Tech was way too satisfied with making it to the ACC. The AD thought
it had reached the pinnacle. It feels like Tech is always lagging behind. Poppycocking the SEC was a seminal moment. That was a chance to jump ahead, and this is not second guessing. Many people wanted Tech to pursue an SEC opportunity at that time, but unfortunately, those people were not the decision makers. Yes, I believe the SEC wanted Tech instead of Missouri.
