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.

The ULTRAS Invade San Luis Obispo This Weekend

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.
