Coach Talk

Eric's Expert Team
Nice work living up to the squad nickname! With 147.94 points scored this past week, the GM for Eric's Expert Team assembled a starting lineup that was certainly far from amateur.
Warrior 13
Sam Darnold threw one interception and not a single touchdown? It may be that spooky time of year, but that type of showing is just a little too ghoulish for our liking.
