I'm sure others recall more memorable sayings from Coach Kaiser, but one that sticks in my head came during the week of practice before we played Tecumseh my junior year in 1988.
"Big, fat bears are no match for lean, hungry wolves," Kaiser, a hunter, growled repeatedly. By Friday, we were mumbling it in our sleep.
Coach Kaiser was apparently concerned that we might be intimidated by our opponent's size advantage. They were bigger than us but coach successfully got into our heads and I don't recall any of us being too intimidated. The best part, of course, is that we won the game, 26-12.
This week, the Mounties play Tecumseh as they look to start the season 3-0. I have no idea how big Tecumseh is, but I'll take the lean, hungry wolves any day.
