Aiding Our Community

Our 17-year anniversary is around the corner on April 19th. Since we are unable to be in the stands as usual, we decided to celebrate the occasion differently by organizing a project to show our gratitude for some of the people in our community who are working hard on the front line at great personal…

A Letter to Our Community

Dear SJ Earthquakes Community, We are all in this together. Quakes fans, Bay Area residents, Americans, and human beings. Tough times filled with uncertainty, fear, but also hope. Throughout the years we’ve been giving it all of the Quakes: singing, waving flags, making tifo, traveling members of our local communities, we have been trying to…

Almeyda’s Treatment

It’s well known that our group has been a target for this league since day one. We’ve always been independent, outspoken, and have stuck by our principles… qualities that this league seems eager to relentlessly suppress. Our reward for daring not to be like the majority of the manufactured fanbases and plastic groups of puppets…

The Stanford Atmosphere

No tifo. No flags. No smoke. Not even streamers. Dull, colorless, boring atmosphere. Definitely not our idea for such a big game as the Cali Clasico. Everything is a safety hazard, every single move is micromanaged. Every “violation” brings lengthy bans. Passion, honesty, sacrifice, and loyalty are seen as negative traits in the increasingly corporate…

Our Trip to Reno

Friday 2/8: We headed to Reno to support our team in what most would call a “meaningless” friendly. Despite the weather advisory and the DOT urging people not to drive over the Sierras, we decided to go anyway. It was a 5 to 7-hour drive for those who were lucky enough to take the day…

The 2018 Season

This season has undoubtedly been an absolute disappointment and disgrace. It appears that many of the people working for our club are not familiar with what this organization is about and what it represents. Consequently, this club is rapidly losing its identity. Despite never having been a trophy-winning machine, The Earthquakes have always had a…

Tonight’s Protest

Supporting a team that is consistently one of the worst in the entire league season after season teaches you a lot about patience. You learn to deal with little things like not making the playoffs in years, own goals, idiotic red cards, losing derbies, etc. We will NEVER have patience for a lack of effort,…

The San Jose Ultras have a strict anti-keyboard warrior policy for its membership. We do not condone online banter, arguments, and similar wastes of time with anybody anywhere. The only legitimate comments and information representing our group come from our official social media accounts. Anyone doing otherwise is, without exception, not a member of San…

Open Letter To All Quakes Fans

As we enter the 2017 season, a number of major and minor changes have occurred that amount to an exciting paradigm shift for our club. What will these changes bring? What will be their long-term significance? Where do we fit into all of this? When the Quakes came back home to San Jose in 2008,…
