Coach Talk

Tigers
Putting together a lineup that produced almost 192 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done. Let's maintain this momentum as we move on to our next matchup in Week 2.
Free Ballin’
Just one make on three field goal attempts? Sounds like Zane Gonzalez may have just toe-bashed himself to the waiver wire following that sort of performance.
