Coach Talk

Sierra Nevada Giants
Yo, Sierra Nevada Giants, do you consult for SpaceX or something? Along with a 56.51-point victory, you also launched yourself up to third place in the league standings!
Rednecks
Keep your head up, Rednecks! Take my word for it (this is coming from a coach who's frequently lived life on the hot seat)... You can always fall back on that scrappy Graduate Assistant job open at the community college down the road!
