Dynamo out to prevent Sounders from clinching playoff berth

While the Seattle Sounders are closing the season strong as they pursue a playoff spot, the playoff-bound Houston Dynamo are struggling. The teams meet Wednesday night in Seattle, with Houston hoping to snap a seven-match winless streak and the Sounders aiming to earn points for the 12th time in 13 matches. With a win over the Dynamo and a Portland Timbers loss or draw on the road against St. Louis City, the Sounders would clinch a playoff berth. Seattle (11-10-10, 43 points) is seventh in the Western Conference, five points behind Houston (13-9-9, 48 points). However, the Sounders are 4-1-7 in their past 12 matches, while the fifth-place Dynamo are 0-2-5 in their past seven. Seattle coach Brian Schmetzer said a busy schedule complicates the race to the end of the season. "It's not ideal," he said of playing three games in eight days. "I gotta take this week and try and make sure I do a…

Texas early voting rate is slightly behind 2018, when Beto O’Rourke challenged Ted Cruz

by Zach Leggio and Dan Keemahill, The Texas Tribune October 27, 2026 Nearly 4.5 million Texans cast a ballot in the first seven days of early voting — outpacing the turnout rate of the 2022 midterm election but slightly behind 2018, when Democrat Beto O’Rourke fell 2.6 points shy of toppling U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz. From Oct. 19 through Sunday, 23.4% of registered Texas voters had cast a ballot or voted by mail, according to data from the Texas secretary of state. In 2018, the turnout was 24.3% in the first seven days of early voting. Derek Ryan, a Republican consultant and data analyst, expects the pace of early voting to increase this week, leading to a busy day at the polls on Friday, when the early voting period closes. Election Day is Nov. 3. “We could see anywhere between maybe 20 to 30% of the votes that get cast in this election get cast on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday this week,”…

The Next Two Weeks Will Define Houston's Football Season

The No. 18 Houston Cougars now face some major questions. The Cougars were unable to hang on to a 10-0 lead against the No. 6 Utah Utes, are currently 6-2, and have taken a tumble in the rankings. That was the second time this season that Houston blew a lead of such proportion. And that's also why these next two weeks will define how this 2026 season will go. The Cougars took a 10-0 lead over the then No. 13 Texas Tech Red Raiders before losing 28-26. It was a disappointing way to lose their first game, as they had dominated the first quarter. Houston took a 3-0 lead into halftime against Utah and even added a touchdown to begin the third quarter to take a 10-0 lead. The Utes rallied and went on to outscore the Cougars 21-3 for the rest of the game. After an ugly fourth quarter for the Cougar offense, Houston was handed another disappointing loss. Utah QB Devon Dampier scrambles against…
