Coach Talk

Mountaineers
Nice work, Mountaineers. Kudos on deploying a lineup that won by 15 points this past week. Let's keep this momentum going as we roll into what will surely be a tough Week 10 matchup.
Sparkeyz Sportz
Try to take comfort in the fact that your generosity did not go unnoticed, Sparkeyz Sportz. It takes a real kindred spirit to help someone like Mountaineers succeed this week. Who knows, maybe they'll return the favor by taking a couple of defenses early in next year's draft... or something along those lines!
