NBA" DROPS GATORADE* AND PICKS UP BTB By Ghost Writer David Sternson announced today the NBA is dropping longtime sponsor Gatorade" as the official refreshment of the NBA, and instead is going with up and coming BTB Queso. In a prepared statement re- leased by the league Sternson said, "Truthfully, Gato- rade* was offering us more money, but the player's and owner's just prefer Queso!" BTB Queso has been spotted on the sidelines of games since BTB intoduced the melty cheese dip at it's Cantina location 8 months ago. But it hadn't really taken hold until the NBA* Finals, when Lakers play- er's dumped Queso on coach Phil Jackson, rather than the traditional Gatorade* After that point players, both professional and amateur, have been seen chugging queso during games as a thirst quencher. Even runners are getting into the action, preferring spectators to hold cups of queso on the sidelines instead of water. The decision by the NBA* is a niajor blow to Ga- torade*, who has long held the position as the drink of choice of the major sports leagues. Gatorade' ad- mits to being blindsided. "We thought that Powerade' had the best chance of taking our sponsorship spot, not a cheese dip from an Ann Arbor based Burrito place! We've done tests! Queso doesn't even have electro- lytes!" Although Queso does not have electrolytes, word from the BTI B Burrito camp is that is has fresh red., green, and jalapeno peppers, along with 3 kinds of cheese and is made fresh daily. For these reasons, GM Brent lgwood is not suiprised by Queso's acceptance in the mainstream.

At 8:02pm on Friday, Smith was seen carrying a giant burrito out of B'B Burrito on State St. ie allegedly cradled the burrito in his aims as he walked to his car. He proceeded to open the back door of the vehicle to place the burrito in a car seat, all the while speaking baby-talk to the giant burrito. Bystanders watched in confusion as Smith buckled the bUtrito into the seat, shut the door, jumped in the driver seat and drove off. "He seemed to be distracted, he was talking into his phone excit- edly how much he loves BTB," says Joey Mesik, a student at IJniversity of Michigan. Mesik said sur- rounding bystanders exchanged perplexed glances as they heard Smith exclaim loudly into the phone "I just can't get enough of this place!" while buckling the burrito safely in the car seat. "I jst can't, get enoughC of th is place'." 4 EGEND According to Patron By Anonymous 80's Night on Tuesdays to our dance cub like week- ends Thursday Saturday, the Cattina is hands down the best place to party.

"It's no surprise," says the Reseirved, "With last month's introduction of queso and this week's launch of ground beef it was only a matter of time un- til this happened. Throw in the amazing artwork on the currency and new versions annually, you've got your- self a currency that will stand the test of time." Secre- tary of the BTB Treasury Brent Hegwood has continued to make the right moves to solidify the BTB Buck as a force to be reckoned with.
