Coach Talk

Reaper
Hey Reaper, the good news is that we took this matchup by 31 points. Even better news is that we've proven we're better than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through 11 weeks was 268.55. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
WTF Niagara Falls
