Welcome to Orange Talk, a Bayou City Soccer Podcast segment! In this episode, we sit down with Jeremy Hurdle to preview the 2026 season for Houston Dynamo 2. He discusses stepping into the interim head coach role, balancing development with winning, and integrating new SuperDraft and international additions — including players from Red Bull Bragantino and Fluminense FC. We also touch on the club’s local pathway, rising young talent, and what fans can expect in the home opener against Colorado Rapids 2 — and throughout the 2026 campaign.

Welcome to Orange Talk, a Bayou City Soccer Podcast segment! In this episode, we catch up with Duane Holmes to reflect on the emotions of his Houston home opener against Chicago — from the early adrenaline and a quick yellow card to adjusting in a role fans may not be used to seeing him in. Holmes shares how he settled into the match, felt the game shift in his favor, and managed heavy minutes after a delayed start last season, including those exhausting final stretches. We also explore the human side of stepping into a role previously held by fan favorite Griffin Dorsey — the pressure, the expectations, and the stylistic differences he brings to the pitch. Finally, Holmes dives into what it was like playing in front of the home crowd at Shell Energy Stadium, the energy from the stands, and whether he feeds off that noise or blocks it out.
