You have to be pushing 40 to have anything resembling an old emotional connection to the Kansas City Kings. The kids in the Cauldron would just go "huh?" if Sounders fans even tried.
IIRC, this was a game that had already been cancelled @ Houston, then moved to DC weeks later. Then it was delayed from the prior day. Then there was a MASSIVE delay (like 2 hours) late at night before the game was finished. So you had an absurdly small crowd there to witness the final bit of the game. I think it was an Open Cup game?
This was awesome. The only thing better would have been Beckham pummeling the mascot, which would have immediately made the 'Quakes an international sports brand of epic proportions
That's why if you're the opposing team, and the Galaxy is losing, you need to hide your Mascot before Becks gets a hold of him!
San Jose mascot strikes again. This one taken after Steven Lenhart's game winning goal in stoppage time. Give that man/woman a raise.
If you're referring to the character, then Q is definitely male. Not only did he "grow" a mustache along with several San Jose Earthquakes players for their 30th Anniversary retro day back in 2004 (making him look like a blue Albert Einstein ), but when Q's father Andreas made his one and only appearance thus far alongside him at Spartan Stadium during pregame the day before Father's Day 2005 (Real Salt Lake's first-ever visit to San José), IIRC, the stadium announcer referred to them as "father and son". If you're instead referring to the person wearing the Q costume, though, then your guess is as good as mine. -G
Last night in the game chat on MLS Live, before the match, I wrote that I hope the Quakes mascot has a good showing tonight . . . he did not disappoint.
Maybe we should have made a giant banner with a Seattle fan giving a San Jose fans blow job like you all did last year. Our moral compass must not be on your level.
His mix up with Jesse Marsch brings back more memories to me. The one year that the SuperClasico was truly interesting. This beautiful photo was unintentionally brought to you by Kumho Tires. That jumbotron's so bright that the image in it almost looks photoshopped (I know it isn't, but Kumho did put their logo into every ad space possible for their USWNT commercial. Wouldn't be unprecedented.)
I'm not a huge fan of SKC shooting fireworks from the field, but damn the smoke makes for some epic pictures...
Sam Fahmi snapped this excellent photo of Higuain's second free kick goal, which was inch-perfect between Reis' outstretched hand and the goal post.
