“Don’t eat the cheese,” is one of the most notable phrases in sports, meaning for the teams to not let successes go to their heads.
UTSA coach Jeff Traylor took this phrase literally when trying to motivate the team this week. After the team started on a rough note going 1–3, the Roadrunners have won their last three games to move to 4–3.
Traylor wanted to keep this momentum going without the team getting too cocky, so he placed a mouse trap with cheese on it in every player’s locker. However, Traylor ended up getting his finger caught in one of the traps when he didn’t realize one was on the podium.
