Do you wanna know why all of us have these scars? It’s because Pat Fitzgerald is a lunatic, a fiend when it comes to Iowa (I have this on good authority from former players, BTW). And one day, nearly every year, him and Northwestern get a little crazier than usual. Us Iowa fans always try to defend ourselves. Defend the outlook of our season. Defend our hopes and dreams of being something more.
But Pat Fitzgerald doesn’t like that.
Not...one...bit.
So, as all of us are watching, hoping, Pat Fitzgerald pokes and prods at us all, laughing while he does it.
