A Sea Of Red

Whoever negotiated the MASN TV deal for us deserves a promotion and a pay raise, by the way.

I second that

Same goes for the FamilyNet deal that is much bigger than MASN.

If we could just some better quality cameras for a decent picture.

FTN absolutely needs some upgrades. Someone mentioned this last week but I feel like someone stretched the resolution wayyyy to far.

Other than the picture quality...they do a very good job with the production.

am i mistaken....isn't/wasn't the MASN deal a big south deal and not a 'liberty specific' deal?

You're mistaken. The Big South has a one game a week deal or something like that. We went over and beyond that and negotiated our own deal with them.

ahhh...okay. did not know that. i drove by lu today...does that make me forgiven too?

What the heck were you doing over this way? Trying to avoid race traffic?

the wife and i always try to go somewhere during race weekend to avoid the craziness. we visited my folks in alexandria. plus i ran a 10k in dc this morning. we were on the way home. she pointed out the vines and said "i go to women's conferences there".

You could've bought a poor college kid dinner. You were right by my house.

It is very easy to tell which games are Big South negotiated games and which ones are ours. At least in ours we are upfront about our home announcing crew with FTN logos. The Big South uses a CCU employee who is a shameless homer under the title of "Voice of the Big South".

Here is a liink to the rest of the season schedule for MASN with the Big South game of the week. http://masnsports.com/2008/08/masn-anno ... ge-fo.html

It will be intresting to see if the other games have Matt "CCU Homer" Hogue calling them or the crew last year of Orioles PBP man Jim Hunter and Former Raven Wally Williams with the call.

I see this weeks game is on MASN. I think they're using our talent and produciton guys.

Anytime they use one of our home games they are using a FTN production.

I wouldn't call them 'talent', but yes, they are using our guys.

This board is tough!

Your just now figuring this out!?!? Its so tough people leave and create other screen names and come back!!!

Hold your own and watch you back!

The MASN/Family Net deal is amazing.

I just think it sucks that we can't see any away games here because our Comcast doesn't carry those two channels.

blwall, get a dish for crying out loud! It's cheaper than cable and get you get to watch the Flames (& the Orioles) on MASN. Many have said that Comcast is "of the devil", and I almost agree.

I would, but a huge tree, belonging to a house 4 down from me, blocks any signal I could get with DirecTV or Dish.
