This week I talk about how fitting it was the last game of the year at Avaya was rainy and dark. I also talk about decision day this Sunday and how the Quakes can play spoiler even though they are eliminated from the playoffs. 

In this episode, Tommy Thompson gets a rare start but still cannot find his place on the pitch. Dave Kaval says that Dom will be the coach "for a very long time" which makes zero sense. Finally, the Ultras are back.

This week I dive into the off-field drama between the Quakes front office and its largest supporter group, San Jose Ultras. For the un-initiated on September 10 in a game against Seattle, some smoke was set off in the Ultras section which led the front office to sanction the group. I don't really care to point fingers in either direction but I was curious as to why smoke was not allowed in the first place. Some said it was the FAA, some said it was the fire marshall but nobody seemed to know for sure. I went back to city documents from 2009 during the planning of the stadium to see if I could dig up more info.
