Gus,
I heard La Tech was invited to a bowl but had asked the bowl to wait until they heard from some other bowl. When the dominoes started falling with Oklahoma, Georgia and some other teams as I understood it, ended up taking spots that La Tech was hoping to get, and when that happened, the bowl invitation had been given to another team. I agree they should have been going bowling, the guys on the ESPN show last night seemed to blame them, they should have accepted the first bid, they did a disservice to their players and school, but I'm guessing they were thinking they could have got a better bowl for their players, I guess the lesson is take the one that asks you.
Heck a Georgia/FSU match up would have been nice, although it might not have been a win for us. But the way they play against crappy teams, they could loose to Northern Illinois too.
