Hmmmmmmmm

I know lots and lots of people are really excited about Saturday’s pre-game events so I’m going to keep the snark to a minimum. Here’s what we get to look forward to (besides the footie):

* A special Earthquakes video on the stadium big screen (can anything top We Believe? lets all find out together!)

* The return of that blue mascot thingy “Q” (I wanna see some breakdancing!)

* The players and coaches will enter the field through a “human tunnel” consisting of a bunch of kids (crouch down guys)

* Soccer Silicon Valley will return the two MLS Cups to Lew Wolff (ok, this part is actually quite touching)

* Red Bull sky divers will land on the field to give the game ball to Earthquakes staff (is this supposed to top that jet pack from last year?)

Kickoff is at 1:30pm (gates open at 11:30am). Uh, when do all the above activities start? 9am? But I would like to add that its a relief not to have to sit through some sh*tty synchronized dance routine… unless its Sparkle Motion. Those girls bring it.

  The Red Bull skydivers were at the NY-Columbus game last weekend. Though I thought it would be lame, it was actually very cool. It was a clear day, and 4 skydivers jumped from a plane and parachuted to the center circle, with one of the skydivers’ video cameras being broadcast on the big screen in Giants Stadium. Great stuff.

  i was witness to this same stunt years ago at a 49′ers game…one of the skydivers missed the stadium completely! we never did figure out where he ended up (perhaps out in the bay?)…i can only hope these guys don’t miss and end up landing on 880…ouch.

  I’ll be sure not to identify myself as a Galaxy fan in any way on Saturday. I probably shouldn’t even mention that I’m rooting for Chicago in this game. I Wouldn’t want to get jumped in the Colosseum parking lot by San Jose fans.
