Bunky's Raw Dogs
Listen up, Bunky's Raw Dogs! The good news is that there's still a ton of time left to turn this season around. The next few opponents could glance at the win-loss record and foolishly think they have a cakewalk. Use that to your advantage and deploy the best possible starting lineups... catch those complacent GMs off-guard!
