This Week 12-9-19

Some news from elsewhere. We will be off until (officially) February 29 when the Quakes open against Toronto, also they play in Philadelphia’s home opener 2 weeks later on March 14.

Plus the teams decided to have a bit of fun on the twitter.

Yes, it could have been March 1, but February 29 is the earliest date on record although it’s only because that happens every 4 years, or 28 years on a Saturday.

And the latest from the Beautiful Blog – the first one from Sunday.Β  It is dated, but the focus is on the Stanford men.

The second one has some major news with Stanford winning the women’s NCAA College Cup and the Oakland Roots forming an NPSL side called Project 51O (as in the area code).
