Totally deadpan too (and we were counting nipple hairs)
my favorite of the thread so far...
Bowerman:
"There is no such thing as bad weather, just soft people."
"Take it easy today keep at a (fast pace)"
"Don't go out in the beginning of this race and try to be superman, superman's a comic book character." This was said before we won districts, afterwords one of our runners quoted it in the newspaper.
After finishing 9 out of 10 hard Quarters, Coach says
"Hey good job, you're done. Anybody can do just one more"
"If you want to go sliding around the locker room bare-assed, don't come crying to me when you get Athlete's Crack"

From my university coach
All said with a Polish Accent
"On the MENU for today, 5 times a mile, and I want it WELL DONE, he he he"
"Last time I said it was going to be a battle, this is bigger than that. It's an intergalactic battle, or a Star Wars"
This wouldn't be a gem from one Marek "the scrambling Polak" Jedzarek, would it? And I realize his name is probably spelled wrong, but I don't care.
"It may taste salty, but you will come to love it!"
"Check your pants"
"You're either a slapdick or a banger!"
Dave Walker at ETSU had so many one liners we made a David Letterman top 10 t-shirt...
the good old 'can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit' was on it.
I can't remember them all, but some others:
Walker went out of town & some guys did not run as much as they should have;it showed, so he said:
"What did ya do while I was gone, look in the mirrior & tell yourself how good you are".
ETSU had a good distance tradition & we had a guy die in a 10,000 & start running slow laps....Walker kept/wrote every split always. As the spilits got slower Walker became more disturbed & finally the kid ran one in OVER 1:40...Walker said:
"How the hell do I write this? Is it 100 seconds or a minute 40...what do I record?
others:
"Never up, never in" (good for both races & life)
when we were slow in practice(mens team):
"Let's go ladies, they don't make races that slow"
"Any runner worth his salt can do quarters"
Just a few, but there were so many more

Coach talking about one of the team's alums:
"Some days, he ran like an All-American. Other days, he ran like a plumber."
"I need you to do a special favor for me...and do not tell your mother."
"I banged Vicki Huber, et. el"
[real quote--good leadership for a bunch of freshman in college to follow, eh?]
correction: et al.
"Between you and me it's between me and you but me and you it's between you"
...still don't know what it means
