Ouch. So what's the backlash in Lubbock now over his firing? Are people rioting?

A lot of the people I know were close to rioting (per se), but I think the initial shock has worn off. It has been really quiet except for the filing of legal papers every now and then. There are some people selling "Team Leach" t-shirts near the campus.
