Know Thine Enemy: "San Jose" Earthquakes of Oakland and Santa Clara

Sounders FC tries to break a two-game winless streak when "San Jose" comes to town Saturday night. Here's a little primer about our opponent whatever happens to pop into our heads.

(For example to measure the sin of "wrath" the magazine used murder rates for cities.)

Wait, before you answer, one detail: Costco's private label hef will be brewed by beloved local micro-operation Gordon Biersch.

The Husky secondary allowed 323 passing yards to San Jose St. in Saturday's win. The Spartans completed 80% of their passes. Yes, 80%. You might not complete that high a percentage in practice. Why even have a defense?

Update! The CraigsList robber of San Jose State, former player Ellis T. Jones (they kicked him out of the program after his arrest) got some special recognition from exhilarating college football site Every Day Should Be Saturday, in their "Fulmer Cup" rankings--a "competiton" ranking college football programs by the number of illegal acts their players commit.

San Jose St has fast receivers and backs, and a veteran offensive line. They should be able to score against the Huskies.

For years China has been sending us cheap, crappy products, and now the US of A is about to return the favor.

Optimists that we are, we'd hyped ourselves into a pretty good mood about the upcoming Husky football season. (Anything to stop from thinking about the Mariners). We thought--hey--the Dawgs start out with four very winnable games (ignoring the Oklahoma game, which they should probably just forfeit now and save state taxpayers the airfare).

LAist has so much fun this week! They go to E3, where they overhear the timeless remark "Man, this is where nerdy girls get laid." Is that a promise? They also give us this week's best CDs and make us realize that LA is the best place to use Zillow.

Last week, Seattlest visited the KEXP studios, met some of our fave DJ's and spoke with one of the most influential voices in Seattle music.

It's the time of year when Europe's soccer teams come across the Atlantic to warm up for the coming season by knocking a few of our teams around. Hey, as long as they're in town, might as well hold it at the stadium and sell a few thousand tickets to starved fans and have the annual go at the impenetrable nut that is the American soccer audience.

We've always had a soft spot for Alaska Airlines. They seem slightly exotic and yet local all at the same time.

March Madness isn't just the NCAA men's tournament, though Seattlest knows they've trademarked the name. At the risk of a lawsuit, we apply it to the hundreds of loser-out basketball tournaments taking place all over the country, from the South Dakota state "A" championship to the public school championships in New York City. Local teams began tournament life last weekend with the Pac-10 Women's basketball tournament and the State 3A Boys and Girls Tournaments.
