Hey, do you remember way back to two weeks ago when the latest member of the -ist family came on board and SFist Eve said we couldn't think of a reason to hate on them yet? Well, now we have one -- the San Jose Earthquakes soccer team has announced that they're decamping to Houston.

MLS was reportedly unhappy with the persistent low attendance numbers at Spartan Stadium, and after San Jose was unable to reach an agreement to build them a new stadium downtown, and despite a rally of their faithful fans, the team decided to flee. Houston will make an official announcement tomorrow at 10 a.m. central time.

We know, we know, it's our fault for tempting the Houston gods! We're sorry, Bay Area soccer fans! Funnily enough, the same week SFist Eve called down the vengeance of Houston on our fair -ist region, SFist and Truthmaker Chris also posted about strange trends in migrating team names. Perhaps taking a note from this, San Jose has at least managed to keep ownership of the "Earthquakes" name. Because .... the Houston Earthquakes? Is there a fault in Texas that no one's told us about? San Jose says they'll bring soccer back as soon as they can find a new sponsor.
