Coach Talk

Giant Chickens
Putting together a starting crew that tallied over 192 points this past week... we did what we had to do and took care of business.
Da Bears
Listen, we've been at it long enough to know that sometimes free points just seem to miraculously show up out of nowhere. Then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Well, okay; perhaps asking for an extra 29 points is a bit excessive. Keep pushing forward, Da Bears!
