The ULTRAS Invade San Luis Obispo This Weekend

Friday, February 13th, 2009

MLS Central Coast Showcase

Still looking for a Valentine’s Day Weekend Getaway? Look no further. The Quakes open up their pre-season with two games against MLS opponents. Tonight, Friday the 13th, the Quakes take on Fredy “Krueger” Montero and the Sounders while Sunday afternoon the Quakes will take on FC Special K & Friends at noon. Both games will be played on campus at Cal Poly at Spanos Stadium.

John Doyle has said that Cam Weaver and Pablo Campos will both be in SLO this weekend, while Convey will not be. Jason Hernandez is also expected not to play.

Expect pictures, videos, and other sorts of propaganda to arrive some time next week.

Until then, start packing now and at least get down there Sunday to watch the Quakes take on 1836 Houston. I hear there’s rain and sub-80 degree weather horizon, so expect Brian Ching to pitch a fit. As if he needs something else to complain about.

The Season Begins

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

I already made my write-up of the first practice here, so no point in re-hashing that. However, here are some pictures to go along with my beautiful prose. I plan on heading to practice a least a couple more times before the Central Coast Showcase in San Luis Obispo. Hopefully by then they will have gone to some different drills, and not just fitness + small sided games.
