At this point we play them as much as we play PSU, Miami, VT, or WVU. Many if not all of them have forgotten they hated us too. SU has a lot of NJ based alums (myself included) who just loath the school and it’s fan base. Schiano has me by 5 or 6 years, but we grew up in the same town and went to the same high school. Pernetti too, who was a senior my freshman year. It is a recruiting issue if not a head to head battle. Duce said he knows a lot of guys on that team and he said it because Brian Higgins asked him about it. Strickland decided this was the game to come back for. It means something, especially to the Jersey people. The Pats don’t play the Giants often, but Giants fans hated Tom Brady and the organization that took their coaches. Nothing sweeter than not having lost to them in those two SBs. [/QUOTE]
