Dr Pepper Releases Fansville Season 7 Featuring Quinn Ewers, Sign Stealing and More

The Dr Pepper Fansville commercial has become a part of the college football season that many fans look forward to, as the dramatic story it tells has parallels to college football itself. Now, Dr Pepper has released a trailer for Season 7 of Fansville.

Within the publication Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn EwersCharacter theft, the expanded College Football Playoff, and other sports storylines are mentioned.

The focus of the trailer, aside from Dr Pepper, is that college football, and by extension the people of Fansville, are facing a great unknown and jumping on the hype train for the start of the season. That is, unless the starting quarterback is out with an injury.

The references in Season 7 start early and often, with an image showing crop circles in the shape of a playoff bracket, leading to a concerned sheriff announcing, “It's here.”

From there, another member of Fansville complains that “someone is stealing our signs,” in reference to the Connor Stalions sign-stealing scandal that occurred at Michigan last season. Even though head coach Jim Harbaugh is moving on to the NFL and the Connor Stalions are now at the high school level, this is still a story that gets people's attention. That's partly because a company like Dr Pepper is using it in this type of advertising and partly because the NCAA's draft notice regarding the allegations surrounding the case was recently reported.

That's about the time Quinn Ewers makes an appearance in Fansville. In a dramatic twist, as the narrator announces, “The cast is growing,” Ewers introduces himself as a new character while holding a Dr Pepper. Meanwhile, his name appears next to him, calling him a guest star playing “the stand-in.”

Ewers isn't the first big-name quarterback to appear in Fansville. Last season, USC Trojans star Caleb Williams also appeared in the ads. This was made possible thanks to NIL, which allows college athletes to earn money by appearing in events like Fansville.
