Pepsi will take over for Coke this fall and for the next decade.

So, if we are struggling filling the seats, I'm sure they will buy them all up just like EMU, right?

Wooo, free Mountain Dew for everyone!

Go juice for everyone!

I wonder if a new Pepsi video board was part of the agreement...

I am going to miss my Vitamin water up in the Gary box.

At least we get to have Gatorade now.

I'm a coke guy so this is a step back for me.

RC Cola is the best by far. Popular in the South where they require serious refreshment.

Pepsi is for losers.

Well now that I process that thought, maybe Pepsi is the right fit.

Pepsi is banking on that NC next year.

If they start serving Diet Mt Dew at the games, I might reconsider my decision to not renew my season tickets.

This is upsetting to me. I remember during my summer orientation before i started at WMU, back when there was still a taco bell in the bronco mall, they told us that it was the only taco bell in the country that had coke instead of pepsi. I don't know how true that was, but that was something I always bragged to my friends about.

Its always about money... Pepsi probably paid more... and thus added more to the bottom line... possibly allowing for more upgrades to the athletic facilities. Coke and Pepsi are both terrible for you... but if I had to pick one over the other its coke all the way. And for that... I am slightly bummed. Its called whisky and coke NOT whisky and pepsi.

As much as I don't like it, it is consistent with the marketing of our football program. We all know that the recent changes were flavored to the younger fan. PJ really knows how to play to that demographic. And pepsi is identified more with the younger generation versus Coke.

Not saying that is a good or bad thing. Just an interesting coincidence. As Flush indicated, the concession most likely went to the highest bidder.

As I read this, I thought what do I call it. For me its just Captain and Diet. Put enough booze in it and it doesn't matter which brand it is.

I'll take Coke over Pepsi every day of the week.

That being said, Mt. Dew is pretty awesome....and gatorade is 10x the product of powerade.

Coke > Pepsi

How sad are we? Getting so aligned to corp America products?!?

Personally, I drink water. Or juice. I'm particularly fond of apple cider.

Soda (sorry...POP) is really terrible for you. Also, as DB pointed out, I don't know how we've become so attached to one particular product. Is it not okay to like both...or neither?
