Minnesota's Jerry Kill retires effective immediately, for health reasons. 
QuoteCoach Kill announced today that he is retiring effective immediately due to health reasons. Tracy Claeys has been named interim head coach.

You gotta know this is something bad and immediate, given that Minny plays to defend The Jug on Saturday, and he's not even going to pretend to coach.

It's really a crying shame.  Kill has been one of the most effective coaches in college the last few years, while still being a class act.  CFB will miss him.

Wait there is a Big 12 game on Thursday night? In know TCU and WV recently were in conferences that did that on a regular basis but it sure is weird. Or at least I cannot remember the last time that happened.

I think the weakest Power 5 conference has to play one on Thursdays once the conference season starts.

There have been occasional Thursday B12 games for at least a couple of years (not including T-day).   The Pokes and Tech played on a Thursday in September last year.  I think there was more than one the year before.

E:  I assume this one is getting more attention than usual because of where TCU is ranked.

I think I remember seeing Thursday night games from every conference but the big 10.  :hmm:

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Well that might explain a Thursday game by the PAC 12 but I don't see how that is relevant to this situation :P

Speaking of West Virginia where is Spicey? He hardly comments here anymore. Losing faith in Holgorsen?

It would be sad for Jerry to die in the middle of the season like this.

Yeah sorry to hear about that. I hope he recovers.

He's had a number of epileptic seizures over the last couple of years.  I get the feeling he was just informed of a more serious development.  I sure hope resigning from the stress of coaching turns the tide on whatever it is.

Bo had to quit because of his ticker, and lived for 27 more years.  Let's hope Jerry is as lucky.

Might have lived longer if he hadn't gone to work for the Tigers.

If what I have heard about his firing from Detroit is true, it was a shitty way to be let go.  Not that there is a good way to be fired.

Well I guess we now know who Dana thinks should win the Heisman

I cannot give WV too much shit for that though. They did 13 points better than Texas did.

This Texas Tech vs. Oklahoma State game is a Big 12 classic.
