BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Discount Raiders Jerseys . - The Southeastern Conference (SEC) is launching its first branding campaign in collaboration with The Richards Group, the SECs agency of record. It Just Means More, a 60-second video, will air nationwide during SEC games, starting Thursday, Sept. 1, when the college football season kicks off.Its a common theme that the SEC is well known for athletic success but there is so much more to the story of our conference, said Greg Sankey, SEC Commissioner. Through our work with the Richards Group we will show the other side of the SEC - one of history, legacy and an overall positive impact on our people, our communities, our state and our nation.The new 60-second spot is the culmination of an 11-day road trip spent gathering shots throughout SEC Country, featuring old barns, old cemeteries and even older libraries. From a small town square in Savannah, GA, to a chartered fishing boat in Orange Beach, AL, the campaign highlights what it truly means to be part of the SEC.The spot is the introduction of an integrated marketing campaign that will also feature print and radio advertising, in-stadium messaging and a social media strategy. While the 60-second spot will air in games involving SEC teams on most ESPN platforms and CBS the first weekend of the season, 30-second versions will air during some ESPN games that originate from neutral sites.Imagine telling the story of the mighty Southeastern Conference, the unquestioned king of college football, without ever mentioning or focusing on a single SEC football player or coach, said Bill Milkereit, brand creative and writer at The Richards Group. We set out to break all the rules of conventional and formulaic conference advertising. We went to great lengths to dig deeper than the clichés and be supremely authentic with respect to SEC tradition, passion and culture.Over 2,900 miles were traveled by van to capture the genuine stories of the SEC. Stories and iconic scenery from each of the 14 universities in the conference are represented in the new work. The famous Toomers Corner at Auburn. The iconic barn off Georgia State Route 15. There are stories of Florida-alumni surgeons who are father and son, three generations of Alabama graduates, a newborn Vanderbilt fan and even a double-majoring graduate student at the University of South Carolina.The story of the SEC is told through the parents of a world-renowned Arkansas athlete, the uniqueness of Big Blue Madness and iconic landmarks on the Missouri campus on graduation day. It is seen in the togetherness of a massive LSU student section and the comparable enthusiasm of a single listener to a dramatic Mississippi State radio call against the backdrop of the Mississippi River.It is seen in the celebration of traditions like Locking the Vaught at Ole Miss, Reveille leading Texas A&M onto the field and the reverence paid to Rocky Top by an enthusiastic gathering of Tennessee followers. All of these stories tie together to support the belief that in the SEC, It Just Means More.To help tell the stories and guide the viewers through the SEC, actress Wynn Everett was identified from among more than a thousand applicants nationwide to be the on-screen ambassador for the campaign. Everett brings deep SEC ties to the role as a graduate of Auburn University and family connections at Vanderbilt, Georgia and Alabama. A native of Georgia who lives in Los Angeles, she has appeared in television and films such as Charlie Wilsons War, HBOs The Newsroom, Lumen for TNT, Showtimes House of Lies, ABCs Greys Anatomy, Mind Games and most recently Marvels Agent Carter. Cheap Raiders Jerseys . Any real chance at payback wont come until the playoff. Still, Pittsburgh knows its taut 3-2 win over the Bruins on Wednesday night is a pretty good place to start laying the groundwork. "They are a very good defensive team," Penguins forward Brandon Sutter said. Raiders Jerseys Outlet .com) - The game was all punts and field goals before Kodi Whitfields catch. http://www.cheapraidersjerseyschina.com/ . It was Kerbers third final of the year after losing to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of Russia in Monterrey in April and to Petra Kvitova of Czech Republic in Tokyo two weeks ago. The 10th-ranked German improved her record in finals to 3-5. The enormous expectations and pressure on the Chicago Cubs might have actually been lessened somewhat by playing the San Francisco Giants?in the Division Series. Not because the Giants arent a worthy opponent; quite the opposite, the Giants are rolling again. They have their own compelling story to tell and this series isnt solely about the Cubs and their bid to win a World Series for the first time in 108 years. The Cubs quest remains the primary theme of this postseason, but the surge by the Giants -- another masterful performance by the mythical Madison Bumgarner, Bruce Bochy, Jeff Samardzija, Hunter Pences hair and, from nowhere, Conor Gillaspies home run -- gives people something else to talk about. That is good for the Cubs.Here are five questions.How good is the Cubs rotation?So good, that one potential Cy Young winner, Kyle Hendricks, will have to wait until the second game to make his start after Jon Lester. So good, Jake Arrieta, who has gone 40-14 the last two years, wont start until Game 3. So good, John Lackey, who was signed by the Cubs in the offseason to make critical postseason starts, will have to wait until Game 4. Still, there is a minor concern with Arrieta, though not from him. In his last start, he allowed seven earned runs, the second-most runs hes allowed in a start as a Cub. In his last six starts, he went 2-3 with 21 earned runs allowed in 35 2/3 innings. Hes healthy and more rested than at this time last year. Maybe he has a great October ahead.What is the status of the Giants rotation?It is in good shape other than Bumgarner having to wait until Game 3 to start. The Giants spent last winter and the 2016 trade deadline making sure they had enough starting pitching after Bumgarner. Johnny Cueto went 18-5 with a 2.79 ERA, making him one of the best No. 2 starters in the game. After a couple of terrific starts he made in the postseason last year for the World Champion Royals, there should be no more talk of whether he is up for the challenge of the biggest games. Samardzija, who pitched for the Cubs for seven years before he was traded to Oakland for Addison Russell, went 12-11 with a 3.81 ERA this year. Left-hander Matt Moore, acquired in late July, pitched some really good games down the stretch. And then theres Bumgarner, who shut out the Mets in the wild-card game, lowering his road ERA in the postseason to 0.50, a record, by far. He has made 13 postseason starts and allowed no runs in six of them, tying Tom Glavine for the most scoreless postseason starts in history (it took Glavine 35 starts to get his six). A pitcher has thrown a shutout in a winner-take-all game 19 times. Only Bumgarner has done it twice. He has pitched 23 innings in winner-take-all games and not allowed a run. If the Giants can win one of two in Chicago, then hand it to Bumgarner in Game 3, this series could get very interestting. Raiders Jerseys From China. How much better offensively are the Cubs than last year?Remember, the Cubs got shut down by the great pitching staff of the Mets in the 2015 NLCS. That could happen again -- anything is possible in baseball -- but the Cubs are a significantly better offensive club in 2016. They scored 119 more runs than last year, placing them second in the NL in runs scored to the Rockies. Just as important, they struck out 221 fewer times than last year. First baseman Anthony Rizzos approach to hitting -- he chokes up with two strikes and sometimes just tries to put a ball in play -- hasnt gone unnoticed by other Cubs. The addition of Ben Zobrist, who is a tough out, even with two strikes, has made a difference. In spring training, Maddon said he was dazzled by how much better a two-strike hitter Kris Bryant was compared to last season. It showed. It has shown with all the Cubs.Who will close for the Giants?The Giants led the league in blown saves (30). They lost more games (nine) that they entered the ninth inning with a lead than any team in baseball; five of them came in September. They lost 10 games that they led by three or more runs, most in the major leagues. The bullpen blew eight games in which Bumgarner was in line for a victory, most in the major leagues. The bullpen is the primary reason that the Giants went 30-42 in the second half, the worst second-half record ever by a team that made it to the postseason. Sergio Romo, a former Giants closer who got the final out of the 2012 World Series, is seen as the closer now, but even thats not guaranteed. Bochy will mix and match down there. There is no one better at that than him, but its highly unlikely that he will go back to Santiago Casilla, especially at home, where Casilla occasionally gets booed. The Giants had a tremendously deep and effective bullpen in each of their three championship seasons over the last six seasons. They dont have that same depth this year.How good is the Cubs defense?It is the best in the National League. Russells shift to shortstop in June 2015 was the big move. Russell, and the overall Cubs defense, has gotten better with every game he plays at shortstop. Jason Heyward has brought tremendous defense to right field. Javier Baez has provided great defense at whatever infield position he plays. Bryant can play third base or the outfield. This gives Maddon all sorts of options. Defense was Maddons signature with his Tampa Bay Rays teams. He may be a new-school guy with the way he relates to players and because hes the most interesting man in the world, but he is as old school as it gets when it comes to the actually playing of the game. To him, you simply cant win without a good defense.Prediction:?Cubs in five. Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
