Tonight, the struggling Dynamo host the schizophrenic former Burn in a Texas State battle for steer-sized bragging rights.

It’s as big a game as you can get this early in the year.

At the helm for Dallas is interim coach Marco Ferruzzi, who notched a win in his first game as head manager last week. Ferruzzi has been with Dallas for years and has been embraced by his players in Steve Morrow’s absence.
