What did I miss?

By: Melissa | April 28th, 2008

Turns out, I missed quite a lot. We lost our mojo against NY, but lucky for us, the next game is home (good). Unfortunately it’s against a team on a bit of a tear right now (bad). Jeff Carlisle says our midfield is starting to gel and no doubt this Saturday will be the true test of that statement against Dallas and their dreaded 3-5-2 wall o’ midfield. For us locals, I believe an area near Buck Shaw will open two hours before the game with beers and food for sale and maybe hats and t-shirts (who knows?) but I don’t have any real details on it (I believe it’s inside the South Gate entrance). I do know that people cannot bring in outside food or alcohol (lame) which probably means the beers inside will be overpriced and crap. Also, it’s officially official – the Quakes banned fans blowing those plastic horns at their Santa Clara games. Not exactly sure what the punishment is if you get caught with one. And my scientist friend says the fancypants imported Double T grass on the new Santa Clara practice field is really plastic (ssshh! don’t tell Ronnie O’Brien). Ok, I think that’s it but I’ll leave you with one final bit of news: I just got dissed on Bigsoccer. I finally made it to the big time folks and I am nothing but proud. Although, to be honest, I’m not exactly following the argument that only serious soccer talk should be allowed on the San Jose Earthquakes Off Topic section at Bigsoccer.

    Ha! That’s really bizarre. I left my 2 cents, as well. ;)

    yadayadayada: By the way, that fanzine idea of yours is pretty cool. I hope you do it. And here’s an idea - wrapping the pages of the fanzine around the flasks we will be sneaking into the “no outside booze allowed offical Buck Shaw tailgates.”

    Man, I’ve been missing out on all the fun! Yada beat me to the chicken dance…Caw-Ca-Caw! We should also add the cha-chit-cha dance too! I’m all for it. I looked at the Big Soccer post. What a Chicle!

    We should talk soon about carpooling. Let’s PM on the 1906 Ultras site.

    ALLLGooD: Allison and I are def down. I upped the “Caltrain” thread and asked about that. I’ll contact you there. And you’ve started a phenomenon for sure with this Steve Holt thing (at least I hope).

    i hope i do it too! problem is i’ll be out of town mostly all summer and can’t get it started myself until at least september. i’m hesitant (although not opposed) to doing the publication late season, although that’s certainly not stopping anyone else from trying to start it sooner.

    perhaps the first edition should come flask-shaped.
