We're going to go to San Antonio and set up our operations. The players will have a few days off to try to deal with their families, deal with their situations at home and try to get their families to San Antonio, and then we'll go to work next week to prepare for the season. We're talking to the league office and looking at conflict dates with certain sites, and trying to figure out what we're going to do.

We decided to leave as late as possible on Sunday to give everyone enough time to take care of their personal situations and to ensure that everyone's family was out of harm's way.

The only good thing that came out of it was this. I'm over it, past it, moving on. It's gone.

Mr. Benson did write a message Sunday night to the commissioner expressing his concern about the incident that occurred following the game. It was an emotional and distressing situation and very unfortunate for him and his family. His comments to the commissioner relayed his frustration and at this time he has not yet made a decision on his plans for this weekend's game.

Our plans for flying home will be determined once we see what kind of condition the city is in. We are all hoping for the best for the city and the people that remain.

Players' families, that was our first priority. By the time we were wheels up on Sunday, the entire organization was out of harm's way, and the team was headed to San Jose.

We can say is LSU an option, yeah, but is it an option with them? That's the next hurdle. We haven't crossed that hurdle yet.

We'll play it by ear. We'll be talking to the league, and by the early part of next week we should know something about where we're playing.

We'll load up as much as we can, and get as much as we can back to San Antonio and make an office out of it.

We're not going to have any comment until tomorrow.

We don't know the extent of damage to our homes. That's the most unsettling part.

We don't know the answer to that question. Based on what city officials are saying, the future doesn't look too bright for being able to play games in New Orleans. But we just don't know right now.

We just don't know yet. We really don't.

It was an emotional and distressing situation and very unfortunate for him and his family.

As of right now the damage assessment is not complete. We are speaking with the league and we will make a plan as soon as we know the complete ramifications and all of our options.

That seems to be a potential plan that has been discussed, if it can be worked out.
