Coach Talk

Irishpride375
Props to you, Irishpride375. Good work deploying a lineup that earned almost 210 points this past matchup. We should tip our cap to the GM of Sissy, take this victory in stride, and continue our march towards the BIG TEN league title.
Sissy
Only one make on three field goal tries? Seems like Adam Vinatieri might be kicking himself to the waiver wire after this effort.
