What’s in a Name

There is one college football program against which I always root.
The coach of that team has an interesting name.
Not that his name is particularly unique – rather, each name sounds like another noun.
I’m going to have some fun with that today.
First off, here is a picture of a gymnasium:
And here is a train trestle:
Put them together, and you get this:
Gym Trestle!
It’s how they used to support the gym roof back in the days before modern construction techniques.
So how many combinations can we get between Jim and Gym and Tressel and Trestle?
Okay, that last one was a bonus item. And I have one more item.
A trestle is, of course, a support structure – a type of bridge. It is not as popular as it used to be, due to advances in materials and bridge design.
These days, one of the more popular bridge designs is the suspension bridge.
I hear they’re not too popular in Ohio. The bridges, that is.
He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper,But he who confesses and forsakes them will find compassion.
