Garrett Goebel wants to CRUSH THIS BOOM!

These are the words of Garrett Goebel, a highly-touted defensive tackle who will be a freshman at Ohio State this fall:

BPRT: This is your senior year...what goals have you set personally and for your team?

GG: I plan on winning Conference, winning all playoff games, and becoming the Illinois Class 5A Champions!!! Also, developing leadership skills while convincing my teammates that they can perform at a higher level and accomplish team/personal goals IF THEY ARE WILLING TO MAKE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE!!!

Dude. The first five relevant hits for "ultimate sacrifice" in Google: the crucifixion of Jesus, catrato castration, Indian woman climbing on top of husband's funeral pyre, memorial to deceased American soldiers, and... awwww, goddammit, Tim Russert. (No offense to Russert, but... maybe his death was not the equivalent of a pope or something?)

Goebel is clearly AMPED up and likes to WIN. WIN AT YELLING. MORE! After the JUMP! GRRR AAARRGH!
Oh, there's more:

BPRT: When your career is over, how would you like people to remember Garrett Goebel?

GG: I want to be remembered as a leader, someone who gave 100% of his ENERGY every practice, workout and GAME while believing in accomplishing goals that others discounted. Dedicated, yet sincere, honest and humble while giving thanks to GOD to have this opportunity.

And... well...

BPRT: If you were analyzing yourself on film, what would you list as your strengths and what needs some work?

GG: Strengths: Quickness off the ball, strength, aggressiveness, always giving 100% effort until whistle blows.

Weaknesses: Making a play instead of trying to rip my opponents head off [ Emphasis added ]. Discipline and technique.

I know what Garrett Goebel drinks.
