Coffee With the Coaches Promotion
Filed under:
Are you aching for a forum to ask Coach Rodriguez and Coach Beilein a direct question? If you are, you now have an official MGoBlue.com corporate sponsored (Tim Hortons) forum managed by Michigan's marketing firm IMG College/Michigan Sports Marketing to do just that.
If you are the lucky contributor who submits the question that is selected to be asked on "Inside Michigan Football" (August-November) or "Inside Michigan Basketball" (November-March), you will also win a fabulous prize from Tim Hortons! Of course, the catch is that you have to provide said corporate sponsor and its promotional partners with your contact info, but that's a small price to pay for the opportunity to have your sponsored question posed to RichRod or Coach B.
SPONSOR: The "Tim Hortons Coffee with the Coach" (the "Sweepstakes") is sponsored by Tim Hortons (the "Sponsor"). IMG College/Michigan Sports Marketing, University of Michigan, and the University of Michigan Athletic Department are not sponsors.

Do I actually have to DRINK it while I meet with the coaches? Man, the only thing good at Tim Hortons in the iced cap. Everything else sucks.

The American version of the Tim Horton's is quite different than the quality version here in "our home and native land". The American Tim's is always served too hot, the sizes are different and they don't use the +/- 40 percent cream either. Making things worse, the servers have no idea what "double double" (double cream, double sugar) means when you order. Finally, they don't add the alleged MSG or whatever the oft rumored substance is here in the Great White North that has about everyone here addicted with crack like intensity.
I don't always drink coffee, but when I am in Michigan, I patronize Bigby.

Tea biscuits
Tea biscuits
When Tim's opened in the U.S., I was excited that in addition to most of my other favorites from the Great White North, ham and cheese tea biscuits were also on the menu. That lasted all of about two years before they were no longer available.
When Dave Thomas acquired Tim Horton's, he said it was because of the "great product". Why, then, change it? Frankly it passes me off when marketing geniuses dumb down the authentic products for American tastes.

With the sponsorship in mind, I'd like to ask RR
if, given the diminutive size of some of the athletes he's recruited, he's considering adding a position called timbit. I'd love to hear about a 4-star timbit from Florida signing an LOI.

Ontario's Answer for Dunkin Donuts...
Ontario's Answer for Dunkin Donuts...
To put Dunkin Donuts and Tim Horton's in the same category shows a complete missunderstanding of the Tim's phenomenon in Canada. Tim's is at once social gathering place not unlike a British pub and at the same time a national icon like touques, hockey and beer. Tim Horton's is a whole lot more than coffee. It is also Canada's leading fast foot provider, with aproximately 63% of the fast food market in Canada. That market share is won head to head with such American icons as McDonald's. Within a mile of my house here in London, a city of 350,000, there are four Tim's. Within the same radius that encompases the nearest McDonalds, there are eight Tim's. I can walk to two different Tim's in less than 15 minutes and do so frequently, often running into someone I know from the neighbourhood while there.
It is nice to see Tim's supporting the program though and I had submitted my question last week some time.

..."a complete misunderstanding of the Tim's phenomenon in Canada." I had no idea that it is such a Great White North institution. If you've ever lived in the northeast U.S., you probably wouldn't have a problem with the Dunkin' Donuts comparison, though.
