Explain to me how he blew the game? YOUR coach is the one that called that absolute brain dead fake punt to give us the ball under 3 min on your side of the field in a tie game. Please explain to me how Fitz blew it?

Dude, nobody knows or understands how, but Fitz is always on the losing end of close games that his team lowkey had no business being competitive in anyways.

This is revisionist history that could only be believed if you enrolled after Covid. He was famous for winning one score games before the wheels fell off (mainly because of recruiting).

I think we won the breakup and I'm not upset he's gone but I think Northwestern fans have really veered into Making Shit Up Territory.

tbf I was also there before covid but not that long. all the upperclassmen had good stories to tell, but i didn't get to watch anything good except that orange bowl season while stuck at home.
