All-Pac-10

All-Pac-10 refers to a group of American football (not soccer) teams that are tough and competitive. In this sentence it praises his strength and ability on the football field. "Bone-jarring" means he hit (tackled the opponent) hard enough to shake his bones... To jar, here, is to bump or hit.

A lot of things -- he was capable, talented, in many areas. He could not only act from strength, as he did on the football field, he was also attractive, honest, straightforward with people -- in other words, many-faceted.

A bead or stone (or anything, for that matter) that glows in darkness is called luminescent, or sometimes fluorescent. You'd say, My sister has a necklace of luminescent beads. Or, The colors on that poster are fluorescent. As I think about it, luminescence is used more for gentle glowing, while fluorescent brings to mind a neon-type brightness...

Hi Wy, Thanks for reply.

But still I could not figure out what does "Pac" in the "All-Pac-10" mean, and what does 10 mean here?

Here bead isn't pearl, see the pic below, can we call it "luminescent stone"?

oristarA,

I believe the "Pac" is "Pacific" as in the "Pacific 10" conference. I'm not into college ball, but it sounds like it's 10 teams in the Pacific region.

Thanks Craven, that is more like it now.

Craven's right (as usual...) about Pac-10... and yes, you could call it a luminescent stone, or a luminescent orb (meaning a spherical object). "Luminescent" can describe any object which glows.

A cure all has been found!
Thanks Wy.
