Coach Talk

Touch of Downs
Well done, Touch of Downs. Assembling a starting crew that won by a whopping 83.62 points this past week. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Sugar Nights, take this W in stride, and continue pushing forward to the Skunk League championship.
Sugar Nights
Your starting QB tossed three interceptions and just a single touchdown? We might need to go back and review the game tape. Were the 49ers truly that strong defending the pass, or was Jameis Winston just that out-of-sync with his receivers? What do you think, Sugar Nights... should we continue rolling with him?
