Coach Talk

El Chupacabras
Listen El Chupacabras, the good news is that we won this matchup by more than five points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through eight weeks was 92.31. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
The Mad Scientist
Listen, we've been at it long enough to know that occasionally, six extra points can just magically appear out of the blue... and then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Keep pushing forward and good things will eventually happen. Keep your head held high, The Mad Scientist!
