Coach Talk

Voodoo Mama Juju
Kudos on assembling a lineup that accounted for over 92 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Sesquipedantic Squad, take this victory in stride, and continue our march towards the Hiawatha Elite League championship.
Sesquipedantic Squad
Look, Sesquipedantic Squad, we've been in this business long enough to realize that sometimes 10 extra points can just miraculously come out of nowhere... and then in some cases, like this week, they don't! The coaching staff here is proud of you, the most important thing here is that you tried.
