Coach Talk

The Stevie’s
Assembling a starting crew that recorded 139.75 points this past week... we did what we needed to do and took care of business. Let's tip our cap to the GM of LET’S RIDE, take this win in stride, and continue our march towards the The Thunderdome league championship.
LET’S RIDE
Look, LET’S RIDE, we've been in this business long enough to know that sometimes points can just magically appear out of the blue. Then sometimes (*cough cough*, Week 1) they don't! You know, now that I think about it... asking for an extra 17 points might be a bit overzealous.
