3rd Degree the Podcast

This week on 3rd Degree the Podcast, your hosts - Peter Welpton, Dan Crooke, and Buzz Carrick - do a live podcast from Peticolas Brewing Company Taproom to celebrate Buzz moving out of town. A live crowd spices it. For FC Dallas, there was a good/bad scrimmage win (over three 45-minute periods) against New York Red Bulls, missing some pieces. A 10-less formation, some poor build, but lots of goals. The Houston and Atlanta games are this week. So what's next? A 10? A DP? One thing for sure, there's an amazing new kit coming. Athletico Dallas has a coach announcement this week. But the name got reported today, so your trio digs into what Peter Luccin might do for the city's newest team. Dallas Trinity's newest signings power the Golden Girls to a huge 4-0 win on the road. Heather Stainbrook was particularly strong. This week, it gets a lot tougher with an undefeated Lexington side. The pod finishes with a celebration of 3rd Degree's moving away founder. Music by Pappy Check.

This episode of 3rd Degree the podcast, is dedicated to Elizabeth Angle. Rest in peace. It's a quiet week in Dallas soccer on this week's episode of 3rd Degree the Podcast. Your hosts - Peter Welpton, Dan Crooke, and Buzz Carrick - break down what they can of the FC Dallas scrimmages, which weren't streamed by the club. Still, some details were put out, and a pirate stream or two may have helped. Even with the opposition being poor, some things were learned. Dallas Trinity has a new coach and gets back after it this weekend. And North Texas SC has started camp. Oh, and FC Dallas loaned Ened Sali out. Thankfully. Music by Pappy Check.

It's back to business on this week's episode of 3rd Degree the Podcast. Your hosts - Peter Welpton, Dan Crooke, and Buzz Carrick - are hyped for the start of FC Dallas training camp. New numbers, preseason games, new player talk (Chucky Lozano and Weston McKennie?), and a new assistant coach. Heck, the transfer window isn't even open yet. Dallas Trinity is back at it, and we hear some moves might be coming, maybe even a new coach. Atlético Dallas partnered with the City of Dallas for its corporate headquarters at Expo Park And North Texas SC signed a 6'7" 16-year-old keeper. Music by Pappy Check.

This week on 3rd Degree the Podcast, your hosts - Peter Welpton and Buzz Carrick (Dan Crooke is out for the Holidays) - try to liven up your pre-New Year void with some local soccer talk! First, it's FC Dallas with a new wing-back on the way, and that signifies a couple of things. Perhaps most of you will want to hear what your hosts know about a playmaker. FCD also made some draft picks, and the duo will tell you what you need to know. Peter sneaks in some kit talk, too. Then it's Dallas Trinity talk as they go into the winter, looking at some changes on the field, and, hopefully, in the stands. And Atletico Dallas bought a reserve team in the UPSL, completing their pathway. That's a great move. Music by Pappy Check.

This week on 3rd Degree the Podcast, your hosts - Peter Welpton and Buzz Carrick - try to get over having to do the podcast without Dan Crooke by dissecting the FC Dallas end-of-season press conference. It's the good, the bad, and the ugly. Much of it on repeat. Yes, 3-5-2; no, new center back, maybe some mids and forwards; "flexibility;" show don't tell; and much, much more. Plus, FCD looks to be adding a U22 central mid. Dallas Trinity got Lexi Missimo back and won. Things are moving in a good direction. And Atletico Dallas is having a Block Party for the fans this weekend. Music by Pappy Check.
