Nebraska Fan Cans

[billdozer15]

Does anyone know what NU is doing about the Budweiser Fan cans that have come out in team colors? Here in Iowa the two universities are having a melt down because budweiser changed the color of their cans to Red and Gold and Black and Gold. It sounds like the Universities have contacted Bud and these cans will be discontinued for distribution here in Iowa. Someone tell me NU isn't this petty.

I dont know about Bud (I also live in Texas) but this is what we have down here. The Bud Light fan cans in maroon and white and burnt orange and white.

 

I hope you guys get to enjoy your Tool box red and white cans, I will not be buying the UT or A&M cans this fall- even if I have to drink another brand.

 

I will say it is a great marketing idea.

So I take it UT and the other Texas schools arent trying to say "copyright infringement" and saying AB is encouraging binge drinking? Because that is what the dousches at ISwho and Iowa are trying to do.

I went to a wedding this weekend that had both orange & white cans (Clemson) and garnet & black cans (South Carolina) and it was kinda cool. Everyone had they're team's colored can.

So have you heard if Clemson and SC are putting up a stink about them? I am just trying to figure out if ISU and Iowa are the dumbest Universities in the nation. Nothin but fun haters.

LINCOLN (AP) -- Nebraska athletic director Tom Osborne sent a letter to state Anheuser-Busch InBev distributors asking them not to participate in a promotion that dressed cans of Bud Light in college colors.

 

Nebraska's assistant athletic director for marketing, licensing and concessions says Osborne contacted the distributors after learning of Anheuser-Busch's "Fan Cans" promotion.

 

The promotion was launched earlier this month to coincide with the start of football season. It puts school colors on the beer cans, but not college logos, names or other identifiers.

 

Assistant athletic director Michael Stephens says the majority of the red-and-white cans were turned away by Nebraska distributors, but he acknowledged that "some did get delivered."

I haven't heard anything, I know since they first came out with the aluminum bottles, they've had orange ones in Clemson, and as far as I know nothing was ever said.

L.A.M.E. I need to get ahold of some of those cans.

[NUance]

Heh! I like the Namerator on that same site to create fantasy football mascot names:

 

“Mangy Stinking Hags”

“Mighty Sleeping Hermits”

“Crazy Naked Swarm”

 

Namerator link

[STLHusker]

This is SO STUPID! These cans have 0 effect on whether or not someone under 21 drinks beer. How is it different than when Bud makes custom cans for MLB or NFL. Don't students under 21 root for Baseball or Pro Football teams?

 

This country needs a 5,000 Megaton "Common Sense Bomb" to explode in Manhattan, Kansas.

[NUance]

And the Namerator comes up with a new one for Oklahoma:

 

“Cheeky Inadequate Hillbillies”

[STLHusker]

BTW... Since I live in STL...

 

Budweiser is pulling the cans of any school that sent a letter and some that didn't. It was on the 10 o'clock news last night.

[Touchdown Tommie]

The U of M (Gophers) pulled out as well. I am kind of on the fence on this one. I know it is petty, but if a university if claiming to be dry on campus then it kind of (emphasis on kind of) contradicts what they are doing.

Indeed. T.O. needs to lighten up. How and when does one get to tight?
