Coach Talk

Bad Boy
You know Bad Boy, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's declined a bit lately, we'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 507.89 points through Week 8, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outproducing the 439.71 we needed for this past week's win!
Mike Honcho '18
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's acceptable to go 0-for-2: A double-fault in tennis, a hitter's line in baseball, and a pair of Shaquille O'Neal free throws. That's just about it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Mason Crosby might be kicking himself back into the free agent pool after this performance.
