Coach Talk

Van Buren Boys
Yo, Van Buren Boys, you put the rest of the league on notice with this dominant effort. Not only did you win by 61+ points, you also climbed from fifth place to third in the league standings!
Dipper
Don't get too distraught, Dipper! The good news is that there's still a lot of football left to be played. Your upcoming opponents may take a peek at your record and foolishly think they've got a cakewalk. Do what Kirk Cousins would after throwing a pick, and go deep on your next opportunity... catch those complacent GMs off-guard!
