Crean and Coke-- no not that kind

[jaybilaswho?]

Crean has moved to Coca-Cola?!?!?!?! I am almost positive that they have Diet Pepsi in Hawaii.
Has he been drinking this for the other games so far?

I thought he was too addicted to Diet Pepsi to ever change drinks, but I guess the light blue of the Diet Pepsi can would clash with the Crimson and Cream of Indiana. It's Indiana!

Probably some sarcasm there, and my detector's busted.

But, I always assumed that Crean was getting paid to drink diet pepsi.  Maybe not.  I'm fairly confident that he'd dring whatever he's paid the most to drink.

It looked to me during a clip of a game I saw that during a game Buzz was drinking water with the label peeled off.  Maybe somebody who is at the games could say for sure.  That sounds like a coach who is looking for an endorsement deal.  Smart man.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe IU has a sponsorship deal with Coke.

THAT'S NOT DIET.

Or he is getting paid to drink Coke now, it doesn't look diet to me.

It's Red and White like INDIANA, INDIANA!

Watch him balloon!

You are correct sir. He had an unlabeled water bottle for a couple of the games so far.

[StillAWarrior]

You are correct sure. He had an unlabeled water bottle for a couple of the games so far.

That's what I thought.  He obviously realizes that somebody will pay to have him drink their water, and he's not going to give it away for free.  Like I said, smart man.

[jaybilaswho?]

also smart, because when that bottle is empty and he is out of the public's eye, he can throw in a fat lipper and use it as a spitter.

It's Coca-Cola, It's Coca-Cola!

Let's make this happen....
I'm in for $5.00

I like the idea. 

However, I wonder if it has to do with the BC being a Pepsi shack, and Pepsi owns Aquafina.  Aquafina is just tap water (I mean uh, municipal water source), and Buzz might be a water snob, but isn't allowed to drink "his" water if the label is left on.

[Ahoya06]

Given that he's the guy who shoves Skoal in his mouth, I'm not sure I'd believe that Buzz is a water snob...

[rocky_warrior]

But we also know he's a bit obsessive compulsive.

232 days on the job BTW...

Its Copenhagen, pretty boy.

Are you sure it's a bottle of water?

How about ZIMA?!? It's makin' a comeback!

I was thinkin' it was moonshine...

While I'm fully aware teal is sarcasm, Zima is no more per the Wikipedia entry...

And we found out it has to be exactly 6 ice cubes in his sweetened tea.


"carrying the first of many sweet ice teas with exactly six ice cubes."

What's the nominal cube size?

[BrewCity83]

MacIlvaine talked about it on the TV broadcast last night...and said that Buzz has one unlabled water bottle for the first half and a different unlabeled water bottle for the second half, and a big sweet tea stashed behind the bench.  Jimmy Mac then suggested that Buzz was holding out for a water sponsor (he clearly got some of his inspiration from this board).
