The Greek Sportsbook Readies for College Football with More Proposition and Future Bet Offerings

Montego Bay, Jamaica (PRWEB) June 25, 2006

The Greek Sportsbook, a leader in online sports betting, continues its prominence in college sports with more offerings on college football for the upcoming season.

This week, The Greek Sportsbook is the first to release odds on the #1 recruiting class for incoming freshman for 2007. The Greek will use the rankings that are found at http://rivals.com one, of the premier recruiting services and websites for grading of the wager.

The battles that take place on the field are sometimes secondary to the battles that occur for players in their parents homes. Serious college football fans following the recruiting trail all year know that one key player may enable a team to move up the rankings. The Rivals.com rankings are updated daily during the academic year and change rapidly, all of which should make for competitive wagering and exciting action during the recruiting season.

The 2006 Heisman Trophy is awarded in early December but its outcome can be wagered on now. The Greek posted the odds on the Heisman award immediately following the 2005 ceremony and the current odds reflect player suspensions or other events that may have affected the market.

Senior quarterback Brady Quinn of Notre Dame is the current favorite at +250. Quinn, who considered entering the NFL draft in the off-season, should make a good case for the award with a manageable schedule and weekly national television coverage.

Adrian Peterson of the Oklahoma Sooners is the second choice at +400. The junior running back was hampered by injuries last season, but if he can duplicate his freshman season?s performance he may be taking home the award.

Ohio State?s do everything offensive weapon Ted Ginn appears a generous +1500. The Buckeye?s are one of the favorites to appear in the Fiesta Bowl and Ginn has to figure heavily in their offensive plans. Ginn?s quickness and ability to return punts for touchdowns should afford him plenty of ?highlight reel? footage for the voters to see before they cast their ballots.

Spine3D Creates Virtual Environments for GMC’s Monday Night Football Pro Grade Challenge Interactive Website

Miami, FL (PRWEB) October 7, 2007

Spine3D architectural visualization studio recently completed a high profile animation project for an interactive website sponsored by General Motors Corp. The studio collaborated with DIGITAS, an international advertising giant in order to complete the work in time for this year’s football season. DIGITAS provided the concept and guidance and Spine3D created the virtual execution.

The site (https://gmcnfl.com/?cmp=pgc_gmc_tile) is narrated by ESPN’s Kenny Mayne, and it offers numerous perks for sports fans. Visitors can tour the Pro Grade stadium and visit luxury suites to win weekly Super Bowl tickets, instant prizes, and much more. One lucky winner will receive 3 brand new GMC vehicles.

Though Spine3D is generally known for it’s cinematic animations for the real-estate industry, they quickly and successfully adapted their working methods to include interactive illustration for 3D web. “In fact, our first 3D web project was for Focal Point, a lighting manufacturer, who wanted a unique way to showcase their new product on-line. We learned a lot from that exercise and were able to apply the new methods to the GMC project” says Eddie Leon, Spine3D CEO.

“The internet is evolving more towards 3D and new tools are constantly needed to keep the public entertained and excited about various products and services. We are developing those tools at Spine3D and are eager show them of with every new project” adds Leon.

Many companies have already picked up on this trend and 3D websites are springing up everywhere. Industry giants like Sony and Michelin were one of the first to launch their own 3D web environments. The goal is to entertain and inform while inserting marketing messages in strategic places.

Although the Monday Night Pro Grade Challenge site was launched just recently, it already has a devoted audience. As the result, companies like Spine3D are suddenly in high demand. Who else can build a photo-realistic architectural environment that supports green screen narrators, showcases products, and is cinematic enough to capture the attention of over-stimulated web surfers?

As an architectural visualization studio that specializes in animation, Spine3D can do something a whole team of graphic designers, web developers and architects would otherwise have to collaborate on at great expense. This type of specialization lowers cost, decreases production time and is propelling 3D web into a successful future.

Spine3D was founded in 2000 by Kevin Smith, Eddie Leon and Johann Beckford. It has offices in Miami, New York and Shenzhen. For additional information contact: visit http://www.spine3d.com.

Professional Football Head Coach Mike McCarthy Endorses Service Motor Co. & Case IH Farmall Tractors


Racine, WI (PRWEB) June 13, 2008

Green Bay’s head coach Mike McCarthy is seeing Red these days: Case IH Red. “Green Bay’s Coach McCarthy is officially endorsing Service Motor Company – one of the top Case IH dealerships serving the greater Green Bay area – as well as the famed Case IH Farmall line of tractors,” says Julie Rudnick, Case IH manager of marketing communications.

“Coach is appearing in television and print advertising for Service Motor Company, explaining why a new Case IH Farmall tractor was the best choice for him,” Rudnick adds. “In the ads, he credits the power and reliability of Case IH equipment.”

Coach McCarthy will serve as a guest speaker for the Service Motor Company special VIP customer event to be held at Lambeau Field.

“We’re thrilled to have Coach McCarthy on the Case IH team. With our worldwide corporate headquarters in Wisconsin, thousands of Case IH enthusiasts are obviously die-hard Green Bay fans – and have been for decades,” says Rudnick.

“And with 2008 being the 85th anniversary of the famous Farmall tractors, it’s a great time to celebrate all three legacies,” she says. Service Motor Company was established in 1916, when Antone Sommer began selling Case tractors on his farm near Dale, Wisconsin. That was three years before Curly Lambeau formed a football team in Green Bay, in 1919. Four years later in 1923, the first Farmall tractors were introduced. “Nearly a century later, all three are much bigger, stronger and more successful than any of the founders could have ever expected,” Rudnick notes.

Service Motor Company has been serving northeastern and central Wisconsin’s football fans for 90 years. The company has six locations: Green Bay, Dale, Fond du Lac, Seymour, Stevens Point and Wausau.

Case IH is a global leader in agricultural equipment, committed to collaborating with its customers to develop the most powerful, productive, reliable equipment – for those who demand more. With headquarters in the United States, Case IH has a network of dealers and distributors that operates in over 160 countries. Case IH provides agricultural equipment systems, flexible financial service offerings and parts and service support for professional farmers and commercial operators through a dedicated network of professional dealers and distributors. Productivity enhancing products include tractors; combines and harvesters; hay and forage equipment; tillage tools; planting and seeding systems; sprayers and applicators; and site-specific farming tools.
