The entire article and set of maps from last year is interesting

http://www.businessinsider.com/22-maps-that-show-the-deepest-linguistic-conflicts-in-america-2013-6?op=1



The way I read this map is that Milwaukee and St. Louis are very sophisticated cities, on par with the likes of NYC and LA.

Suffice to say, the usage of "soda" in MKE and StL clearly has something to do with the brewing heritage of those cities... I just can't connect the dots.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

Do they still make Graf's? Their root beer, Grandpa Graf's, wasn't bad actually. The brand featured a stylized guy in a Bavarian hat and lederhosen with a Bismark stache.

I learned to appreciate Vernor's while working in Detroit and pick it up in Wisconsin at Pick N Save stores.  Not fond of diet Vernor's.

I feel the same way about Sprecher's Lo-Cal root beer.

Despite the laugh at the jones soda is quality pop phrase I had to say their cream soda and root beer are amazing but their ginger ale is an abomination.  That's all I tried

I still see it on and off in stores around here and have had one or two within the last couple of years.  Good stuff.

The only good thing about SLCRB is that it's labelled for what it is: low calorie.  It's amazing how many people are duped into the whole "diet" soda thing... if sugar is bad for your diet, so are artificial sweeteners.

If it isn't sweetened exclusively by something ending in -ose (except sucralose), it's crap.

Other than the Northern 10% of the state and Indianapolis, Indiana is even more hick than Mississippi or Alabama.

They had the largest KKK organization in the country and the John Birch Society originated in Indiana.

Guess the hillbillies needed more than one organization to hate blacks, Jews, and Catholics.

Plus they can't even spell potato!

 Dr. Pepper is the best of the diet drinks. For ginger ale I remember Vernor's being my favorite

Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper is the only diet soda I can stomach.  Probably because the aftertaste of the artificial cherry and vanilla flavors drowns out the chemically sweetened taste.

The only diet offering in the soda machine in McCormick's lobby my freshman year was Tab.

How I survived that year remains a mystery. Must have been the nutritious eating!

How the Golden Eagles might line up this season

By Michael Hunt

For the second consecutive year they've lost their top returning scorer in similar ways.

Vander Blue left after his junior year to give the NBA a shot. It hasn't worked out the way he wanted so far, but he made some money overseas last year. Earning a living also was the driving influence for Todd Mayo, and more power to him as he seeks a job overseas, but that's where the parallels end.

Blue's surprising departure pretty much crippled Marquette last year. With him, it would have been good NCAA tournament team. Without a go-to scorer, the offensively challenged Golden Eagles couldn't even make the NIT.

Mayo's departure won't radically change Marquette's fortunes. The Golden Eagles probably would have struggled to make the NIT with him. They'll be somewhere in that ballpark without him. Although he had shown some signs of improvement, he wasn't on the verge of a huge breakout year like Blue. Still inconsistent, Mayo probably would have been a 12- to 15-point scorer on a team that was bringing back not much offense beyond Deonte Burton.

So how do they line up this year with just 10 players?

Good question.

Right now, I'd say:

PG Derrick Wilson
 SG Matt Carlino
 C Steve Taylor Jr.
 SF Juan Anderson
 PF Deonte Burton

Of course, this changes after Dec. 14, when center Luke Fischer becomes eligible. Taylor, at 6-7, can move back to one of the forward positions. But Taylor still has to pick up his game. He was a disappointment last year after coming off a knee injury. Even when he was physically able, Buzz Williams sat him. Fischer has developed a nice jump hook that's hard to stop from a 7-footer, so he'll add a little offense along with a defensive presence around the rim. Anderson has never been a numbers guy. Burton is probably Marquette's best overall player at the moment, a guy who can fill a variety of positions at 6-4, but he struggled defensively last year. It will be interesting to see what the lone incoming freshman, Sandy Cohen, can provide.

I go with experience in the backcourt right now with Wilson, a senior, and Carlino, a graduate student. But Wilson struggled to score so much last year that teams sometimes played Marquette 4-on-5. Carlino is an unknown. He left BYU because he was coming off the bench. He's a point guard, but with the loss of Mayo he'll play both. The best all-around guard might be Duane Wilson, who missed last year with a stress fracture. He could be in the starting lineup before long. John Dawson showed form and promise as a shooter last season. There are still a few questions on Jajaun Johnson, who, like Taylor, fell deep into Williams' doghouse last year.

No doubt, all 10 guys will have to contribute. Steve Wojciechowski will probably add another body or two via transfer or walk-on, but he'll probably only get a practice body at this point. That's the thing. If someone is hurt, sick or in class, the Golden Eagles won't have enough players to scrimmage. Good thing for them, they have young assistants who played at a high level and could act as fill-ins.

This has absolutely nothing to do about soda.

PG - Pepsi Light (w/the lemon and saccharine)
SG - Ginger Beer - goes great with bourbon
SF - Jones Green Apple - switchable
PF - Dr. Pepper
C - Sprecher Root Beer - Solid rebounder

I'm like a turtle, sometimes I get run over by a semi.
