One of Northwestern's great ironies will be that Pat Fitzgerald's last good decision was hiring David Braun.

Most days I would agree, but I’m assuming Braun called that fake punt and while I like boldness, that was a bad call, dude.

You don't like the idea of a german tight end, throwing a fake punt pass, deep in your own end, with the game on the line?

“German tight end” sounds like the badly scrolled marketing on a bootleg DVD you buy in an alley.

I can excuse the call for the fake, but the play that was called was garbage.
