Weed identification help!

So I've had these growing in big patches right in my front yard. They grow extremely fast and are driving me nuts! Anyway, I pulled one up and took it to the local nursery. They told me it was quackgrass, and the only cure was to spray it with round-up.

I sprayed it. Everything, killing all the grass along with it. Waited 7-10 days, sprayed it again. Waited another 7-10 days. Sprayed it again. Waited another 7-10 days. Sprayed it again. Waited prob. 2 weeks, and all was dead leaving nice big huge brown patches right in my front yard.

Planted new seed, starter fertilizer, etc. and began watering. 1 week, I had all new grass. 1 week later, these came back again! IS there nothing that can be done? Is this even quackgrass? Pulling it does nothing, as it grows right back. HELP! What do I do to rid my yard of this, or is it basically ruined and nothing that can be done?

I'm getting my soil tested next week to see if that helps.

I'm desperate.
