Okay ....the Real Thing
« on: September 08, 2014, 04:37:29 PM »
Since we had no attendance with Saturday's weather, many do not know ...but YSU now supports (or is supported by) Pepsi. To me this in unacceptable. I am a Coke person. I am going to see what Pepsi gave us for the deal and see if we can get a momentum swing back to Coke.

Pepsi is the best soda drink in the world. You heard that from me here and now.
"They have scalelike barbless feathers, flipperlike wings, and webbed feet and by the way also excellent athletic teams"

The absolute last thing that I want to do is get into a fight over a soft drink.  But in numerous national surveys, people prefer Coke over Pepsi.  Why is this important to us?  Because in the last contract with Coke, the athletic department received a percentage every time somebody on campus fed a Coke machine.  Unless the new deal with Pepsi is very lucrative, I fear that consumption on campus will decrease as will the share going back to athletics.

I think that you will find that Coke paid for the Beeghly and Ice Castle scoreboard expansions as well. Nothing wrong with showing a little support for your team or your soda pop.

Strollo insinuated the deal was better than the current Coke deal when I talked to him about a month ago.

Yes it is serious. If you support Coke and YSU, what does it hurt to sign the petition? You do not have to register.

In the mean time, everyone bring in a bottle of Coke and drink it at the games. Or at go out and buy a Coke cup and drink the beer and water from it.

I prefer Pepsi, so I'm glad they made the switch.  When I was on campus in the mid-80's, I would make the trek to Ward Beecher to visit a lone Pepsi machine that resided in its depths.

When I was on campus, they had RC Cola. That was because Arby's sold RC.

Look how many times do you get to tell the university what you want. If you agree support the cause ...if you don't ...then fine.
