DLSU-Tube Flashback: The 1998 Championship

It’s been 10 years since the Green Archers won their first of four consecutive UAAP championships. Who could not forget this memorable game wherein we finally buried the stigma of four consecutive runner-up finishes the seasons before. The entire DLSU community was all so ecstatic to see the end of the “Bridesmaid Era”. As a student back then, I consider this as the best championship year ever. After all the heartaches of previous years, this victory was indeed very special for the school.

Of course this was also the last time fans could storm into the Araneta Coliseum playing court in jubilation since the venue was renovated the following year wherein a new expensive floor was installed. I am proud to be part of that crowd who charged into the playing court. The feeling is truly priceless.

    Growling Archer,

    Alam mo kung ano ang the best sa video na yun? Its not Cali John, running and jumping like a headless chicken after he was fouled, or Ritualo making the three, or the fans running onto the court or even Coach Franz cheesy teenager-style moustache, You know what the best thing about the video is? Its a toss up between Danny Gavieres (FEU coach) apple cut hair do and Carter briefs being the sponsor of the best player of the game! Imagine if that happened in 2008. JV Casio would have his name right beside an underwear brand after he won the games MVP. Kengkoy! :)

  13. Bruticus says:

    Ha ha naalala ko iyan. I remember seating right behind the basket and storming the court when the final buzzer sounded. Ah and yes, also seeing the SJ Walk and Pebble Wash being heavily congested during the victory party.

  14. umore says:

    THOSE were the days.

    Magkaka-batch pala tayo, mga tol. 2nd Year college din ako nung nanalo ang Archers.

    Astig talaga ang La Salle.
