I see the Curt Cignetti thread has just become another Bash IU thread.

Lol - sorry for bringing the negativity. But I feel it is important dialogue for setting expectations. “How you do anything is how you do everything”…

I absolutely love the Cignetti hire btw, love the Woodson hire too.

Fun fact--- never once drank a pop (soda, Mtn Dew, Sprite) in my life. The talk of Coke vs. Pepsi... absolutely do not care. 

Really?? What do you drink for beverages? What is your just sitting around beverage? I don't drink them much anymore but killed them as a kid. My 17 year old has never had a coke but has the occasional sprite

I can for sure say the Coke deal is done. My brother has negotiated with IU for Pepsi the last two times. Pepsi offered more money over 4 years but Coke offered more money upfront. They went with Coke both times. This last time they told Pepsi they were staying with Coke before even hearing Pepsi's offer. Then after hearing it, still said they were staying with Coke. Said they were going to do the same with Adidas. 

I don’t think it’s the same for Adidas.  But I did hear one or both have the right to match any offer I believe.  Not sure what the stranglehold is with Coke as per my understanding they have not lived up to the contract on multiple occasions.

Water, Gatorade, Busch Light, and some sweet tea. Whiskey sours go down pretty well.

Expectations not being met? Well Indiana does love that.

IKR.  I know coming out of Covid they had tons of issues with deliveries to the student food areas.  There are other things I won’t mention but there is a population at IU from a service perspective that would love to move away from Coke.

What’s interesting with Adidas is I talked to someone the other day that is involved with a lot of purchasing and they were like Adidas is fine.  I started naming off issues like quality and overall offerings.  Noted how Homefield apparel has way better selection like their awesome bomber jacket and gave examples of things Nike/Jordan has like real stitched on jerseys.  They had their eyes opened a little but I suspect quite a few others are in the same boat.

Well if you don't actually care to look at the competition or listen to fans, you get Adidas.

I'm ready to get back to Cig, but I'm hopping in to say the new Pepsi zero formula is unbelievably good.

To bring it back to him, does CCC prefer Coke or Pepsi? Someone needs to be asking these hard hitting questions.
