Go Big Orange

Seen the inaugural MLS soccer game with the Houston Dynamo beating the Colorado Somethings 5-2 this weekend. What a game. Three headers for a goal, and the game ended on a bicycle kick for a goal. That's the baseball equivalent of Lance Berkman batting backwards and hitting one out. Brian Ching (Ca-Ching!) scored 4 goals, one short of a record. And the best part???? The official colors of the new Houston Dynamos are Black, White and Tennessee Vol Orange. My whole family was able to Orange out for the game.

The Fan Club for the Dynamos are called the Texians and they wave Orange flags that look very similar to the orange checkerboard flags I see at HoundDogs. Everything about them screamed UT Alumni. I think they just grabbed the most rabid, half lit Tennesseans to be Texians. Just like the original 1836 Texians I suppose.

The kids especially liked the confetti canon that fired with every goal. They "collected" confetti and I now have confetti wars at the house. Great Opener Dynamos!!!!
