One think about the slide with Fitz on it...

Fitz has a winning record - something few NU coaches have had over the past 30 years....

And spread should only get better, and bigger

The Omaha World-Herald has produced a photo essay introducing the Big Ten
schools to its faithful readers. Link:
http://odc.omaha.com/index.php?u_page=5002&p=1940

Each existing Big Ten school gets two photos -- one of its head football
coach, the other of its football stadium. (Priorities in Nebraska, people.)
The cutlines tend to say when the coach was hired; what his record is; and
when the university joined the Big Ten.

Paterno and Penn State are first in the sequence.

Say, which coach and team are featured last? Behind even the likes of
Zook/Illinois and Brewster/Minnesota and The New Guy Who Took Over for
Walrus-Mustache Guy/Purdue. (Danny Hope/Joe Tiller, I know, I know.)

Hint: This last-in-the-league team wears purple.

Shocking! Like gambling in Casablanca!

I'm sure that putting Northwestern last wasn't, like, done on purpose or
anything.

Small point in the purple team's favor: the Northwestern "stadium" shot
shows mostly the scoreboard after the glorious 33-27 victory over the
Buckeyes in 2004. Not that many in Omaha will know or appreciate. (Mr.
Nolan, you are obviously excused.)

Another entertaining note: the Illinois stadium shot features that Freak
Illiniwek. I thought he had been banned by the NCAA?

PS: I am actually a big fan of Nebraska -- the entire state, the university
and the people. Have been there any number of times. Spent more than a week
in Omaha for the U.S. Olympic swim Trials in 2008; Omaha is more than OK.
Really.
