The Big East As If Teams Were Beers

DePaul is Natural Ice

Natural Ice is better known as Natty Ice. The beer is cheep, doesn’t taste that great and is really watered down to the point that drinking a case of them is an accomplishment not worth bragging about. They are also a high school students’ go to beverage because of its general lack of expense (under 15 dollars a case in most parts of the country).

The DePaul Blue Demons like to use their basketball money for other sports. Which is totally fine and it is their right to do so, however, it is to the detriment to how well the program has done over the last (what feels like a trillion) few seasons. Because of the lack money put back into the program, the team is not fun to watch either. The talent, like Natty Ice’s taste, is watered down. Unlike the adult-beverage, DePaul is not a high school athletes’ choice to go to for the cheapness.
