Coach Talk

Splintered
You know, this sport is all about finding the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Sooners at the wide receiver position (31 points to 14).
Sooners
Listen up, Sooners! At the end of the day, only one team's ultimately gonna win this thing... there's a lot to be said for choosing to take the classy route, gracefully congratulating those who do emerge victorious, and start re-strategizing for next season!
