Coach Talk

Da Purps
Well Da Purps, the good news is that we won this matchup by over seven points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through three weeks was 139.07. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
