    No, but that is funny. The ones they sold when I was a kid were much larger than the ones they were selling then. Kind of like the original GI Joes were bigger than the later generations of them.

    I took my daily walk the other night and halfway thru it I was thinking I might need a diaper just to make it home.

    Cliff Notes Version:

    The early 2000's is when Pepsi came in. Preceding that: Coke developed Powerade and originally Pepsi had a product called All Sport. Pepsi acquired Gatorade in the late 90's. After that, it was just a matter of time before Coke was out.

    Okay, thank you for this. I thought it was when I was in school in the 90s. Perhaps it was the other way around and it was Coke that wanted to have Powerade exclusively on campus. Foolish on their part if that was what eventually cost them the contract.

    Yeah, and I had Playboy for the insightful articles.

    Most of the time, they were REALLY insightful.

    Faint of heart wasn't the issue. I think "fear of shart" was going thru my mind.

    i don’t disagree. I was replying to a post that asked why the parents would be involved or notified. I was explaining why as a parent I would want to be notified.

    Tried to tell my mom that, but she really wasn't very gullible. I had an older cousin who used that and got away with it.

    My friend got those . . . we were bored after about 30-minutes (or less) and probably never player with them again.

    Oh really. Nice thought. I forgot, their paycheck is for their image and likeness. I thought the fans and boosters were straight paying players.

    I was raised on carbonated drinks. They are a big scam. You do know how they hooked everyone, right?

    I think Meyer dismissed a zook holdover mid season.
    Not that Napier equals Meyer but perhaps both did it to rebuild the culture.
