Coach Talk

Kupps cup
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Kupps cup. Deploying a starter with zero points (Ronald Jones II), while still getting a win... that's playing with fire. We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we'll be finished.
Start the Carr
Listen, I've been at it long enough to know that sometimes free points just seem to miraculously appear out of the blue. Then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Well, hmmm, alright; hoping for an additional 65 points may be a bit overzealous. Keep your head up, Start the Carr!
