  OK so it could be something else, but the Higgs Boson is still the simplest theory that fits the data.

  If one claims that "techni-quarks" combine to make the "techni-Higgs" then the obvious question is what about the other combinations -- which must give rise to more such Higgs-like particles. We've seen only one new particle and that makes technicolor very unlikely. It might be possible to beat the model into shape to match observations, but that would make it very contrived. So, while not impossible to find some weird model, most typical models of technicolor are ruled out.
