Fran's Game 1 Press Conference | Tennessee

[OrangeTarheel]

Yeah, that would make sense if it's required by ESPN.

I do know that university is looking under every stone for revenue streams. Not sure if this has been posted yet, but, as an example, they will extend beer/alcohol sales to the end of the 3rd quarter - but only at limited stands.

Then I will extend my drinking to help the cause

 

[OrangeXtreme]

It's free again.

Either SU got the message, or it was a coding error.

Brown heaped praise on Tennesse's quarterback Joey Aguilar along with the Vol's running back group and their talented receiving group.

"They're going to go fast." Brown when talking about Tennessee's offense and the dangers they present.

"Steve's ready to go. He's been like that since he was at Bergen Catholic." Brown on SU's starting quarterback Steve Angeli.

Brown says it's been cool coaching his son Fran Brown Jr., but it might not be as cool for him, because "he's on his butt" about certain things. Brown added that he hopes he has the same energy he has when he was six (the last time he coached him).

"Orange is Orange. My guys are going to be playing in a packed stadium." Brown with a lighthearted joke when talking about playing in the Mercedes Benz Dome.

Brown said that Steve Angeli has taken his game to "another level" since being named the starter. Brown also added that backup Rickie Collins has done the same.

Fran very aware that he does not want to give the Vols info. they can use & definitely not any bulletin board material.

Fran is feeling spicy today

 

[JeremyCuse]

Some of these questions are absurd and why the local media takes a beating a lot on here.

We are lucky to have you. Thank you for your service.

A bit but I think he can do better and be a bit more upbeat. I think Fran needs to get some sleep. He's cranky.

 

[CbusCuse]

Did anybody ask about a depth chart or did I miss it?

 

[JeremyCuse]

No of course not, to busy asking questions Fran has answered about a dozen times already.

I liked that Coach was testy today; and I hope that the team is that way on Saturday.

When I was a freshman at SU, beer sales went until the end of the 3rd quarter.

At some point (maybe my 1st junior year?) it had moved to the end of halftime.

Might have been my fault. Might have been the fault of the unruly West Virginia fans in 1993. I guess we'll never know.

Has to be the worst questions asked I have heard for a game week press conference.

Not even a Colgate game

Honestly you would have thought this was like the opening press conference a month ago or something. Brutally bad that was somewhat saved by the last few questions and Axe actually ya know asking about the game.

Ha. So not in Chips section!

Did they ask him if he ever saw "Terminator?"

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I get this feeling he does not like not having a packed house.

Well... that's a tough one because winner's get packed houses.

 

[mlbball99]

how do the reporters not ask 1 question about how is the injury/health status of the team after camp and heading into Week 1. It’s probably all we care about in the pressers.

I don’t need to hear what gives Fran motivation going into week 1.

 

[NineOneSeven]

And some people thought that other people would pay to listen to the presser?

I could think of 10 billion things I’d pay for before that.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Vids up.

He's a university employee, so tuition is free, no?

Don't you have to be an employee of the school 3 years before access to that benefit?

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Discounted.

Syracuse offers a 90 percent tuition waiver for the dependents of employees at Brown’s salary after they’ve worked for the school for three years. Brown is in his second year as head coach.
