The ongoing construction of the stadium has continued at a rapid pace, and we're extremely pleased with the progress. It's projected to be done on time. But, in moving the San Jose State game to Spartan Stadium, we feel it gives us that extra week to assure ourselves that the stadium will be 100 percent ready.

The ongoing decrease in the number of people smoking in California is a major public health achievement. With California adults smoking 25 percent less than the rest of the nation, our state continues to benefit from lower rates of tobacco-related illnesses.

The only alternative is that 100 percent of this gets paid by the existing tax base.

The players who've left here aren't as successful as they were here. I think Ray gets the people around him to play 30 percent better than they are.

The playoffs are the last thing on our mind right now. We just want to come out, play every night and give 100 percent for out fans and just for ourselves.
