The mother of all tailgates
Metro Silicon Valley's April 4 issue, available at a newstand near you now, contains a column from Gary Singh on Earthquakes Soccer, the Mexico/Ecuador match, and the ongoing negotiations with SJSU towards a stadium deal.
His opinion? Well, we could say he's pro-stadium, but he says it better himself:
Of course, when any similar bigtime forward-thinking proposal emerges here, you never see a shortage of cowtown nincompoops who oppose it—just like the Arena 20 years ago—but I insist on remaining blindly optimistic, relentlessly unobjective, partisan as all bloody hell and highly opinionated about the whole shootin' match. This will and should happen, dagnabbit.
Well said, Gary. (Plus, anyone who uses the word "dagnabbit" gets bonus points from us.)

Does anybody know anything about Pachuca being involved in bringing a soccer team to the Bay area? It was mentioned briefly tonight during Telefutura's Contacto Deportivo.

Sorry -- haven't heard anything about that.
