This really hurts Big XII alot. Leech gave the conference some good credibility. After this and KU fiasco. And Big 10 most likely taking MIZZOU. The conference looks like it might be dying. Just let the other ones carve out the conference before it fully turns to the bad part of town. I say: MIZZOU, Nebraska and one other go to Big OU and OKIE State go to SEC Texas, TAMU, Colorado and Utah go out west to PAC. Baylor and Tech go CUSA The rest can go either MW,MAC or whatever Leach made Tech better, but gave the conference enough credibility that it's a loss now? Seriously? That's a rather big stretch. Its a factor in the big picture. Big XII was never glued together. Now with all the stuff happing the last few months, cracks are starting to come to the surface. The once nice neigborhood is starting to look like crap. With the good possibility of MIZZOU leaving, that takes out a big market that honestly verry few schools could plug, I do not even know if Utah/BYU with Salt Lake could plug it. Its not a healthy conference. The Leech stuff is just another ailment.

If he didn't mind being an assistant head coach, I think Nebraska could use Leech as a offensive coordinator.
Our defense is excellent. The problem is that our offense BLOWS. Because our quarterback SUCKS.

I've not heard anything along those lines before, and I'm curious to know where you heard it. Because, for now I don't see it. I think you're looking way too into it if you think one coach being fired is going to have such a profound effect, especially considering the conferences two powerhouses (of which Tech has never been) are still two of the free pass schools. If the Big East could survive it's two biggest and most successful teams leaving (either Virginia Tech and/or Miami had been champions or co champions of that conference 14 years out of 17 before they left), Mike Leach leaving isn't going to matter that much, if at all, to the entire Big 12.

Damn, this game is exciting. Idaho with the touchdown with four seconds left, and now they're an extra point away from tying the game.
And it looks like they're going for the win instead.

Idaho get it!
But there's a penalty, and Bowling Green could return it for the win.

Some people on Twitter confirmed what I thought - the Idaho coach sounds like an 80s WWF wrestler.

If he didn't mind being an assistant head coach, I think Nebraska could use Leech as a offensive coordinator. Our defense is excellent. The problem is that our offense BLOWS. Because our quarterback SUCKS. Make me a deal. If you take Leach, take Taylor "I throw 5+ interceptions a game, but still get 1st string starter" Potts.

We'll take them both if you take Zach Lee and a ham sandwich.
