Coach Talk

GreatPlainsDrifters
Whoa, GreatPlainsDrifters, you put the rest of the league on notice with this blowout. In addition to a 37.5-point victory, you also jumped up two places in the league standings... squarely into the thick of postseason contention
Orange bloods
You can feel good knowing that your generosity did not go unnoticed. It takes a real kindred spirit to help someone like GreatPlainsDrifters succeed this week... and maybe one day, they can return the favor by choosing a couple of kickers early in next year's draft (something like that). Just like the NFL's tackling rules, remember to keep your head up, Orange bloods!
