Coach Talk

Runnin Gunmen
Hey Runnin Gunmen, the good news is that we took this matchup by over 16 points. Even better news is that we know we're stronger than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through 12 weeks was 161.31. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
