Video is amazing, though NSFW. We're talking about unchecked aggression. Let's have some this week against the Goats, shall we boys? Click to continue reading...

Quakes/Spurs Collabo

0
I had heard rumblings (har har) about this for a little while, but didn't want to get anyone in trouble and let the cat out of the bag. Now that CLS has confirmed, I can talk about the Quakes partnership with Tottenham Hotspur, and what it will mean (if anything). My gut tells me that [...] Click to continue reading...

OK, so I was walking, not running, but still. And the tree was way bigger. Karma for saying we won't make the playoffs? Maybe. But enough administrative make-fun-of-the-blogger stuff... Before my near-fatal accident (kidding), I remember something about us playing a game tonight. Luckily, the DVR is armed and ready. Click to continue reading...

Song Of The Week - “Real”ity Sandwich

Normally we try to stay away from anything related to the southern half of this state, but Busdriver is too raw to pass up, L.A. be damned. As my previous post alluded to, I thought this song would be a perfect fit. Have a bite. Busdriver - Reality Sandwich Click to continue reading...

Dear Paul Ward…

Let me apologize for the other fans that choose to support the same team as I do, the San Jose Earthquakes. They seem to think that you are at fault for our team's loss yesterday. You, sir, were not 1-9-2 on the road. You, sir, did not let Yuri Movsisyan look like [...] Click to continue reading...

Who Are You To Doubt El Dandy?

... he's a silent guardian ... a watchful protector... El Dandy Nandy has been nothing short of ill for the club this year. With Captain Garcia always looking for an ear to listen to his daily musings, Riley busy getting thrown out, and Eric Denton ... I dunno, Denton kinda feels like Delaware to me.

What A Terrible Weekend (And It’s Only Noon On Sunday)

Following an 8 hour bus ride to Pullman, WA and back, this is not what I wanted to come home to. Landon Donovan is my least favorite player in the history of The Major League Soccer.

Warning: Do not force yourself to listen to CSRN on the web. Ever. So between that radio broadcast, and highlights on MLSNet, there's not a lot to say about the match.

A History Of The Ultras by The Don (Not Garber)

I had planned on making this blog relatively supporter group-neutral, but a post from Don Gagliardi about a certain playoff game in 2003 on the Ultras forum was just too good to pass up: The thing new 1906 Ultras should know about that game is that our precursors, the San Jose Ultras, played a material role [.

Get To Know Your Fourth Official - Yader Reyes

1
So, one upon a time I had this brilliant idea to create made-up biographies of the fourth official of the previous game (since only the head official is given beforehand), similar to the Throwball blog Kissing Suzy Kolber does with cheerleaders. So yesterday's fourth official was none other than Yader Reyes. Click to continue reading...

What a great weekend. I just got back from Red Bull Portland Flugtag. Interestingly enough, Eric Denton somehow sent his aircraft backwards, into the water the other direction. Go figure.

Reports are that we have signed Spaniard Mikel Arce from CD Lourdes. 6′3″, 24 years old, scored 20 goals in the Tercera (Third) Division in Spain last year. More info coming as it arrives. P.S.

Oh well. Someone had to go. Unfortunate that we could only get a partial allocation out of it, but I imagine thats more than we could have gotten from OG Denton.

The first edition on checking up on Ken Roberts' Sports Club Stats page for the Quakes.

MLS = European Basketball?

The thought occurred to me just now while watching the US take apart Canada, and the commentators were talking about Josh Childress, formerly of Stanfurd, and other players "defecting" overseas to play ball.

Why is no-one talking about this? From Climbing The Ladder: First of all, SJ would have to go back to their 2005 season to get a full 30 games.
