Coach Talk

Mudbugz
Whoa, Mudbugz, you put the rest of the league on notice with this performance. Not only did you win by 46.68 points, you also climbed a staggering three spots in the league standings!
G men
There really is still a boatload of time left to turn this season around. Your next few opponents may take a peek at the win-loss record and foolishly think they have a cakewalk. Do what Mason Crosby would do in this scenario and put your best foot forward... catch those complacent GMs off-guard! Keep pushing forward, G men!
