Skip Bertman State Quotations

Fresno State is one of the top teams we're looking at. I think our last conversation with them was pretty positive, but I wouldn't say it's done until ESPN finishes talking with them. We need ESPN to cooperate and pay them some money.

We feel good about the game being next Saturday, but the other day we thought we were going to be playing North Texas this Saturday. You never know. We think things might lighten up between now and then. But with the information we have now, I feel real good about the LSU-Arizona State game staying where it is.

We feel good about the (ASU) game being next Saturday, but the other day we thought we were going to be playing North Texas this Saturday, ... You never know. We think things might lighten up between now and then. But with the information we have now, I feel real good about the LSU-Arizona State game staying where it is.

We don't want to interfere with the recovery in any way. And there are no hotel rooms in Baton Rouge for the Arizona State team, for the SEC officials, for the media or for the ESPN crew.

They opted for a different setting. We would have to pay Fresno State more money than the other two.

If North Carolina State offers him $2 million, I think John should interview there because he's not going to get $2 million here. That would be outrageous.

The football team feels just like you do, just like we all do. They want to help. And hopefully, against Arizona State (on Sept. 10), that will be a time - after some recovery and some mourning - when the athletics can once again act as a bonding agent to get everybody back together on a positive note.
