people war
People stumbled into the war by making mistakes.
additional apparel ask both create deal ends fighting increase looking program pulling ticket
We just did a ticket increase and an apparel deal with Under Armour. Some of that would go to it. We're looking at fighting it from both ends -- pulling from these additional revenues we had to create to keep our program where we all want it to be and go out and ask donors.
appreciate complete cooperate patience releasing sure together work worked
We wanted to cooperate and work together with other institutions to make sure everything was in place before releasing the schedule. We appreciate our Auburn fans' patience as we worked to complete the 2006 schedule.
academic care facility fix managing share taken
We've got to fix that. Some of that is being taken care of by managing the facility and reprioritization. It's a multi-use facility. We share that with the university's academic mission.

We were able to avoid playing five consecutive conference games in the middle of the schedule. Secondly, it allowed us to have our first SEC home game in September instead of the first week in October.

We're a lot closer than we were, but we still have a lot of work to do. Everyone is trying diligently to get to an end where we can make a decision.
deal giving great hitchcock love meant passing people prayers thoughts true truly
We are very saddened by the passing of Mr. Billy. A true gentleman, he was a very compassionate and giving person who meant a great deal to this university. He had a great love for Auburn and Auburn people and will truly be missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Hitchcock family.

We're not looking to do anything other than to look forward and move forward.

Well, maybe not worse than this right now. I was working with children, and sometimes they have a higher capacity than adults.

We may have some blanks to fill, but I'm confident we'll do that.
best decision deliberate diligently explore options rush sure
We're going to diligently look at our options and make the best decision for Auburn. We're going to try not to rush anything. We'll be deliberate and keep things moving, but we're going to explore and make sure we know what's best for Auburn.

We've asked the facilities division to give us some information, what they think is reasonable that we could expect this to cost.
eventually replace scoreboard stay update
What we'd want to eventually do, if we stay in the coliseum, is replace all the seats, have a new scoreboard and do the things to update it.
base best came create decision demand excitement ok people seats sister top wanting
We're going to make the best decision that doesn't put us at a competitive disadvantage with our sister institutions. I want to base it on what came here in 1999 when we were top 10 in the country. That's where we're headed. It's OK to have a demand that outweighs the supply. It's OK for us to not have enough seats to create a demand and excitement and people wanting to attend.
