but will probably lose again because they will probably shave some points off their score. *ed. If the pattern of the Seniors Men's Basketball Tournament is to be followed, then FEU might concede their place in the top 3 to ADMU, much like how they've handed over their almost-championships to the same school in a silver platter.
 |
| Yup, that happened. Gone are the days that this team is trying something new like cheering in blankets |
NU: All that glitters is not gold, they might be the SM Dept store powered NU pep squad! From parking lot to the MoA Arena these guys have gone a long way in the competition, from the way they dress and hiring a legit cheerdance coach. They will have a outside chance of winning it all if and only if we can just locate their school. *ed. Contrary to popular belief, they do not hold classes in MoA.
 |
| Oh no, we didn't forget, La Sale :) |
DASU: If their freethrows are any indication of what they can do, the dyslexic pep squad from Taft can just save everyone time by actually cheering 'Thank you, Bo and Justice for JJ' for a minute. So they can be suspended from next year's competition. Good news: They can man up and accept the suspension. *ed. No typos here. We just did not forget that 2007 mishap :)
 |
| Maliit na at malabo ang pic, mei mga cute pa rin :)) |
ADMU: Their integrity and their participation are not to be questioned! They will probably unseat their Diliman neighbors through their impeccable timing on errors, er, flops, er, graceful fall, er, paying judges, er, giving away cars, er, routines! If in case they lose, Guidon will be their to make up excuses, er, say their are more important things in life like filing a counter 'clarification letter' to the Board. *ed. On a positive note, this team never fails to bring eye candies on the court. Now if only those had points!
 |
| Do you not get goosebumps seeing this? Imagine watching a whole routine |
UP: YOUR CHEERDANCE CHAMPIONS! Their basketball program (or whatever shit you call it) might be of Purok 2, Mosquito Division level but their cheerdancers are the best in the country. Unfortunately they have fallen off quite a bit from the World Cheerdance Ranking by 60 spots due to lack of support from the state and lack of practice due to the numerous rallies held this semester. *ed. Again, a difficult school to diss because they're just too good. UP's MBT and Pep Squads have the same relationship as Ateneo's Blue Babble Battalion and Senior MBT. Baliktad nga lang. :P
