I wonder how the whole affiliation process came about. There's a Houston FC team here playing in that league as well.
Dynamo want to start a team but want to find somebody else to do it on their nickel - typical front office and ownership being cheap like RGV. Which is how it ends up that the Houston PDL team is owned by somebody else and our players have to go to college station to play
Just seems so off, but in my little experience in having friends play in that league, there's a lot of politics and favorites played. God only knows who rubbed who the wrong way. My pessimism points to Canetti and company. Given all the players we have in a city of 4.5 million (That they know about), they always seem to go wayyyy elsewhere whether it be College Station, Rochester or RGV. If I remember correctly it was good networking in Houston's lower leagues that got us Stu Holden .

The 4th spot is a wildcard. Brazos Valley has only 3 games left with two of them this week. They still have a shot at the playoffs but they probably need to beat Mississippi on Saturday. The Cavalry need to catch Mississippi in this division and then beat out the 3rd place team from the Southeast Division. Lakeland Tropics is in 3rd at the moment and has a game in hand on the Mid-South teams.
Ouch! Brazos Valley scored 4 but gave up 5 at Cleburne. http://www.uslpdl.com/game/show/16863317?subseason=376352 BVC can still make the playoffs but they need to win out.
