Kirk's Team
A big key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches.

Loopy Dingo's
Keep your chin up, Loopy Dingo's! Take my word for it (coming from a coach who's frequently lived life on the hot seat)... You can take comfort knowing that there's always that volunteer Assistant Coaching job available at the local high school down the road!
