All right? All right, here are media examples to help us bring these two phrases home:

1. Over the years, the voice of Tom Larscheid has become synonymous with Vancouver Canucks hockey.

As the team’s radio colour commentator for more than 25 years, Larscheid has been there and called that; think back to your favourite Canucks memories and there’s a good chance he had a hand in making them such.

In the booth Larscheid is cleverly spontaneous and infectiously enthusiastic, he’s cheerful and positive for the most part, yet not afraid to call a spade a spade – “what you see is what you get from Tom Larscheid,” as he puts it.

But there was a time, many moons ago, when what you saw is certainly not what you got from Larscheid.

He was once a fierce football player who could stop on a dime back when a bottle of Coke cost the same and this weekend he’s being honoured for it.

From 1959 to 1961 Larscheid attended Utah State University, playing for the Aggies. At 5-foot-8 and 150-pounds, he looked more like a water boy than a running back in those days and early on in his career he didn’t garner much respect at the line of scrimmage.

That changed in a hurry. Hulk and intimidation weren’t his strengths, but speed and determination were.

“Every time my number was called, my mindset was ‘I’m going to take this one all the way for a touchdown,’” said Larscheid, now 68. “Every time.”
