Coach Talk

Florence Troopers
Bravo, Florence Troopers. Nice job deploying a lineup that tallied 126.74 points this past matchup. We should tip our cap to the GM of Texas Wildcats, take this win in stride, and continue our march towards the Yahoo Public 82976 league title.
Texas Wildcats
With just two catches this past week, the starting RBs for Texas Wildcats should investigate why their quarterbacks are giving them the silent treatment.
