Redux Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Actually I hope this is him trying to toss a small insignificant purple log onto the potential rivalry fire that could be. Quote Link to comment
HuskerInLostWages Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I've never understood why anyone would want to live there. The Cubs? He already menationed the cubs, he said the bums. 1 Quote Link to comment
SouthAfricanHusker Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Fitz is trying to have some fun and he knows he can't talk about anything on the field. So he makes a joke that nearly all of our opponents have said for years. Heck Bob Costas even poked fun at the fact that there are no other major universities or pro teams within our borders after the 95 Orange Bowl win. Let him enjoy this now. Husker Nation will remind him how we love football at his crib. Quote Link to comment
TAKODA Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I think this is just him cracking a joke for the fun of it. Down deep by saying what he has said, he is tearing down NW fans because of how well Nebraska travels. I suspect when he looked up into his home stadium when we played them a few years back, he thought WTF, how is it possible that there is more Nebraska fans here than our own fans? The response he shared Monday was obviously his way of rationalizing (in a fun way) why Nebraskan’s take the time to travel to the game. Just a note for you Pat, Husker fans are vested in the program and players because of the rich tradition we have. We don’t just show up in the good times like the brain trust up there in Chi town! By the way ~ it’s called “Loyalty”. See if some of your scholars can figure out the definition and relay it to you while someone else wipes the sweat off your brow! See you soon, we will be the ones in Red! Quote Link to comment

Abdullah the Butcher Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 That red guy in the endzone seats is me, making Northwestern have to go silent. Get some fans that care Pat. 2 Quote Link to comment

Not sure what their place looks like when those you mentioned play there but BrayWyatt's image above is pretty telling! +1 Bray Quote Link to comment
Abdullah the Butcher Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Notice their student section isn't even full in their tiny stadium on the bottom left of the picture. Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 If anything, we can kind of take this as a back-handed compliment. He's just annoyed that Husker fans filled out his stadium in the last go around. It's fun to talk about but I don't think this is anything that interesting, and certainly not bulletin board material. I also think I heard someone mention yesterday that he said this in front of a bunch of NW alumni or boosters or something of that nature. I'm sure coaches always say interesting things when they're in that setting. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 This is the year we officially take back control of this series. Im expecting a demolition of epic and tragic proportions. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Here's why they asked Fitz about Husker fans, in case anyone hasn't seen these pics. From a thread after the game two years ago: 3 Quote Link to comment

Minnesota_husker Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Does northwestern not have any fans because they suck.. or because all of them have been murdered? 1 Quote Link to comment
Mike Mcdee Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 You know that the hail mary pass is a thorn in his side. That connection from RK3 to Wester'stache changed the season for both teams. It's understandable that he would have a few barbs toward NU's fan base. Knapplc, if those end zone photos are from you, then you must have been right by me, and the "Lincoln's that way" guy. With it being a night game it might be fun to have a HB tailgate this year. Quote Link to comment
Saunders Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Does northwestern not have any fans because they suck.. or because all of them have been murdered? They got the hell out of Chicago so that they didn't get murdered. Quote Link to comment
