This week on 3rd Degree the Podcast, your hosts - Peter Welpton, Dan Crooke, and Buzz Carrick - enjoy the best FC Dallas performance of the season with the complete two-way win over Austin FC. Petar Musa, Logan Farrington, Bernie Kaumungo, Christian Cappis, and the whole collective defense played well. Heck, seemed like not a single player performed poorly. Now it's a massive game against the Rapids. Will Coach Quill change anything? What about the keeper?

Dallas Trinity fell on the road but remains in 1st place. North Texas SC dropped some points and sits outside the playoffs. Atletico Dallas added to their ownership. And a couple of local teams advanced in the 2026 US Open Cup.

And lastly, Buzz talked to Texoma FC owner Ben Watson for the latest on the strange happenings up north of town.
