I think I should stop calling Quakes management The Frank & Co and instead refer to them as The Scooby Gang from now on. It may just be my general sense of whimsical romanticism but I imagine those guys hanging out together, reminiscing about the good ol’ days of just a few years ago, […]

Whoever maintains the official San Jose Earthquakes website is a kindred spirit because they posted this amazing picture of Ian Russell alongside the official press release announcing his new position. While not as shocking as The Frank’s move back to the Bay, the old Quakes connection was enough to warrant some local press […]
Russell is assistant coach

The band is getting back together! At some point today, while I was out and about, The Quakes announced former midfielder and part-time model Ian Russell as The Frank’s new assistant coach. On a side note, this is the only prediction I’ve gotten correct so far. I’m a huge fan of the […]

While the rest of us went absolutely gaga over that Bay Area MLS team finally getting players, our local USL 1 team that tried, The California Victory, quietly folded. The original owners, Spanish soccer club Deportivo Alaves, recently switched ownership and the new bosses decided they didn’t want to keep the USA team. […]

He’s been a Quake for a grand total of five days but now he’s off to Columbus. Soccer Silicon Valley is reporting Preston Burpo will be moving up north and we’ve just traded Carroll’s ass for Kei Kamara. There’s a press release out there somewhere, but until I see it, more info can […]

We didn’t get our Friday trade and/or new acquisition announcement. Bummer. Well, that didn’t stop the rumor mill from flying out of control. So far, I’ve read reports that Ramiro Corrales, Danny Califf, and Kamani Hill are possible new players. I’m gonna sit tight and be patient with The Frank & […]

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone reading this is spending the day stuffing their faces and preparing to drop like flies when the tryptophan coma sets in. But if you are anything like me, you’ll sneak away for a bit just to check the internets for any new Earthquakes or soccer news in general. […]
Notes from the Draft Party
By: Melissa | No Comments
The fine folks at Soccer Silicon Valley posted audio of the event so I was able to stay tucked in to my nice warm bed and pretend I was really there. Here are some quick notes on the party:
* Frank emphasized he wanted guys based on work-rate and specifically “young, hungry, affordable players”
* He […]
