Hey Tampa, you got a great coach. Good luck next year-except when you play the Houston XFL team. I live near H-Town, and I can’t wait for our coach to be introduced in the coming weeks! Seat deposits made the same day they could be made. We can’t wait for XFL spring football to begin in Houston in 2020. Let the games begin!!
