Being one of the oldest players on the team, Albert Ruschmann has seen many rookie classes join the Yeti. He always likes to welcome them and make sure they feel like they are really part of the team. How he does this, however, varies by rookie. This season, the Yeti drafted cornerback Graham Harper in the first round. Being the most veteran defensive back on the roster and also a cornerback, Ruschmann felt it appropriate to take Harper in under his wing. Ruschmann was more than happy to impart some defensive knowledge and wisdom to Harper, but the true bonding experience came when Ruschmann pranked him.
Every morning before practice, Harper would have a nice cup of black coffee, nothing added. Ruschmann saw a golden opportunity to replace Harper's coffee with a cup of dirt. While the prank wouldn't last very long before Harper realized what had happened, the payoff would be worth it. Sure enough, the next morning Harper takes one "sip" and gets the dirt all over his face. Ruschmann howled with laughter and then was promptly assigned laps in practice.
