Rebound on Hardball

The regular writers of Rebound magazine made a guest appearnce in the Friday September 18 episode of Hardball on Studio 23/ANC. We were there to promote the second issue of Rebound but primarily discussed the upcoming UAAP Final Four. In the dressing room pa lang, laugh trip na. Grabe. We really had a good time on the show.
Speaking of the second issue of Rebound, there are a couple of features that have Mark Barroca. An excellent profile by Sid Ventura, a short piece where I breakdown his crossover, and a story that discusses FEU's problems. Very timely.
Rebound columnist and Hardball host Bill Velasco asked former NCAA courtside reporter cassie Umali about her thoughts on the F4. That sort of caught her by surprise since she does sales for the mag. But she did pick out Ateneo to win. Hahahaha.

The producers divided us into two groups. The first batch that went on were Mike Yu, editor-in-chief of Rebound, Cassie, and myself. We talked about the Ateneo-UST match-up. And there was Boyet Sison (thanks for the kind words) and Bill Velasco for hardball.

Making a point on the Ateneo-UST match-up.

The second group included Mike Abasolo, Chris Soler, and Sid Ventura who discussed their thoughts on the FEU-UE match and the Mark Barroca incident.

Sid Ventura here stressed a point why he thinks UE will advance over FEU.

After the appearance on Hardball, we repaired to Rebound editor Kenneth Ti's place in New Manila for dinner and to plan for the third and final issue of 2009. It's the championship issue and we got some great content for all college hoop fans. It's going to be out by mid-November.
