On Comcast or MASN? Aren't the games being broadcast on MASN and WDRL? Why would Comcast broadcast our commercials?

Perhaps we paid to run them on there. Glad to see us putting some more effort into marketing.

well, since its in Lynchburg, I think they're trying to get people to GO to the games, not watch on TV

The video in the commercial is great, I just don't like the voice over.

Hint, hint.

FWIW- I prefer #2, though #3 has a nice shot of that fade-route TD at Wake

You're right.
Still, nice to see some actual highlights from a football season.

15 seconds into commercial #1, there are lots of empty seats. Wait, that's the band's section...It must have been sometime after the first quarter of the game.
BJ explodes in 3....2....1....

The more I see it the more I hate the voice overs. I love having the commercials, but it's like the voice over is trying too hard.

I was gonna mention the dancing. As in:
great shot of the fade route in the Wake game, but you have to put up with some ludicrous whatever-you-call those "moves"

I agree...I am not going to get on here and pretend I have an awesome voice or anything, but I know I could do a better job and I know others that work at the station that could do better...or the late great nick pierce...haha...
oh well, we have always said we wanted commercials and they are good to have out there...they will get better in time I am sure

I know of a voice over artist (or two if a female voice would be considered) in Texas who could cut the voice tracks for free and e-mail them over for any future endeavors.
I'm just glad to see the marketing efforts in general. This is how we build the concept of the Flames being the hometown team for Lynchburg.

I agree Sly...its just good to see some on-air advertising...I haven't actually seen them on tv yet...but I am glad to see it...there is no reason why the city can't get behind Liberty athletics....its a great place for parents to bring the whole family and not have to worry about any crazy drunk kids or anything...its division I athletics without the beer....

No, but it's always snuck in, and it's in the tailgate before the game and in parties after the games.
