Just caught a great interview with HCSS with Mike Francesa. I started listening a few seconds late so I missed the beginning but knew it was our guy when he was giving Francesa his résumé.
 
He talked about his coaching stops and Mike asked him a lot about Stanford. Mike asked him about the ACC challenge ahead and playing in places like Death Valley and at FSU and HCSS brought up the Dome and said his, "we're gonna lock the door behind them and try to beat the hell out of them."
 
Mike talked a little about Pugh and Nassib and of course HCSS sung their praises as athletes and players.
 
Mike asked if we had a qb and Shafer said that we have a couple of guys who will be competing.
 
He also talked about being very proud of the Pinstripe win and repping NY State. He said beating Geno a third time was a challenge but he said the defense's motto was "three strikes and you're out"-- meaning three downs and out.
 
He really emphasized SU's football and academic tradition, as did Mike.
 
He also said that he was intimidated by JB but he's found him to be a great guy and golfed with him recently.
 
He plugged the Penn State game and hyped it up.
 
He mentioned his new coaches and said that he's going to let his coaches coach.
 
I'd be more detailed but iPad typing sucks.

EDIT:   I'm off the iPad now...so I can add that he did a great job emphasizing the program and the school without seeming like he memorized talking points.   His plug of the PSU game was great, pointing out that it's an old school rivalry being renewed and how some of his coaches like Rob Moore played against Penn State and really want to win this game badly.
 
He also talked about how getting players who can run is important and a big emphasis...just noticed that Orange79 added a podcast link, so I'm not sure why I'm typing this...
