  We propose a "Higgs impostor" model for the 125 GeV boson, $X$, recently
discovered at the LHC. It is a technipion, $\eta_T$, with $I^G J^{PC} = 0^-
0^{-+}$ expected in this mass region in low-scale technicolor. Its coupling to
pairs of standard-model gauge bosons are dimension-five operators whose
strengths are determined within the model. It is easy for the gluon fusion rate
$\sigma B(gg \to \eta_T \to \gamma\gamma)$ to agree with the measured one, but
$\eta_T \to ZZ^*,\,WW^*$ are greatly suppressed relative to the standard-model
Higgs rates. This is a crucial test of our proposal. In this regard, we assess
the most recent data on $X$ decay modes, with a critical discussion of $X \to
ZZ^* \to 4\ell$. In our model the $\eta_T$ mixes almost completely with the
isovector $\pi^0_T$, giving two similar states, $\eta_L$ at 125 Gev and
$\eta_H$ higher, possibly in the range 170--190 Gev. Important consequences of
this mixing are (1) the only associated production of et al is via $\to \to W
\eta_L$, and this could be sizable; (2) $\eta_H$ may soon be accessible in $gg
\to \eta_H \to \gamma\gamma$; and (3) LSTC phenomenology at the LHC is
substantially modified.
