Coach Talk

So.Cal Surfer Dudes
You know what, So.Cal Surfer Dudes, we do respect the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Ronald Jones II), while still getting the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists.
Grapevine Gunslinger
Tis the season, Grapevine Gunslinger! We hope the GM of So.Cal Surfer Dudes will write a thank-you card for the generous 262.35-point gift this past week.
