Gman, is anyone getting you some therapy sessions for Xmas?
Didn't Clavijo already have some poor coaching experiences in MLS? The CounterRevs? or was it the Metrhoids? both?
Maybe if RSL and the Crapids suck next season we might make the playoffs?
GO QUAKES!!

Funny thing about Clavijo having played in 1983-84 is that he could probably make the MLS All-Star team in 2005 as a player!
Ponder that one!
Then understand that I am only slightly joking! ;-)

Clavijo had to promise them that he would be a good boy this time.
As far as Gman's therapy and counseling are concerned, I hope someone helps him out. With his attitude, he's going to be 80 before he gets to be 35.

It is I who brings the Tequila. Hence the TEQUILA and the "T" on the back of my jersey. Ruben may be the star of the movie, but I'm the Steven Spielberg and the one who won't wake up in jail the next morning.

Let's see when Clavijo joined the Quakes I was out of college a few years and trying to figure out what to do with myself.
I didn't play soccer for my college team in '75, because I was still in high school then. I played some for my high school team though (until I broke my tailbone anyway).
Yeah, this has become the old thread. I'll bring the whiskey.
GO QUAKES!!

Since we've got some oldsters here, how 'bout some Clavijo-related Quakes trivia?
Anybody remember what his claim to fame was, back in the day? (I think Sean O'Callahan used to mention it in the pregame intros.)

Man... I thought I had a great memory regarding this type of stuff, however, you have got me on this one! I am sure it had something to do with his speed?
