Coach Talk

Valyrian Steelers
Deploying a lineup that won by 25 points this past week... we did what we had to do and took care of business. We should maintain this momentum as we head into what should be a winnable Week 5 matchup.
tyler's Team
Listen up, tyler's Team! Trust me on this one (coming from a coach who's experienced life on the hot seat)... You can take comfort knowing that there's always that volunteer Graduate Assistant job available at the community college down the road!
