A quick chuckle for those of us in preps...

Hey, you already knew I was dmbu.

 

Well, now we have to have SportsJournalists.com Awards for the year.

 

I actually have had several coaches tell me flat out, "We're just not very good right now," during losing streaks. For football preview stories I've sometimes thrown out the, "What would be a good year?" question and gotten the coach to bite and say four or five wins (usually when it's obvious to anyone they won't be very good).
Of course, like they say, everyone is 0-0 at the start of the year and everybody has optimism until opening night.

 

Grrrrrr.

 

Oh, I always ask "what would you consider a good year?"

But, just once, I've love to have a coach say, on the record: "We're just not very talented this year." The closest I've ever got (well, actually, a co-worker) was a HS football coach: "You can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit."

 

With two Es? I've never seen it that way.

But I do know a Meghan, which you left out.

 

One of my co-workers once got a baseball coach to say, on the record, "You can't win the Kentucky Derby with a bunch of mules."
I heard the coach got a good talking-to from his superiors for that.

 

Ill raise you a Mehgan.

 

I'll raise both of you a Meighan.

 

I bet. Political correctness has been the death-knell for classicly funny quotes.
