Matt Park was on with Dave Benz on KNBR tonight.  Benz grew up in Cuse and went Oswego.  Park did 6-8 minute interview (details below) but the highlight was Benz asking the audience to chime in with commentary on SYR and the issue in general.  Should JB stay?  Go?  Etc.

For those of you who don't know about KNBR...KNBR is a 50,000 watt station that can essentially be heard up and down the West Coast and in parts of the West in general.  It used to be NBC's West Coast radio operations.  So KNBR has a big audience.

When Benz returned from the break where he had asked for callers to call in on SYR subject, he said: "Well, we'll scrap the Syracuse thing because I can't get a call on it.  Hard to believe but not one person wants to talk on this subject so let's move to the NFL."

Could not get a call on the subject.

Parks comments:
-JB let's assistants do their jobs; not a micro-manager
-Talked about the absence of a shoot around because Pearl sprained his ankle before a game in one and hence, no more shoot arounds
-JB not a friendly or real warm person; it's all business in his camp
-Talked about how all SU practices to this day are the exact same as they were 20+ years ago
-JB, and by extension, the program...creature of habit
-Stay in the same hotels (brand) on the road, etc.
-Said he wished JB had not said he had not heard the tape; saw it as a real mistake
-Said that was who JB was and he should be who he is

-Said he believes JB completely when he says he did not know
