why no texas teams? i would think that with the success and support the dynamo have in houston that they would try to put one there, or in dallas since they have a stadium they could share with the men's team.

Kelly Wilson is the one who went to high school with Roy Williams, right?

I remember reading about her a long time ago. Good luck to all the ladies.

I think they are also making a hugh mistake in not having any teams along our Southern Border in such cities as El Paso and Laredo. Soccer is very popular in those cities and I bet they would have lots of people attend. I remember thinking that when we had a league a few years ago and our ladies were playing in practically empty stadiums.

Full schedule (including TV listing) is out:The Link

Fox Soccer Channel will show 1 game a week (on Sun), and quite a lot of them (more than half) feature at least one of the teams that claimed an ex-Longhorn.
