Coach Talk

Doughboys
Hey Doughboys, the good news is that we took this matchup by a staggering 30.5 points. The *even better* news is that we've proven we're better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through Week 10 stood at 153.98. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
War Pony
Here's a list of scenarios where it's somewhat excusable to go 0-for-2 in sports: A hitter's line in baseball, a pair of DeAndre Jordan free throws, and a double-fault in tennis. That's just about it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Tyler Bass might have just kicked himself to the waiver wire following this performance.
