BOISE, Idaho -- Three days after one of the most painful losses in the history of the Boise State program, the Broncos got another kick in the teeth when TCU announced Monday it was leaving the Mountain West Conference for the Big East starting in 2012.While TCU's leap to the Big East wasn't as stunning as Boise State's 34-31 overtime loss to Nevada, it was the final move that effectively muted Boise State's reasons for leaving the WAC in June.
Welcome to the WAC 2.0.
With plenty to remain dour about, Boise State coach Chris Petersen refused to let the news of TCU's departure bother him.
"I have no feeling on (TCU leaving) whatsoever, not even kind of (a feeling)," Petersen said. "The only thing I think right now is that we're still going to be in a better league than we're in right now, and that's no disrespect to anybody.
"I think we took the teams that we are always fighting with and put them in a different league with some good teams over there. And I think the fans are anxious to see some new competition. ... I think overall it's still better for us. I think it will be a really good conference."
