Coach Talk

LosingMyReligion
You know what, LosingMyReligion, we do appreciate the confidence. It takes a certain kind of guts to roll out not one, not two, but FOUR players with zero points while still earning the W. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we'll be done.
Eggy’s Power
There are plenty of lessons we can take away from the 2021 campaign and apply to next season, Eggy’s Power... it's never too early to begin doing your homework and thinking about how to get better!
