Coach Talk

SCLSU Mud Dogs
You know SCLSU Mud Dogs, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped lately, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 135.11 points through Week 11, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outperforming the 122.69 we needed to win this past week!
The Fall-Guys
It's entirely possible that The Fall-Guys might be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating only four targets as a group in Week 12, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
