The Arizona State Sun Devils are in the midst of rebuilding Sun Devil Stadium, a project that is being spread over three years and will cost $256 million.

Head coach Todd Graham knows that his goal of being a top-five program nationally cannot be accomplished without having some of the finest facilities in the country. Needless to say, he's a bit excited for the renovations. However, based on his quotes below, it seems that he may be a little too excited.

"I can't wait for you to go through that new facility," said Graham, according to Doug Haller of AZ Central. "No one will have a better commitment and a better facility to do what we do. It will be high tech. Oregon sets the bar right now with facilities. They won't have a better facility than we will. We're not building moats and crap like that, but it will fit us. It will make a bold statement that, yes, we are committed to building a top-five program in the nation."

If Graham thinks he can compete with Oregon's facilities, Nike founder Phil Knight may have something to say about that.
