T-shirt slogans are run-ons

I don't really understand why this is exactly, but those who dwell in the cross country universe seem to have a hidden talent for unearthing the world's dumbest slogans and slapping them on the back of T-shirts.
To wit: "All it takes is all ya got."
"Our sport is your sport's punishment."
And my personal favorite: "Running cross country -- that's my final answer."
Rumor has it that two other ideas were considered -- "Running cross country -- Where's the beef?" and "Running cross country -- We keep going and going and going ..." -- but the designers didn't want to resort to using fad slogans.
The Jackson-Milton cross country team gets the award for best shirt of the year: "Anyone can run 100 meters, "it" the next 4900 that count."
And "it" a different company that will make the Bluejays' shirts next year.
Other random thoughts as the fall season comes to a close ...
Why is it that Poland can get a new press box, a nice scoreboard and automatic flush toilets, but can't spring for hashmarks?
Mr. cliche: Speaking of Poland, we love Bulldog football coach Paul Hulea, but he could stand to cut back on a clich & eacute; or two. When asked about the key to beating Howland earlier this year, he said: "Well, we scored more points than they did."
Sheesh.
If we used European lingo, the Mooney football team had a great season.
How can anyone in good conscience charge $1 for hot chocolate? I realize that concession stands are budding bastions of capitalism, but it still irks me. And I still pay it.
Since Massillon has absolutely no chance of winning a state football championship, why not just let quarterback Justin Zwick come to Columbus a few months early?
I think the Maplewood boys cross country team will win the state championship. Or McDonald. Or Maplewood. Or ...
The Cavs released Reggie Slater last week. In case you don't know who that is, let me help: The Cavs are a professional basketball team in Cleveland.
Season's scariest Halloween costume: Steve Bellisari uniform.
There's a running debate going over which area volleyball player is better: Hubbard's Katy Jo Mroski or Girard's Tealle Hunkus. We say they're both pretty darn good. (So are their teams.)
Diamondbacks in four. Oh wait, they lost. How about this: Diamondbacks in five.
Ursuline is the best 3-7 I've ever seen. In any sport. Ever.
Sideline star: Yes, Melissa Stark of Monday Night Football fame is a babe, but she's also a very competent sideline reporter, which is more than we can say for Eric "I add nothing to this telecast except incoherence" Dickerson. And yes, Melissa Stark is a babe. (Sorry, it's worth saying twice.)
Another name for hockey highlights on SportsCenter: bathroom breaks.
For what it's worth, last week's Champion/JFK girls soccer game was the best soccer game I've ever seen. I realize that earlier I wrote that I don't like soccer. I still don't -- mainly because two overtimes and a shootout don't make up for watching nobody score for 80 minutes. (But it was still a darn good game.)
First prize in charity raffle: two tickets to a Cavs game. Second prize: four tickets to a Cavs game.
I don't know if the Fitch volleyball team can win the state championship. (Frankly, I sometimes wonder if the bleacher I'm sitting on knows more about the intricacies of volleyball than I do.) But I love that the Falcons say they can win it.
Browns 56, Bears 0. In the first quarter. And don't tell me that something will inevitably go wrong in Cleveland just because that happened last year. And the year before. And the year before
