Coach Talk

Truther Bust
I just can't overstate how critical tight wins like this can be for team chemistry. Persevering through the toughest of times and triumphing in the face of adversity... expect the Truther Bust locker room to really gel riding into Week 4.
Shitty Toe Drop
Don't get too down on yourself, Shitty Toe Drop! There's still a ton of football left to be played. The next few opponents may look at your record and foolishly think they have an easy matchup. You've got them right where you want 'em... deploy your best possible starting lineup and they won't see it coming!
