As someone from the big 10, I’m disappointed that no other conference does this

[@peggypeters6676]

Because the big ten is the best!!

Fun fact about the oval: it was left unpaved for decades as the university let students make desired pathways in the grass. Eventually OSU just paved roads over those student made pathways and that’s why it’s so intricate (including all the way up to 18th Ave)

[@MegaBrokenstar]

This is also why a lot of students are furious with recent administrations’ attempts to enforce photogenicity of the grass by putting up random chains and ropes to block ways people like to cut through. OSU’s walkways were literally decided by how people wore paths in the grass until these clowns started resisting it.

[@hossahunter22]

same thing is happening at PSU (albeit not in the oval shape), where every time I go back there seems to be a new paved path on a place you used to see ultimate frisbee or touch football games.

[@karlangerman1557]

My dad once pointed out that the oval was paved with bricks when he went there. They were replaced with cement after the students used them to pelt the national guard troops during the riots in 70.

The bridge in Minneapolis is actually the stone arch bridge, an old rail bridge that is now a beautiful pedestrian bridge with a great view of St Anthony Falls and the skyline, and a bridge i run across multiple times a week :)

[@MoriartyMcG]

2:55 definitely the stone arch bridge

[@hughgitlin5682]

It is Stone Arch. Unfortunately, next year it is closing for 2 years for repair:(

[@caseysmith544]

I ran that bridge in early 2010's and 2009 for the River to River Ragnar relay. The first year the team was fast and got in the top 10 for the 12 man teams at about 8--10 We were mostly from Pierre (Pier) South Dakota. Then the next few years we were slower due to the fast guys being injured as one of them tried to stupidly keep up very hard training. That first year we did the race, person on an old steel 10 speed road racing Campagnolo or Japanese Sun bike in Tour De France Yellow, they nearly took me out on the bridge just lightly brushing my skin with the bikes metal pedal that the guy had old style clips for, he looked like he used the bike for super touring having front and back racks on the bike.

As someone who volunteers to fill and tie balloons at husker games, I’m so disappointed that they got rid of them

[@Hunter-dj9ld]

@@rowdyjr2318The other issue is we had to use a lot of helium for all of the balloons. The helium was better used elsewhere, especially since there was a helium shortage and it is a non renewable resource.

[@DavidLisk]

Releasing balloons is as environmentally friendly as throwing plastic shopping bags into a river or forest

[@hs-ashk]

It even has sound easter eggs btw. for example when it gets to MSU the bell rings. and purdue has the train noise.

[@EmbracetheGrind]

I have always loved the fact that Camp Randall jumps up and down for Wisconsin. I have always thought that it was a nice touch.

[@sethpulsford511]

One thing you missed with OSU is behind the stadium is the oval, as central grassy area that signifies the border of north and south campus and is a great area to hang out and it has a bunch of paths through it to connect to a sidewalk to take you anywhere on campus. It is also home to the largest library on campus

[@osubucknut100]

Was about to say this

[@jonconstant3914]

Love this commercial as a Michigan fan and a geography nerd. Transitions are super smooth. I’m excited to see how they revamp it with the expansion teams. Will be interesting to see which direction they approach it. Maybe start in Seattle and work down to LA, then make that same transition over the mountains into Nebraska? Also, they need to add some things like the Children’s Hospital in Iowa City, and maybe another reference or two for MSU (as much as I hate them, they’re still a big part of this conference). Maybe something with the Breslin Center? They seemed to have been gipped. Could also add in some pieces of other nearby cities like they did for Detroit, Philly, DC, and NYC. Chicago and Minneapolis make more sense because NW/UM are there already, but lots of other great cities could use a reference here. Very surprised, for instance, that Lucas Oil isn’t on here at all, nothing for Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, Des Moines, Omaha. Expand this sucker to a minute flat and give proper reference to actual B1G country, not just the east coast cities the B1G brass wants to be a part of.

[@andrewduncan2258]

Yeah, it's sad the Michigan and MSU don't get a little more, but I bet they didn't have a lot of space since the campuses are so close to each other. ps. I'm sure you didn't mean anything by it, so FYI: "gypped" is a harmful word which perpetuates the stereotype of the Roma people being tricksters and thieves.

[@cal7772]

Screw the expansion teams they arent allowed in this commercial

[@MarylandTerps1]

As a Maryland alum, I have to agree, I think this is one of the best commercials ever. When I first saw this we were the newbies with Rutgers, and I thought to myself, what a wonderful welcome and what an awesome conference to be part of. Still feel that way almost ten years later. Thanks for running through each school and welcome to the new, newbies from the west coast!

I thought both songs were fine. I was just glad there was a commercial that wasn't in your face this product is the best it just showed why it's great and added academic statues and buildings and what makes these colleges actually colleges and not a sports franchise. Also when it focuses on Wisconsin you actually hear the words "Jump Jump Jump!"

[@DuckOfRubber]

I’m a bit surprised they didn’t include Indy or at least Lucas Oil Stadium, as its the conference’s favorite neutral site which frequently hosts championship events and its not much further from both Indiana and Purdue than most of the other depicted cities are from their respective campuses. Plus 50% would be a very conservative estimate of the percentage of the college educated population who got their degree from a Big Ten school. Not just Indiana and Purdue either; the others, particularly Ohio State, Michigan, and Michigan State are well represented too.

[@charliecarroll33]

I think they just didn’t have a lot of room with Purdue & IU both being pretty close to Indianapolis

[@MegaBrokenstar]

@@charliecarroll33this. Just too crowded.

[@aydanpatrick9182]

Awesome video! The Minnesota section (2:37) is actually missing a few things. 1. That is the stone arch bridge, a historical landmark that is now a pedestrian bridge crossing the Mississippi river near downtown Minneapolis. 2. That tall buildings are actually in 2 separate cities. The one of the left is the Wells Fargo Building (tallest building in St Paul) and the one of the right is the IDS Center (tallest building in Minneapolis) 3. The small rectangular building is actually the 3M headquarters, one of Minnesota's largest homegrown companies! Nice video!

Really underrated part of the commercial is the background sounds of fans cheering, coins flipping, train horns blowing, etc

[@obi-wankenobi140]

As a die hard OSU fan I remember the first year this aired I was in 5th grade. Seeing this every Sat brings me back to the 2014 season and the natty OSU won that year.

Also shoutout to the typography of the land. You see the Mississippi River, the Great Lakes, and gradual elevation of the Appalachian Mountains. Not to mention I love how they have the trees turning orange and red for fall, especially in the northeast.

[@Kari2025]

Gonna miss this commercial. End of an era.

[@randyoram8268]

For Minnesota, I think that’s actually the Stone Arch Bridge. Very famous icon in Minneapolis that connects downtown (mill city specifically) with northeast, near the campus The 3rd Ave Bridge has fewer arches that are more shallow

[@GrubWarp]

It’s a cool late September day in 2014, you are watching Indiana play at Ohio state. Life is good

[@PrinceAnt722]

Being from Jersey, I've always appreciated this commercial. Even though Rutgers has been a member for only 10 years, it gives the effect that they have been synonymous for a lot longer. Two of the clues that are referenced to Penn State (the Liberty Bell and Love Sign), can also be used to show how close Rutgers is to two major cities: New York and Philadelphia.

[@maestromuffin1]

as New Brunswick is much close to Philly than state college is.

[@bb-mh3xb]

I'm not even a Big10 fan I grew up in Florida and I am a fan of The U but, I agree this is awesome. By far the best commercial I've ever seen for any sport. I feel I should add I read a rumor online that ND and The U got AAU status to join the Big10 and my first thought was this commercial with Miami in it lol

[@tomdemay6147]

Miami is a lock for the Big 10 once the ACC implodes. Notre Dame will be last domino to fall.

[@NJBrick22]

Great commentary. Two quick thoughts: 1. Why wouldn’t that have put in the Iowa children’s hospital in this? Seems so iconic and a beautiful thing they do on game day. 2. For Rutgers, I believe the Ferris wheel is an ode to the Jersey shore boardwalk. In this case, I think it is the one from Seaside Heights

[@markknapp3714]

The commercial came out in 2014 and Iowa didn't start the Wave until 2017

[@quantumofconscience6538]

Wow, great job with this. I just have one thing to add. South of Rutgers... the Ferris Wheel and Roller Coaster..... is just a "general nod" to the "Jersey Shore" communities that start at Cape May and go up to about Asbury Park with 10 resort towns in between. Many have rides, as does Ocean City like you said.

[@vdubproductions2646]

You may still see some reference to the Rose Bowl with UCLA playing in the Big Ten next year with the Bruins playing their home games there. As well as Pauley Pavilion and Banners from Basketball. USC with the Coliseum and Downtown LA for both schools and possibly Smurf Stadium. Oregon I see of course Autzen Stadium, maybe of couple of Campus buildings, as well as drop of Downtown Portland Washington I could see Husky Stadium with Lake Union and Lake Washington, of course beautiful Downtown Seattle skyline that include Lumen Field and T Mobile Park

[@bubblegaminglol]

For the amusement park near Rutgers, the most logical guess from me is Six Flags Great Adventure, since it shows a thrill coaster and a Ferris wheel and Great Adventure is the closest park resembling that, Gillian’s Wonderland Pier only has a kiddie coaster

[@alexmurphy8837]

Morey's Piers could also be one since it is located in South Jersey, but it has to be Great Adventure. They must moved it down bc other Rutgers graphics lol

[@maestromuffin1]

oh, I just assumed it was great adventure.

well, I was an extra in the movie - and i say it's both(really one in the same!).

[@Asher-xo3gd]

For Ohio State, the blimp also flies over the oval, which is the main walkway in between classes. Love this video so much!!!!

[@ynotw57]

On the MSU section, it appears there's a bridge which may symbolize the bridge the Spartans football team walks over to Spartan Stadium before each game when the team does "the walk" across campus. I'm surprised the video didn't feature The Rock, which has been a focal point for many moments in MSU's history, where students come together during times of joy, trouble, sorrow, triumph, and tribute. Anyway, I agree, this commercial for the B1G is one of my favorites and really showcases the conference in a way no other conference can. It's absolutely wonderful.

WOW! Never thought I would spend 8 minutes watching a breakdown of a commercial...and loving it! I also love this commercial, and have been looking forward to the new, revised version!

goat commercial agreed and i hope they keep this general concept when usc and co are part of the b10 and as such make some changes to the easter eggs because as a uw student, the pink flamingos on bascom hill (where the abe statue is and is already shown in the commercial) would be such an easy add and stealing one become a huge part of being a student or the arch going into camp randall (love walking through this little area to get home)

[@TimmyTheTinman]

I have a couple predictions for when they update the commercial for the Pac 12 teams, I think for USC and UCLA they add the Hollywood sign and the coliseum and Washington they add the Seattle Space Needle, I need to do more research on Oregon and really all the campuses themselves.

This is definitely my favorite commercial. I assume they add the Hollywood sign for LA along with their stadiums. The world knows Nike for Eugene though that may be a marketing issue. Of course the Space Needle for Seattle. I'd love to see the White Out and fireworks added for PSU as an alum. PSU is central PA so Pittsburgh references can also be added.
