The Big Ten has released its famous ‘maps’ commercial with its new members — Oregon, UCLA, USC and Washington — going viral one day after the new schools joined the league officially.
On3’s Andrew Graham broke down the commercial:
Across the Midwest — and now West Coast — hearts were surely warmed at the Big Ten releasing an updated version of it’s iconic “Maps” commercial. Now featured: The four new teams on the West Coast.
And it’s not just new campuses getting shown off in the video, along with the stadiums for their respective teams. Some key local landmarks also get featured.
As the view glides south into the Pacific Northwest, a float plane buzzes by in front of the Seattle Space Needle before Puddles, Oregon’s duck mascot, leaps through the yellow and green “O” logo. When Los Angeles comes into the frame, the Hollywood sign, Santa Monica Pier and the L.A. skyline get some shine.
From there, the commercial continues as it had through the league, going from Lincoln, Nebraska, all the way to East Coast outposts of Piscataway, New Jersey and College Park, Maryland.
And the song is the ever-familiar “Silver Lining” by Guard.
The Big Ten officially welcomed the four West Coast schools — Washington, Oregon, USC and UCLA — to the league on Friday, Aug. 2.
Former Michigan basketball guard Franz Wagner put up 26 points in a win for Germany over France to sweep Group B with three wins.
Wagner had two epic dunks:
Quote Of The Day
I got more of a feel for what the people are like, what the opportunities are like for the players, what they do during practice, what travel is like and just more details. It was awesome to get to see those guys again and meet some new recruits and immerse myself in what Michigan is all about. I had fun. My family really enjoyed it.”
