All time Benson Era Quotes

[fmrhoya]

Although the primary focus of the program is winning football games, I think we can all agree that there have been some pretty great moments off the field in the Benson era as well. A recollection of some of the better one liners either spoken by or to Coach or his staff.

1. "Keep hanging around the barber shop and eventually you'll get a haircut"

2. "EDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!"

3. "Well basically there is no deal, we're going to Mardi Gras"

4. "1.78 Sir"

5. "I'm going on that bus in a EDITED warmup"

6. "342-0100 fatboy"

7. EDITED

8. "They leave the cantaloupes on the porch"

9. "Bring your rubber suits.....ssssss,sssssss"

10. "MCCOY"

11. "You becomin a man today"

12. "That George Washington was a EDITED wasant he?"

Anyone bored at the first day back at work can try and match the owner of such phrases. Other memorable suggestions are welcome

In all seriousness Coach gave a great effort and guided the program to its current level. Hopefully his football career will continue somewhere and he gets another shot to be a head man.


Moderator's note: I think we all know that most, if not all, football coaches are prone to pretty salty language - there is no need to repeat it here.

there is one thing that bob stressed about sideline organization that has always stuck with me and can be applied to all facets of life. "That box is the most important thing to me. Stay out of my box."

I think my favorite Benson lines have to be:

1. "Why don't you just bend me over and shove this desk right up my a$$!!!!" - Coach Benson in response to being told that my roomate and I had been arrested for breaking into this girl's apartment to eat leftovers out of her refrigerator. Ironically, that girl would later become the ex-Mrs. Benson.

2. "Jesus [player name deleted]! What do I need to do to get through to you, light up a joint on the field!!!!

3. Jesus Hermo! What the @#$#!

4. You know what happens when you feed a cat Hermo? It keeps comin back. Don't feed the cat Hermo.

"You know, [FormerHoya], if you ever took a shower and a shave, maybe you'd get some [term that could also mean a cat] to look at you"

-said after waking FormerHoya from a deep sleep at a 6:00 am meeting.

[hoya71]

"Those first 4 touchdowns didn't bother me, now that last touchdown that bothered me." - After Fordham scored near the end of the half to go up 35-0

"Any place that you have to cross two bridges to get to is not a place I want to go" - How he felt on an upcoming trip to Long Island to play St John's

"Pogo, what size shirt do you wear?"

"Extra Large, coach."

"Do you own any that size?"

-on seeing Pogo in yet another skintight tee

80's music blaring from the cage during summer camp was always a fav of mine.

the look on his face when komo arrived to a morning meeting in his essay costume.

"check change", anything regarding a "deal", and "two steps" were used often.

Marshall? here
McArdle? here
Andy? McCoy!!

"[3706R], I know your type, you don't fool me. [3706R] I can read your a$$ like a book....and it is a cheap and trashy novel!"

Watching Tape on Monday:

Defense 15 play drive, punt. Great Job D.

Offense: Scores in 5 plays. DEVASTATING, need to take more time off of the clock O.

Definatley some great ones, the mardi gras meeting was an all time classic

Komo's costume the morning after halloween at the 7 am meeting was great, you could see the steam coming out of bob's ears

Thunderstruck blaring from the cage at 5 am in mid august when benson is on his 6th cup of coffee is still etched in my mind.

Other terms like Hurt Locker, accountability, take this challenge, deals, and endless metaphors of sodomy are all classic.

How did I forget my all-time favorite:

"He [name random offensive player from Iona or Sienna] has a bit of a slit problem."

[merc]

Be a Thumb guy, not a Finger guy.

[MrB]

"come on big cat"

oh wait that was bres

[fmrhoya]

If I have correctly assumed the identity of MrB, some of his all time one liners have to be........

#54 is the michael linebacker

In response to Sgarlata's "Ok guys we need a C call"........."Clifford"

For it to be Bres you'd have to repeat it 5-7 more times.

One of my favorites came from Halloran...

"Lenehan...are you retahhhhted!?!?!" His Boston accent is the thing legends are made of. He easily could have run with the tough guys of Southie in "Good Will Hunting".

[merc]

Bres: "Does that make sense? Does that make sense? Does that make sense? Does that make sense?"

[MrB]

dont forget to watch for counters and boots during counter-boot sessions.

check-change

[wedge]

"That's like pi$$ing on my back and telling me it's raining!!"

[25]

On the D's lackluster recognition of Offensive alignment: "you Editedin guys are supposed to be society's elite!! Bunch of nerds comin' to Georgetown, smartest kids in the country my ass.. you can't get one damn call right. I understand this stuff and I couldn't've gotten into this school with a Editedin' GUN!"

Questioning someone's tardiness for an afternoon team meeting: "let me guess, time got away from you, huh? sittin up in old Village C, eatin potato chips, staring out the window listening to the Eagles? Am I right? crankin up the old Eagles to 9 without a care in the world? Tequila Sunrise, baby. crank it up and rip the knob off! am I right?"

At a D meeting watching film from the last game we'd played against an upcoming opponent, explaining to the new guys how one sub-par play affected his personal life.. "now, for you freshmen, have a good look.. this is the play that, basically, cost me my first marriage."
