Coach Talk

CircleTheWagons
Hey CircleTheWagons, the good news is that we took this matchup by more than 39 points. The *even better* news is that we've proven we're stronger than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through 11 weeks was 106.46. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
