This week on 3rd Degree the Podcast, your hosts - Peter Welpton, Dan Crooke, and Buzz Carrick - kick off a home win podcast breaking down the end of the Peter Vermes era game against Sporting KC.  Norris started, Acosta joined the 75/75 club, Oz excelled, Chu disappointed, and FCD bunkered. And won!

Dallas Trinity played and tried to make Buzz puke, North Texas SC blew a 3-1 lead, and Texoma FC couldn't get their first win. Plus - and this will amaze you - there was more kit talk and this time it involved oranges.

Any road win is a good win, and this week on 3rd Degree the Podcast, your hosts - Peter Welpton, Dan Crooke, and Buzz Carrick - have a good old road win to talk about. Yes, a red card and a physical game where there could have been a few more. Everyone played pretty well, but that happens when a team is a man-up. Still, there are plenty of takeaways to ponder. And the red hat was back. Sporting KC is next, will Anderson Julio be available?

Plus Trinity stomped Brooklyn, again. North Texas SC got wrecked. Texoma had a nice crowd for their league opener but didn't get the result.

This week on 3rd Degree the Podcast, it's moving day!  Your hosts - Peter Welpton, Dan Crooke, and Buzz Carrick have moved the pod to Tuesday. And what a fun Tuesday it is as FC Dallas remains undefeated with 4 points in two road games. Moose and Squirrel up top are looking good, the great and powerful Oz continues to deliver, Lletget remains too legit, and even Pedrinho shined. Ramiro on the other hand, is getting bypassed.  Now it's time for the home opener and the Brimstone Cup against the Chicago Fire.

Plus, Buzz has some USL news you won't want to miss, Dallas Trinity takes on the team atop the USL Super League standing - Brooklyn FC,  North Texas SC has their season opener, and there is another... yes another... new club in town Central Dallas FC.

This week on 3rd Degree the Podcast, your hosts - Peter Welpton, Dan Crooke, and Buzz Carrick - didn't have a preseason game to digest but there was still plenty to talk about. Enes Sali got loaned as the most recent clear-the-deck move but where are the replacements? Where is the CB1? Or 4 or 5? Where is a left back. How about a replacement DP 10? U22s?  Are we really looking at a budget reduction of a season? What about the Evander/Acosta chase? 

Plus updates on Ramiro and Show, "Things That Bug Me" by Buzz, Texoma dropped a banger kit, North Texas signed a Luccin, the Chupacabras have a coach, and three FCD Academy kids are at the Concacaf Qualifiers.
