I have done blind root beer taste tests with my family and friends a few times. I give them samples of 18-22 different brands of root beer and then everyone votes on their favorite. The interesting thing is that the national brands (a&w, Barq's,) always are near the bottom. Generic brands (Shasta or store brands) are middle of the pack and specialty or craft root beers come in at the top. Sprechers brand has won the most times. Sprechers or IBC always for me.

If kids care so much about being at a Nike school, they should be top five every year. That's the point I'm making. We would be a tier 2 or 3 school in Nike's portfolio, we're tier 1 for Adidas. It's not a bad deal for now. They lost a bunch of kids because their coaches went to Miami. They were Top 10 last year IIRC. Quote Link to comment

Hy-vee carries six or seven brands in glass bottles. I got some in growler from some place in Columbus that makes their own. Menard's of all places has a couple varieties. There is a store in Sandy, UT that just sells Root Beer and they ship. https://therootbeerstore.com 1 Quote Link to comment

Apparel is better for Nike, but cleats and stuff maybe not. Most of what they receive is clothing. I was mainly trying to say, “How are they going to match their clothes to their Jordan’s?” Quote Link to comment

The problem is not Adidas it's lack of local talent and lack of wins. But, if it will give people one less thing to complain about I hope we switch. A&M Has enough money to sway even Nike loyalists haha Quote Link to comment

These kids wouldn’t look once at an Adidas school, when all the gear they would receive from the School, doesn’t match their shoes. What does where you moved to have to do with anything? I’m west of Nebraska too. My point is we need players that can play and are concerned about the right things, not worried about whose frikken logo is on the uniform. From experience, we don’t necessarily want players from out west anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment

Boston College just signed a 10 year agreement. New Balance is based on Boston. There better be some NIL attached to that. BUT STILL! Quote Link to comment
