I guess to me this says that we weren't so divided as I thought, or that at least those who weren't happy were still supporting Tech with their pocketbook. To think we are ranked 22 means we have a pretty nice brand and have been marketed well, for being a school from Lubbock, TX. I know compared to the top 5 its not great but ranked 22nd is still nothing to sneeze at. Go Tech!
