MEET COKE ZERO'S NEW HIRES!

A sophomore at Michigan State University , Steven is a member of the vaunted “Izzone,” which gives the Spartans one of the best home court advantages in all of college basketball. He lives and breathes Spartan basketball. Ask Tom Izzo about Steven's loyalty, and he'll tell you how he once served as flag-bearer for team pep rally. How does Steven pass his time when basketball season is over – on the gridiron, of course, as a member of the Michigan State marching band.

A sophomore at Syracuse University , Stacey is best known for arriving at the Carrier Dome three hours before Orange home games just to stake a claim to her seat in the student section.  She grew up in nearby Oswego bleeding orange and did not miss a home game during high school. Her room at home is a shrine to former Syracuse sharp-shooter Gerry McNamara. A broadcast journalism major, Stacey wants to use her experience in San Antonio as a stepping stone in her career.

Though he may not hail from a school with a reputation as a traditional basketball powerhouse, Ryan never backed down in his passion for cheering on the Panthers during his four years at the University of Northern Iowa . Aside from rarely missing a home game, Ryan braved Midwestern blizzards and ice storms in his quest to follow UNI on key road trips and cheer them on. Ryan did his part to help give the Panthers a decided home court advantage in the Missouri Valley Conference by creating the student cheer sheets at each home game.

The state of Texas would be hard pressed to find a basketball fanatic as passionate as Dustin. Two years ago, he camped out for 16 hours straight to get Dallas Mavericks NBA Finals tickets.  Dustin is very familiar with the Alamodome, site of this year’s Final Four. Last year, he road-tripped down to San Antonio from his home in Ft. Worth to see the South Regional Finals. But let's not mention to his fellow Lone Star state friends that he is a die-hard Oklahoma State fan.
