Fran's Game 12 Press Conference | Miami

Coach Brown was asked about Kyle saying coming to Syracuse was the best decision of his life. His response: “Outside of my wife and kids it was one of the best decisions of my life too.”

"I don't know what it takes to be ranked anymore." While discussing Syracuse's preparation for No. 8 Miami, Fran Brown shares that he has a bone to pick with the AP Top 25 selection system.

With Syracuse playing No. 8 Miami in the Dome Saturday after Thanksgiving, Fran Brown gave his pitch for students to come back to campus early. “It’s a day party,” Brown said. “Come to the day party and watch Syracuse play Miami.”

I appreciate Fran questioning the rankings, etc. Him lobbying for us will help us out.

House money against Miami.

Also, this made me lol.

"What's the pitch to come to the game" (paraphrasing)

"What else are you doing? Thanksgiving Thursday. Black Friday is Friday"

LMAOOOOOOOO

He called it "the day party". He's the best.
 
Did Fran sound annoyed to anyone else at the question about the injuries or the fact that it was asked by Brent Axe? Or both? Yikes.
I think he didn’t want to divulge anything. Nobody asked about Haynes?

I think if UCONN was more of a decisive win then we would be ranked. The inability to play a complete game hurts us here.

I don’t think the voters care about “how” you win as much “if” you win. At least for the teams that aren’t in playoff contention.
 
I just read an article on Mario’s pre Syracuse press conference
it was a little odd in that when he talks about our offense he says how great our running back is, how great Gadsden is and how we have a great physical Offensive line.almost always refers to a position or a number, only Gadsden is mentioned as a name cause he is a local kid.
Never mentions Kyle or how good our quarterback is - except to say in a late question that this game is not about Cam vs Kyle.
i got the impression that he really doesn’t know a lot about us yet.
or what he knows is just from press clippings
Maybe that’s normal.
i just get the feeling he does not think we are great competition

he also talks about the classic Miami Syracuse game at the dome in 92 where they barely beat us when Chris Gedney was stopped at the 3rd yard line as time ran out.
Mario was at that game.

He doesn’t want to answer (literally no coach does) but he’s a straight shooter so he answers anyways lol.

It is Brent, he could have just generalized it and asked is any of the injured players would be back. Not go one by one down the list. I do wish Fran would take a page out of Dino’s playbook and not answer. I’d be okay with that.

I don’t think they watch the games, in all seriousness… they take the prior weeks poll and adjust losses down and wins up. I had the YouTube TV quad box (excellent feature) going Saturday and caught the Boise/Wyoming game on one screen. Someone ranked Boise as high as 4! No one who watched them struggle with Wyoming would have them that high.
