Sunday, the Houston Dynamo are on the road looking to take down in state rival FC Dallas in the Texas Derby. On the line is not just bragging rights in the state of Texas, but also El Capitan, a replica 18th century mountain howitzer cannon. Last year Houston broke a three year losing streak to finally reclaim El Capitan and free it from its purgatory in Frisco.
Houston may have a hard time keeping hold of the cannon for two years in a row. This year’s Texas Derby will take place twice on Dallas’ home turf and once in Houston.
