While the football game was exciting, I am especially writing to express my sincere apology and regret to you, your president and all Tennessee fans for the incident which took place on our campus as your team buses were approaching Tiger Stadium.

The money from this game is all going to be donated to the hurricane relief fund.

So we got our night game, but not on Saturday night. Our preference was to play on Sunday night if not Saturday. We weren't going to move this game (to another location).

We got our night game, but not on Saturday night. We'll have to be like the football players and focus.

I don't think they could have gotten the people together to play a game by Saturday. They're used to having a whole year to prepare for a game. We never talked to them, and they seemed more interested in getting the Saints for a game.
