So you’re a large food products company and want to capitalize on the ND hype…what do you do?? Well if you are General Mills you release a Wheaties box with the Notre Dame plastered all over it. The official unveiling took place last Friday in front of the bookstore. My favorite part of all this is the bookstore is marking up the price of the boxes to $5.99! Bastards…I never forgave you when you started charging more than $0.99 for ND shot glasses. My advice skip the bookstore, go to Martin’s and pick up your cereal and a jar of CJs sauce.
So what’s the administrations take on all this??
“This is a unique privilege for a football program that has worked very hard over the years to reach the pinnacle of success in collegiate sports,” said Chuck Lennon, Notre Dame’s Associate Vice President for University Relations and Executive Director of the Alumni Association. “The front of a Wheaties box is an accomplishment the entire school and all our alumni, as well as Notre Dame fans everywhere, can celebrate together”
I think another National Championship would also be a an accomplishment we can celebrate together…but the Wheaties box will do in the meantime.
