Coach Talk

Cash Daddy
Good work deploying a starting crew that netted almost 1,014 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we had to do. Let's maintain this momentum as we move on to our Week 2 matchup.
Dark Helmet 0-1
Keep your chin up, Dark Helmet 0-1! Trust me here (this is coming from a coach who's frequently lived life on the hot seat)... You can always fall back on that volunteer Graduate Assistant gig available at the community college down the road!
