Coach Talk

iCuRaRook
Listen, iCuRaRook, we do admire the confidence. Rolling out not one, not two, but THREE players with zero points (Nick Scott, David Bada, and Damien Harris), while still getting the win... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
BuckeyeBall
Registering one catch on just two measly targets this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for BuckeyeBall obviously should look into why their quarterbacks are giving them the silent treatment.
