Coach Talk

Trey&Clay's Empire
Putting together a lineup that registered over 132 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right. We should maintain this momentum as we move on to what might be a winnable Week 4 matchup.
The Wallerus
Keep your head up, The Wallerus! There really is still a boatload of time remaining to turn this season around. Your next few opponents may take a peek at your record and foolishly think they've got a cakewalk. Lull them into a sense of complacency and hit 'em with your strongest possible lineups... they won't see it coming!
