Coach Talk

War Pony
Listen War Pony, the good news is that we won this matchup by over 36 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this, as our scoring average through Week 12 stood at 164.81. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
Hooligans
Hey, at least there were no celebration penalties: The eight starting offensive position players on Hooligans (four WRs, three RBs, one TE) combined to register a whopping 482 total yards. Unfortunately, not one of those players could find his way to the end zone in Week 13.
