Coach Talk

HURTS so Good
You know what, HURTS so Good, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Hunter Henry), while still getting a W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against DIRTY RIDERS and see what happens.
MAC's Lame Team
Posting a pair of receptions on just three measly targets this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for MAC's Lame Team should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more often.
