If we never play the Huskies in football ever again that would be great.

They never appreciated the fact they upgraded to D-1 and got to be in a BCS league off the work of SU/VPI/BC/WVU/Pitt/Miami.

I don't know. I sort of like beating the tar out of them. We can't win by too much on Saturday for me.

more snippets from his press conference

Edsall: our players suck

Edsall: I am great, why am I stuck with these stiffs?

Edsall: I have nothing but great memories of Syracuse, so apparently my memory is shot and I forgot about being passed over by Coach P for the head coaching job and hating them ever since

If you don't want to be there and you're so miserable, Randy, you could probably get your job back as Director of Football Research for the Lions.

He's an unfunny version of Debbie Downer.
