Being a "Dirt Dog"

Are you a dirt dog? That's a compliment of the highest order.

From ChatGPT: 

"Dirt dog" is a term that can have different meanings depending on the context:

  1. Baseball Term: In baseball slang, a "dirt dog" refers to a player who is gritty, hardworking, and gives maximum effort on the field, often getting dirty (hence "dirt dog") by diving for balls, sliding into bases, etc. It's a term of admiration for players who hustle and play with intense determination.

  2. Racing Term: In motorsports, particularly off-road racing like motocross or dirt biking, a "dirt dog" can refer to a competitor who excels on dirt tracks or in rough terrain.

  3. General Slang: Outside of specific contexts like sports, "dirt dog" can be used informally to describe someone who is tough, resilient, or willing to get their hands dirty (literally or metaphorically) to get things done.

The exact meaning depends on where and how the term is used, but it generally conveys a sense of toughness, determination, and willingness to work hard

The 'dirt dog' goes above and beyond. She has the skill and will to do the "dirty jobs" that coaches need done. 

If we ask Coach Scott Celli who are the MVB 'dirt dogs' I bet the same names come up.
