Vice President for University Athletics Lisa Love
On playing Texas in the Holiday Bowl:
"We are just so excited, finishing the year as Pac-10 Co-Champs and 10-2 and successful last night in our very important rival game. Playing a perennial power like the University of Texas, December 27th in the Holiday Bowl, which by the way, is wonderfully hosted by that committee. On all fronts for our football program and our fans and people who have been faithful and loyal for such a long time. This is a great step forward. This is exactly what we wanted to do. We are very pleased to be mentioned in the same breathe as a program like Texas."
On the Sun Devils not playing in the Fiesta Bowl:
"We have been part of that dialogue, seriously part of that dialogue. People haven't mentioned BCS sentences specifically with Fiesta Bowl without having a profile that has Arizona State included. That in itself is clearly a movement in the direction we want to go. I think at the end of the day, you would love to be playing in those big money bowls, there is no question about it. But where we are in the Holiday Bowl, against the University of Texas, is terrific. We look at it only as the right direction."
