The Greatest Gregism - Finals

And so it comes to this.  What you've all been waiting for.  The final battle to determine once and for all what the Greatest Gregism of All Time is.  Let's not dilly-dally, it's go-time.  Make your vote.  You have until the end of the day on Tuesday, January 6th.

Finalist #1  was uttered on August 11th, 2008 in the heat of summer camp.  Greg was being pressured to spill the beans on who his first-string players were going to be in the upcoming season.  Not a man "about strings and all that," Greg ultimately decided to divert attention from the topic by confusing the hell out of each and every person he was talking to.

"Don't try to figure it out because it isn't figured out yet. That's really what I tell you. It is and it isn't."

It's like a riddle trapped in an enigma wrapped in a quandary.  It's classic Gregismtry.

VERSUS

Finalist #2 needs little introduction.  On August 28th, 2008, Greg was speaking on The Greg Robinson Show (whoda think) about the attitude of his team heading into the season.  What happened next is lore that will be handed down for generations to come:

“It can maybe snowball into something that can catch fire...”

Every single one of you should be trying to work that into your daily discussions every day. 

Cast your vote now, the fate of Gregisms depend on it.

That's it!

That’s why Gerg was such an awful coach. He was just Yogi Berra in disguise!

Yogi Berra

on crack and slightly retarded….

I think I need a t-shirt with an illustration of Greggers trying to set a snowball on fire and with the quote on it!

I used the 'It can maybe snowball...' quote once

to my wife. She told me to stop going ‘full retard’ on her.
Good times…

Ask Sean Penn, 2001, “I Am Sam.” Remember? Went full retard, went home empty handed…
