Coach Talk

Deacon Blues
Hey, we admire the confidence, Deacon Blues. Deploying a starter with zero points (Mike Gesicki), while still getting the W... that's playing with fire. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we'll be done.
The Weasels
Look, we've been in this business long enough to know that occasionally, seven extra points can just randomly appear out of the blue... and then sometimes, like in your matchup this week, they don't! In the grand scheme of things, the most important thing is that you gave it your best shot. Keep your head up, The Weasels!
