"It'll get rid of the have-nots."

Not in Malone Stadium.

In that case, we could have called 'Cuse to see if they would be willing able to host our team the Saturday before T'giving, in exchange for for a return game in JAS in 2011 or 12.

This would have been the PERFECT year to play a 13th game at someone's house -- we already have 6.5 home games this year, and empty slots on our OOC slate for the next 2 seasons. (And a last minute deal with a desperate Syracuse might have given us a chance to knock off another AQ in Ruston.)

I know there's a lot more involved in these matters than what I'm / we're privy to. But an only speak as a fan. And as a Tech football fan, I want to see MORE Tech football.

I posted this on another thread but thought it might be better suited for this discussion:

I always think what if we had started our current push 10 years earlier...would we be right in the middle of all this instead of Boise? I truly believe we could ahve been on par with TCU and Boise. Hindsight is 20/20, but I think we will miss out on a golden opportunity (getting into an AQ conference) but I do like our current direction and the focus of our administration. I think we are alot better off than multiple have nots.

Not hindsight. We knew we were in a bad position the day we heard SMU, Rice, and Tulsa were gone to CUSA. Our leadership knew it was coming a year before it happened. They did NOTHING.
