[NU Sports] ESPN.com Article on Fitzgerald

[Roy Lamberton]

Lets face it guys, the only other "story line" in the Big 10 Kickoff was how old
Joe Pa is, so Fitz being 31 only gave them lots of grist for the mill.

In addition Pat is a poster boy for NU Football. Grew up in Chicago area, played
in the burbs, went to NU, All American, Team went to Rose Bowl, and that other
one [Tennessee], played a few weeks of NFL, coaching ever since.

Is articulate, intense, and looks like a head coach. 

The age is just the hook they're hanging the lead on, and I love all the
coverage.

Go CATS
