The unthinkable has happened - Dr. Pepper is putting Larry Culpepper on waivers.
Adam Carricker, who writes the Carricker Chronicles for "Big Red Today" which is part of the Omaha World-Herald's Nebraska Cornhuskers' coverage, tweeted Monday the soft drink company had decided to design a fresh ad campaign for its College Football Playoff sponsorship.
It means the four-year run of actor Jim Connor's character of Larry Culpepper, a stadium concession worker who claimed he created the CFP, is over.
Connor, as Culpepper, was visible the at CFP's semifinals and finals each year, as well as being seen at the SEC championship game.
