I’ve been rewatching the NCAA sessions on DVR (except Second Round which got erased ) and finally found the meaning to Positive Infinity - and it’s probably more ridiculous-sounding in print than it is to hear it live. The following happens about 3 minutes into the medal round:
Joey (Mr. Lifetime Buckeye) McKenna:
“It’s the only place Ohio State Wrestling is going this year. It’s got a multitude of meanings but, really, it is what you want it to be and in our minds it’s the only place we’re going.”
Okay, fair enough. Joey Mac went to Stanford and probably read Hegel so he’s used to high-minded tautologies. But here’s his lunkhead of a coach:
Tom Ryan:
“Positive Infinity means for our wrestlers anything that has to do with being positive and not negative.”
Okay, he must have read a similar thought in a small town weekly or at a self-help seminar, but he goes way deeper:
“it means enjoying every moment of the journey, it means simply - ‘hey, that was a funny joke’. It means I enjoyed my time with you. Positive Infinity is, uh, not negative - it’s anything that’s positive.” (commence to awkwardly smile)
Hahahaha - what a deep thinker.
