Lousy night for the Cats but I’m glad an NU legend had a great night.
Congrats Fitz

Beating Michigan in the Big House will go a long way toward taking the edge off a tough first year.
In theory, they're still fighting for a bowl game. (Oregon's going to be a tough out, though.)
Agreed. He needed something to hang his hat on and beating Michigan will more than do.
A true Fitz coached team effort. Their injury situation is far worse than ours and they went to Ann Arbor and totally shut out Michigan (until under 2 minutes). Kenny Soares Jr. sealed the chance at a Michigan comeback with a big sack on the 2 pt conversion.
We could have really used Kenny this year - may have been good for another win if he would’ve been able to pressure and sack Raiola a few times.

Five field goals for the win. Very on brand for Fitz (and yes...five field goals outdid our tally for the night).
Fitz now 2-0 vs. Whit
Fitz now 2-0 vs. Whit
and has won at the BIg House (remember the td pass to Hartl>) as a coach for NU and now MSU...They say UM pulled a scholarship offer to him and he has not forgotten.
Who ******* cares. The dude ran our program into the ground and before yesterday he was already on the hot seat.
Sigh. Just skip the thread if you don’t care, that’s what I do about other random OT threads. Fitz was the most decorated and important player of our two best seasons in modern history and got the lakefront and stadium facilities built. It would be odd to shut down (or shout down) threads about Fitz but not our other former players who are playing or coaching at other places.
I for one was really happy to see him stick it to the program in Ann Arbor on their turf. It’s a big milestone for any MSU coach. Fitz was not handed a good roster and I don’t think he had a huge amount of money to play catchup in the portal, and they seem like they’re down to their 2nd 3rd and 4th string at many positions.
I go all the way back to 95 with Fitz when he was a player and he and Steve Schnur not only signed a hat for my 12 yr old son and friend at an NU bball game but let them sit with them the entire 2nd half...and yes he could get touchy and he had a couple bad years at the end.....but still the man bled purple....
