Great write up! The reason that soda actually dehydrates you even more is because it has caffeine in it which is a diuretic (causes your body's water to be lost in urine). Better to drink nothing than a soda.
I always wear a Camelbak with ice water while I'm in game. Once I get back to the car for lunch break, I'll drink plenty of Gatorade; this has worked well for me over the years.
Also, people tend to get dehydrated a lot in the winter without even knowing it since they aren't sweating.
