Facing Fitz not that big a deal for Northwestern team chasing bigger goals

I figured that Saturday's game against former head coach Pat Fitzgerald and Michigan State would be emotional Armageddon for Northwestern fans. Yet as the showdown approaches, it just doesn't seem to be that big of a deal anymore.

Ryan Walters said hello to Purdue tonight. He is Washington's DC and Purdue's former HC, coaching the Boiler's as recently as 2024, before being fired.

And that dude was fired up on the sidelines. Washington has been stepping in dog crap for the last 3 games, and Purdue suddenly turned it around. So of course UW flies to the Midwest and cuffs Purdue.

Cautionary tale for the Cats

Perhaps we should have taken him more seriously.
