New 2015 MAC Commercial
I must say, the new MAC commercial is 1000x better than the dad and kids in the diner.

If they just ran 30 seconds of silence with the letters MAC on the screen, then that would be better than the dad and his kids commercial.

It would probably be broadcast as MAC Conference.

That commercial is so bad in many different ways.

13 pole dancers wearing authentic school jerseys would do "wonders" for the conference!

RE: New 2015 MAC Commercial
The new MACTION commercial ***SUCKS***
Because we are modest?
Because we are humble?
Because we are polite?
What to we say? Nothing at all!
It's literally the worst conference commercial I have ever seen. The FCS conferences better self publicize than us..
For fricks sake. We had several NCAA individual track and field champions last year. We had Kent to the College World Series, NIU crash the BCS, Akron win it all in Soccer, CMU put up a #1 draft pick and Buffalo put up a #5.
We have some damn good schools in the conference. Miami is an Ivy, UB is a major Research institution, Ohio is a great program.
But we tout neither our conferences Academic nor Athletic accomplishments. It's a waste of air time!
Whoever green lit that pile of horse **** commercial should be docked a months pay.

You are right. Yet it is still better than the goofball uncle and his 1950s niece and nephew in a corntastic diner. It's a miracle that didn't get picked up for parody by the Internet at large.

RE: New 2015 MAC Commercial
The new MAC commercial is the worst.
It looks like a production company made a generic sports commercial to package up and sell to various high schools. Their sales pitch is that its their cheapest option because its all plug and play- the video is done, the script is written, all you have to do is add the name of your conference, record the voice over, and you're good to go.
It's like using clip art in a ppt presentation. Can we not afford our own licensing fees? It's beyond embarrassing.

I don't like it either. Way too vanilla and self-deprecating.

I disagree MAC Lord... A commercial which basically says "Because were a small time nobody" is way more open to parody than grandpa at the table..

RE: New 2015 MAC Commercial
It's sports-oriented, so it's a different take. The old man at the diner commercial had a hot chick in it, so it had it going for it. But it was like a (poorly made) student video, so that didn't make the MAC look good.
The new one takes an angle on us not being known on the road, you may not know about us -- but MACtion speaks louder than words. I like the take. I can understand the dislike of it embracing "nobody knows us" too much, but I like the angle in concept. In the end, I like it better than the old one, despite the cute gal in it.

I think it is pretty good except for one part. That would be the part of practicing on the frozen tundra. How many MAC teams actually have to do that anymore? Don't a good portion have indoor facilities now?

I agree expect that the previous commercial was somehow even worse.

RE: New 2015 MAC Commercial
I thought we had the one in between this one and the diner?
The one with the different color threads/sports ending up with the MAC logo/embroidered patch.
I liked that one OK. This new one not so much.
