What can you say about the overall sports program of UE?

Methink UE's Sports Program needs to be overhauled. Our varsity teams (saved for some) have been lurking at the bottom for years now.

Kudos to the UE Junior teams which managed to win the UAAP Juniors General Championship several years ago.

But our sports program has been left in the dust comparing to our Morayta counterpart, let alone our neighbor at Espana.

Year in and year out, our teams have been fighting tooth and nail for the glory of Lualhati only to fail miserably in the UAAP tournament.

Our Juniors and Women's Basketball teams are the cellar-dwellar since time immemorial.

We have been lagging in the recruitment wars. We can't even let our stellar Highschool Warriors stay and play for our college team. Do Sumang(the former girl's volleyball MVP who now plays for CSB), and Michael "the Thunder" Reyes(the many time boy's volleyball mvp, where is he btw?) ring a bell?

I'm shock when I learned that NU is unbeaten for the time being in the UAAP Men's Badminton competition. Nu has definitely beefed-up its sports program I must say. Having their share of the pie of the blue-chips recruits at their backyard.

Since the Sy's acquired NU, you can see the positive changes in so little a time. NU has experienced a 360 degrees turn...a reversal of fate so to speak. NU winning here and there is not new to the UAAP community nowadays.

Time will come that NU will become one of the formidable teams in the UAAP with the backing and resources of the Business magnate Henry Sy.

While UE, one of the more financially stable academic institutions in the country together with the financial backing of Lucio Tan is being beaten black and blue in the sports arena.

UST will be enjoying its sports complex soon. The MOA Arena will be home of the NU Bulldogs soon. Ateneo has the Moro Lorenzo sports complex to boot. La Salle has its Enrique Razon Sports Complex/Tower. JRU has opened its sports complex a few years back. While EAC has its modern sports complex that is at par with the elite's.

And now the New Era University will be proud of having the biggest arena in the world come 2014.

While the UE athletes and students have the decades-old gym 5. Pathetic indeed! Will the UE Sports Complex stay as a blueprint? Will the dream of having a decent sports facility just be an envy to the UE studentry?

UE needs to give attention to its sports program. UE may have had its glory days in the UAAP wars, but now it's just a thing of the past.

The sleeping giant needs to be awaken.

UE must reclaim its lost glory of the yesteryears. Now.

What say you?

It all boils down to who has the last say.

Reality bites, in sports program, we can't even go head-to-head against FEU.

Gaya ng sabi nyo Icemint, kung ako ay isang tycoon, makikipagsabayan talaga ako kina MVP, Sy et al. just to make suke sure na di tayo mapag-iiwanan.

Ewan ko ba, naturingang may backer tayo with Lucio Tan, pero unlike Sy, di masyadong maramdaman.

I think Lucio Tan is the stereotypical businessman. Business is business. Pag walang direct ROI, walang business.

I even read somewhere that Lucio Tan told Bong Tan to stop supporting basketball teams.

kung hidi rin lang si JAWORSKI ang coach forget basketball. kinalimutan nyo na ang CHESS, remember sa atin nag mula ang mga GM nelson marianoS

asa pa tyo ke lucio tan?

Yup, the legendary Junior Woodpushers natin. Lagi sila champion dati, both male and female teams natin. Ano na pala balita sa kanila?

Chet, please refrain pala from using text lingos. =)

Welcome sa UE Red Tribe forum

Uu nga dapat di natin kinakalimutan ang CHESS hehee.. Kaya ako si UE_Red king eh...Hehehehe Wala na rin akong update sa Red Woodpushers? Si Coach HH (Henry Mariano) pa rin ba ang coach nila?

Siya pa rin yata. Yun isang Mariano nasa UP na. Buti na lang yung batang Mariano sa UE nagcollege.

I remember during the time of coach dindo pumaren, there were rumors going on that the whole p.e building will undergo rehab especially gym5.

Actually bro matagal nang nagstart ang retrofitting ng UE Gym 5. Wala na ako balita ngayon sa progress. Tagal ko na hindi nakakatungtong sa gym.

May blueprint din na nilabas ng UE Sports Complex. Wala nga lang balita kung ano na developments nun.

Welcome pala sa Red Tribe site. Keep posting bro!

Thanks bro! great to be with fellow ueians or uenians.. hehe..

anyway regarding the gym, Im not sure pero sana may chance ang mga alumni to pass this message to our school admin how bothered we are with the current state of our sports program. sayang e.

UE Sports Program = (NI) NEEDS IMPROVEMENT

I agree!

Sobrang errrrr! wala lang, makapaglabas ng sama ng loob hahaha

UAAP doesn't start and end in Men's Basketball.

I hope we can all be competitive in almost if not all sports in the UAAP.

Someday.

Di ako makapaniwala na ang UE LAdy Warriors Volleyball Team ay nagccommute lang papunta at pauwi pag may games sila.

Darn! How pathetic!

Sayang nga eh, UAAP WVT is getting popular as a sports event. Though, with all due respect to Coach Dora, medyo mas may angas ngayon ang UE WVT, pero kulang pa talaga.

Yung MVT naman, lugmok sa 0-14

Ironically, mas okay pa yung performance ng Boys and Girls division ng Volleyball.

And sad to say, yung mga standout ng highschool team natin ay hindi tumutuloy sa College team natin.

Tulad ni Giza Yumang. Ayun nasa CSB na, star player na dun.

Si Michael Reyes, nasaan na kaya sya?Many time High School MVP yun.

May bonfire mamayang 5 pm sa SFC quadrange.

Mukang naguumpisa na manligaw ang UE sa mga high school athletes natin. May bonfire ngayon dahil nag-over-all champion daw tayo sa juniors division ng UAAP. Bibigyan parangal din daw ang INDIVIDUAL MVP's at mga champion teams ng UE.

Mukang mahalaga yung event dahil may mga reserved seats para sa management, guests at may catering sa ground floor.

I hope that is a start.

UNCONFIRMED:

Parang may good news.

Mukang napigilan ng UE ang pagpirata kay Edward Camposano, yung multi-awarded MVP ng Juniors Boys Volleyball natin. Ayon kay President Garcia na naireport na rin during Senate hearing tinatangka din daw yan piratahin ng kapwa UAAP school natin. Mukang tayo nanalo sa recruitment. Nakita ko kahapon si Camposano sa admissions office parang nilalakad na ng mga taga PE Department yung registration nya.

Sana nga tama at totoo ang mga nakita ko.

Good job UE!

Di ba 4 nga yung players natin from our juniors vball team ang sabay sabay na lilipat sa iisang school.

Sana sya na mag-ahon sa UE vball!

Yung bunso kong kapatid nagtrtrain na din ng vball, papalipatin ko next yr sa UE High, sa UE na yun hangang College.

UNCONFIRMED:

Boy Dalistan is no longer the coach of UE Women's Volleyball.

Francis Vicente will be the new coach effective May 1.

from Pex and twitter hahhaha
