re: Someone explain Tech's misfortune to me please

NOLA media reported saying LT was in-line to
get an invite to the Liberty Bowl before No. Illinois screwed everything up
and Oklahoma knocked all the temas down a notch. Independence Bowl
had offered & wanted an answer earlier but LT was holding out for the
Liberty.

This leads me to believe that the LT AD thought he had a really good chance of getting Liberty bid. Again, would you have made a different decision?

I keep seeing this NIU screwed it up crap coming from the Tech end but that doesnt even make sense because Kent State was even more likely to knock OU out of the BCS.

After UCLA lost to Stanford on Friday the odds of the MAC winner or Boise getting a BCS bid were very high.

I'm sorry but that AD is complete moron for being "shocked" (their words) a non AQ made it to a BCS game.

ESPN talked about it being very likely ALL damn week. This was not some major turn of events that came from nowhere.

The Tech AD wasn't making a great impression when talking to potential bowl games

that wouldn't be a shock considering he didn't leave a good impression on the A&M brass either.
