Reading the comments on Twitter and on the message boards after the Texas A&M game, I was struck by the fact that Tech fans didn’t truly grasp the meaning of the Texas A&M loss. The overall response was “that stunk, but Texas A&M is a good team, if we beat Nebraska on Sunday it will be a good tournament.” While true, the people posting comments like that were missing the point. It’s not about losing to Texas A&M. It’s about the fact that the loss to Texas A&M prevented the Hokies from playing UCLA and instead matched them up with Nebraska. That simple change in the schedule could potentially cost Virginia Tech come Selection Sunday.
