Stanford Football 2015: Looking Northeast to Northwestern

Many Stanford fans may not be familiar with The Cardinal's opening week opponent Northwestern. maddogsfavsnpiks shares their story

This is the classic story of an inspirational rise from the dung heap of college football programs. The story line goes directly thru great Cat coach and protagonist, F Pat Fitzgerald, whom some of y'all may have already heard, bleeds big purple.

Fitz was a student-athlete at Evanston in the mid-1990s, and soon became the starting middle-linebacker (mlb). On many teams the mlb is the leader, the very heart 'n soul of the defense, and thats Fitz'z '95-'96 Wildcats.
