The funniest thing that came out of ACC media days yesterday had to be the national media’s fetish with Jimbo Fisher putting peanuts in his Coke.

“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23
I knew there was something I liked about Jimbo…besides the cool name. 🙂

“In addition to peanuts in his coke, Jimbo also enjoys fried okra, something called string beans, another concoction called “moon pie,” which apparently, are only be eaten with a RC Cola; and hamburger steak…which to this reporter looks like a big hamburger without a bun.”

I first had it in elementary school at after school programs. We’d play outside for an hour or so and then have a snack. The snack was almost always salted peanuts and a Coca-Cola. It just seemed natural.
