Coach Talk

THUNDER N LIGHTNING
Hey, the key to football is creating and exploiting the mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by soundly outplaying Cowboy Dave at the wide receiver position (54.2 points to 21.3).
Cowboy Dave
Don't beat yourself up too badly, Cowboy Dave! Trust me here (this is coming from a coach who's practically never NOT been on the hot seat)... You can always fall back on that volunteer Graduate Assistant job available at the community college down the road!
