It has been years and a decade since COE-FUEL Team proved its valor and power over their foes from Intrams to its transition of Inter-Collegiate Athletic Competition (ICAC). We have seen it as we rule over the games and competition, such as Cheerdance, in our university. Our distinction is undisputable. We are the titans of this university, dominating since then to the athletic competition since then with all support and our desire to win.
Before we finally witnessed the opening of this year’s athletic competition, ICAC encountered several issues. This turned to the discussion of the existence of the Inter-Collegiate and Campuses Athletic Competition (ICCAC) for this school year. Exchange of notions regarding this event has been made before arriving to a final decision. Instead of celebrating the ICCAC ’09 for only three days, we have been given the whole-year round of fighting. According to the officials responsible for this event, this aims to help the students focus more on academics.
But it seems that the transition of ICAC to ICCAC knocked us from being a titan down to being an underdog. During the first day of fight on August 20, we were spilled out with disappointments and failures of the games. The opening of this event seems not in favor to FUEL’s luck. COE-FUEL failed to impress the crowd as they showed the fruit of their preparation and hardships. Furthermore, most of the players were unequipped and played unsatisfactorily on their games.
“We’ve undergone practice for only two days because we were only informed at the day it was announced to everyone,” one of the players shared.
The players lacked of confidence during their games and the officers-in-charge were left extremely exhausted due to the ineffective scheduling of the events. These were just some of the negative implications brought by the changes made. If we’ll further analyze these, we’ll arrive at a conclusion that we still need a lots of coping up to do.
