Get your A-J Media Digital Subscription now!It’s probably a moot point, but if bowls had to reach deep enough to invite Texas Tech with a 5-7 record this season, Tech athletic director Kirby Hocutt’s not sure the school would accept.
“Personally, I’m not a fan of 5-7 teams getting an invitation to a bowl game,” Hocutt said Sunday. “I think bowl game invitations are a reward for a successful football season, so that being said, if that was an opportunity that presented itself, I guess it would require a conversation, but it wouldn’t be a conversation I would be excited to have.”
