Stories in Sports

My sister taped last night's Ateneo vs La Salle basketball game and perhaps one of the reasons such clashes are highly anticipated is because there's a story behind all of it. Rivalries don't suddenly pop up out of nowhere, each side has its own perspective. Each school has jokes about the other and that only compounds to the university myth. It's either that or we love to put competitions into a context, even if that means establishing this or that faction is the enemy.
