best line:

"Those people criticizing, that's why they stay on TV," he said. "They're making statements, and if they're not getting your attention, they're not going to be on TV. I don't worry about that."

I agree with him.

Whether they deserve it or not, they're in it.

In our case, according to Brandon, it's not like we lobbied for it, and it doesn't sound like VT did either. Their players said they were surprised as hell to learn they were going to a BCS game after the stomping they took Saturday.

The whiners need to direct their attention at the BCS and the bowl committees.

Hoke did kind of lobby for it. He did make mention several times in news conferences that having 10 wins in a conference like the B1G is deserving of a bcs bid. I don't mind what he said and it was mostly a direct answer to a question, but he did lobby a little.

ah, yeah. I thought he was directly asked the question if he thought we deserved a BCS bid.

I didn't really consider that "lobbying" although I'm sure the whiny MSU fans would. They probably expect him to bash his own team and insist that MSU get the bid.
