Coach Talk

SCLSU MudDogs
Listen, SCLSU MudDogs, we do certainly admire the confidence. Starting not one, not two, but SEVEN players with zero points while still getting the W... that's playing with fire. We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be done.
shakia's Team
Yo, shakia's Team, what did your receivers do to get written out of their teams' game plans this week? Seeing just 14 targets as a group this past week, our six wide receivers clearly got on the bad side of their respective QBs.
