Coach Talk

Junior Seauicide
Deploying a lineup that posted 127.72 points this past week... we did what we had to do and took care of business. We should keep this momentum rolling as we head into our next challenge in Week 9.
Green Bowl Packers
Look, Green Bowl Packers, we've been in this industry long enough to realize that sometimes points can just miraculously appear out of the blue. Then sometimes, like in your matchup this week, they don't! Okay, okay... asking for an extra 16 points may be a bit overzealous.
