4-1 Quakes

Faria (3), Crazy George (1), Onstad OG.

 

Hmmmm. Dallas seems to have got a shot of adrenalin over the loss of Coach Mike Jefferies as you can see in the 2-0 over Chicago. If the Quakes play with the intensity they demonstrated yesterday they will win. The question is how much the Jefferies ejection will do for Dallas: Make it something like Quakes 3, Dallas 2? Or is the injection worthless and with Saturday's verve Quakes win 6-0? This has just become harder to predict.

 

It's not just Jeffries leaving. Dallas has been improving the last month. They now have 3 new very fast attackers to go with the suddenly hustling Eddie Johnson. Remember how Landon took about the first half of his first season to start really clicking? Eddie is starting to look like this year is the year he figures it out. That doesn't mean the Burn win. If the defense plays like yesterday they have a chance. If they play like most of the year they have no chance. Maybe this game they will mark Donovan when he is in the box as that works real good for every other team. BTW, one of the contenders for the Burn job is your assistant Kinnear. How much of your success is he responsible for? We don't need another assistant riding the coattails of a good head coach.

 

5-0 Quakes

Donovan 9, 25, 73
Ekelund 43
Derosario 51

 

Dallas has played very well in the last two matches against two very good teams in Colorado and Chicago. We would do well not to under-estimate them at this time or it could come back to bite us on the ass. Also, we haven't been playing that well at home lately so we need to be sharp.

 

Bring a Friend

It's official Club Quake bring a friend night. So if you're a member bring a friend to this game with your free ticket. Even if you're not a member bring a friend.

 

Re: Bring a Friend

Does that mean we aren't allowed to bring friends to other games?

 

Re: Re: Bring a Friend

Yes, that is correct.

My brother and I are going to bring a couple of kegs to the tailgate before the game. Our family business is catering and we have some beer left, so we'll share it with all of you at no charge since it's already been paid for. Bottoms up to the team!!

 

Re: Re: Re: Bring a Friend

Bring as many friends as possible to any and all games.

 

Re: San Jose - Dallas (Saturday, 9/27) pregame thread

We are all most grateful. Is Tim Hanley our guest (or one of them) at this next tailgate?

 

I'm looking for a breakout game at home. Yes Dallas has been playing better of late, but if the Quakes play like they did in KC they will rimind Dallas of who's at the top of the table and who's at the bottom!

 

San Jose - Dallas (Saturday, 9/27) pregame thread

Yeah, I look for us to totally dominate Dallas, and not because of anything related to Dallas, but rather it's a comment Landon made after the KC win. Something about how Frank had told them basically they could walk into the playoffs playing poorly, or they could get their act together and start pouring it on -- and it seems they've chosen to do the latter. Can't wait for this game. Hope it's on my Shootout this time!

 

Call your cable provider, or whomever you paid that 50 bucks to, and start raising hell. There's no reason that a channel could not be set aside for what you've paid for. I know it's Texas, but that's ridiculous.

 

San Jose - Dallas (Saturday, 9/27) pregame thread

Yeah, course I can't get through to them on the phone yet, but they got a HOT e-mail from me and I'm expecting a reply. I'm gonna turn up the heat as the weekend draws nigh. Told them a satellite dish was looking pretty good right now!

 

Re: Re: Bring a Friend

If you are a member of Club Quake you got a voucher for a free ticket (at least one). We're encouraging our members to use the voucher to bring a friend to the game. It's also kind of a poor man's "break the record" night - we don't expect to break any records but are trying to get as many people to the game as possible by "bringing a friend."

 

Was that the "Gift Certificate"? If so, I already used it. Two tickets wasn't it?

 

San Jose - Dallas (Saturday, 9/27) pregame thread

O.K...so what if we have no friends?...or if they won't allow themselves to be called our "friend" officially??

 

Re: San Jose - Dallas (Saturday, 9/27) pregame thread

We're in trouble. It's time for counseling.

 

Re: San Jose - Dallas (Saturday, 9/27) pregame thread

they don't show burn matches on tv where you are, i mean not all of the away matches anyhow?

 

San Jose - Dallas (Saturday, 9/27) pregame thread

Just stand on the corner of First & Santa Clara streets carrying a sign "WILL YOU BE MY FRIEND?"...you'll fit right in to this neighborhood.

And if you wear Quakes kit while doing it...that's good marketing!

 

Yes. And Yes if you are a season ticket holder. Only one if you are a CQ member and not a season ticket holder.

And the point is, even if you've used it - Bring a new "friend." I saw Blind Date last night and I realize that some people do not have friends. So bring a work associate. A fellow parishoner. The lady you bought ice cream from last week. Just bring someone.

 

Got it. Will definitely give it a try.
