I guess one of the bowls didn't count in your book. We transitioned to D1 in 88 becoming a full member in 89 and went to the independence bowl in 90. We actually left the Big West in 96 I believe. We joined in 93?
Look Tech doesn't have a huge market, or a huge athletic budget. We don't sell out the stadium or make bowl games every year. If you want to point that out fine, but the schools that are up for a spot in CUSA-MWC have their flaws too. Very few of us think that we are a shoe in, and the ones who do are constantly derided for it, but to say we don't have a shot is just not being realistic with yourself. If you are a Tech grad, why would you choose to join a Tech message board just to bash Tech?
If you are going to join the realist crowd on this board, you need to make sure your facts are correct. Incorrect facts just blends you in with all of the other trolls who constantly come on here to tell us to prepare for the Sunbelt because it's where we belong. Good luck to you and hopefully I will see you at a game this fall.
Ole Miss is in the SEC. They have a budget about 3 times bigger than Tech's. They pay their coaches over twice as much as we do. They have the benefit of getting any recruit they want over us. It is a big deal to blow them out in their stadium. A bad Ole Miss is still better than a good ULL.
If you're a deputy, don't you depend on my taxes?
Anyway, you are one of two things:
1. Sunbelt Troll
2. Tech grad with higher loyalties to other (possibly in-state, possibly AQ-conference) teams.
Either way, I don't have much respect for your posture here on the board. I'm glad that you can't play every day. Of course, I predicted that you'd blow-off like the wind...because you're a troll.

I smell tiggerhawk. The subpar trolling skills are a dead giveaway.
