We need to become a more consistent football team. We will review the game film and find ways to improve. We travel to play the rival Durham Bulldogs to finish off the Regular season. We will beat the fleas off those mangy mutts this time around. They got lucky the last time we played. Every dog has their day. We are a superior team and need to go put them in their place at the pound...We'll be ready come game time!"
