Tommy Bowden State Quotations

I see that as a strong asset. Also, he has strong ties to the state of South Carolina, and that should help us in recruiting.

I was very impressed with Billy Napier when he worked on our staff in 2003 and 2004. He will be among the youngest full-time coaches in Division I next year, and I look at that as a strong asset. He was a big reason South Carolina State had a very successful season, especially on the offensive side of the ball. He will also be an asset to us in recruiting.

He's got a background here in the state. He brings a lot of instate knowledge and this is an awful important state from a recruiting standpoint.

We've beaten Florida State two of the last three times we've played them and we beat Miami down there in overtime and lost in triple overtime at home. I like the direction that we're going.

Bear Bryant made the statement that it's better to be lucky than good, and I think you have to be lucky. We weren't lucky. That's one thing about this year's team - we never, ever gave up.

You like to see the state be a success.
