Coach Talk

Devin's Dandy Team
You know Devin's Dandy Team, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped recently, I'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 120.89 points through Week 5, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outproducing the 102.9 we needed for this past week's win!
