Coach Talk

Whackers
Kudos to you, Whackers. Good work fielding a starting crew that blew the opposition out by over 53 points this past matchup. We should take this victory in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Soonerjack, and continue on our way towards the OklahomIraqis League NFC title.
Soonerjack
Unless Soonerjack wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many chances" isn't really an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 28 times in Week 8. Chemistry appears to be a problem, as that group managed just 17 receptions.
