Secondly, Tech was a really bad football team in 2013, the same year we lost to Tulane. When Tech lost to ODU in 2014, Tech was CUSA's West Division champion. Win that game at ODU, and the Conference USA championship game is played 2 weeks later in Ruston instead of Huntington, WVA. It could have changed everything.
But once again, Tech couldn't close the deal, even as a heavy favorite. So we were all left saying "WTF"?
