Quakes/Rapids Videos

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

Notes: Ryan Johnson – still a beast.

Quakes vs. Rapids TONIGHT @ Buck Shaw

Friday, February 27th, 2009

Finally, a chance to shake of the cobwebs and get into full gear for the upcoming season.  A chance for all Ultras, and Quakes fans in general, to get back into the swing of things as the Nerazzuri take on the former Nerazzuri of Colorado, now in claret and blue.  In my opinion, the biggest thing about this game is that the Ultras will now be filming in HD!  Expect high quality videos to come Saturday, Sunday, or sometime next week.  Whenever I get around to it.

Game time is 7:30, the Ultras will be meeting at the Hungry Hound at 5:30.  Bring cash, rumor has it they don’t take checks or cards. 

Some notes passed along by the front office:

  • Parking lots 1,2 & 4 will open at 5:30PM for general parking and will cost $10
  • Gates A and C will open at 6:00PM
  • Once you enter the stadium, there will be a season ticket holder table where you may do the following:
    - Pick up your Darren Huckerby bobblehead
    - Early Birds can pick up their scarves
    - An autograph session is tentatively scheduled with Shea Salinas, Alfonso Montagalvan and Cam Weaver which will begin at 6:00PM
    - Sign up to participate in our Season Ticket Holder half time juggling competition
  • All sections are open and the stadium will be general admission seating
  • There will be no VIP tent area for this game
  • North concession stand will be open

And since i screwed the pooch on getting a YouTube Thursday post up, here’s something to tide you over:

Hope to see you all out there in full voice tonight.

Full time (foot)baller and part time writer Aki Riihilahti signed with the Quakes.  I am absolutely elated.  I used to read his articles in FourFourTwo when he was with Crystal Palace.  I will go on the record and say that the Hills will get an interview with this man at some point.  For now, go read up.
