I am a TECH fan, and go to as many games as I can, but unless you are affiliated with TECH, how many of us can go to Boise, Fresno, and Hawaii. I have attended every away game in the past two years that was within budget. Tulsa, Auburn, SMU of course I went to S'Port and all home games. I am disappointed because Thanksgiving plans are changed. Can't make Monday game. I realize the SunBelt is not as strong as the WAC, but Troy had LSU beat, beat Missouri and North Texas is featured in SI this week. Regardless of prestige, a more regional conference would suit our fans budget, and would increase attendance and improve our record by only playing one BCS school a year. It is not realistic to think that TECH, our school, can defeat Miami, Tenn and Auburn in the same year. We scored more on Auburn's defense than Georgia did.
