B1G 2011 // Keeping the Enemy Closer - Pat Fitzgerald has an insatiable hunger for ass, and other reasons why I hate Northwestern
Greetings, my name is Hayden Fry's Moustache Ride. You may remember me from last year's non-Pulitzer-Prize-winning article entitled, "HFMR, NW, and the Vengeful Potato." What's that? You haven't read it? Well go ahead and do that now. I'm not writing another goddamn word until you do.
All set? Good. Now here we are one year, another justNorthwestern win and 1300 beers later and the universe is still in a tailspin. I'm pretty much at a loss for words at this point as you will see over the next twenty or so paragraphs, photos and bullet points. Enough with the pleasantries, it's time we all put on our fuck-northwestern pants and concentrate.
The best way to describe the ineptitude of the Northwestern football program is simply by using facts. There’s no need for hyperbole or anecdotal arguments, because the absolute shittiness of their program really speaks for itself. Here’s a perfect example:
When Northwestern inexplicably won the Rose Bowl in 1949, a man in rural Illinois squatted down and took a roughly 3-pound dump in a shoebox and buried it underground. He decided he would dig it up next time Northwestern won a bowl game and send it to his cousin, Stibe, who was an Illini fan. The next season, Northwestern went 4-5, so he left the turd buried for another year. Years and years went by and his beloved Wildcats could barely muster a winning season, much less reach a bowl game, much less win one. After 50 years of waiting, the man lay on his death bed. His final wish was to bequeath the buried box of shit to his son, who like everyone else in the world, didn’t give a fuck about Northwestern football. But he respected his father’s wishes and promised to dig up the shit if they ever won another bowl game. Then another decade passed and the son got really busy at work and completely forgot about the box. He ended up getting a promotion, selling the family land and moving to Ft Lauderdale. So somewhere out there in the farmland of Illinois, behind a rotting barn, next to a tree stump, buried 3 feet underground in a shoebox…there is a crusty, decayed 62-year-old loaf of shit that no one cares about.
And that’s Northwestern football.
HEY! That’s not true! I LOVE MY TEAM NO MATTER HOW BAD THEY SUCK!
See? Watch this! I've got spirit, yes I do, I've got spirit how bout you!
Oh noes!
/crunch
Goodness Preston, what in the world was that?
Don't disturb me, Cameron, I'm tending to my hair.
It looked like a giant weasel of some sort. No matter. I'll have Felipe put an extra coat of wax on it.
Speaking of Felipe, I don't trust Mexicans.
Preston, are you even listening to me?
Ok, where were we? Oh right, Northwestern is a box of shit. No, we covered that. Oh right, now we make fun of their attendance. Yes, it's low-hanging fruit, and it's been discussed extensively but there's simply no way to talk about Northwestern without mentioning it. How bad is it? Quick, think of a football team that no one gives a shit about. Any team. Boston College. Army. Hawaii. Iowa State. Central Florida. Indiana. Maryland. Syracuse. They all draw better than Northwestern.
Now, it's true that their attendance improved from 2009 to 2010, but at that point they simply had nowhere to go but up. They were second to worst in the entire BCS in average attendance in 2009 at just over 24,000 per game. Yeah, I said 24,000. That's fucking great for a WNBA game, but it's an epic level of "don't give a shit" for a B1G football team. The only team they were ahead was a 1-win Washington State squad. So, YAY for improvement and all, but they're still a better fit for division II.
If your simple mind is currently thinking, "but Northwestern has been winning games lately," then you were probably also rubbing your dick on the outside of your jeans while voting for the Persa game-winning pass to be the Big Ten play of the year. Whatever blows your hair back. However, I would point out that Northwestern wins games the same way a blind squirrel finds a nut. By cheating like a little rodent bastard.
It's a well-documented fact that Pat Fitzgerald turned into a wizard and created a magic potato to destroy Ricky Stanzi in 2009. But what you may not realize is, last year Fitzgerald ran out onto the field and took a gigantic bite out of Adam Robinson's ass.

File Photo (Associated Press)
So Fitzgerald's cheating, assholish ways has got him some wins over the years. Great. Unfortunately it has also brought back a condition that has haunted him his entire career: an insatiable hunger for ass. And now that he has started again, he can't stop.
He has an Asswich for lunch:

Then he follows it up with a heaping plateful of asses for dinner:

And hey, I'm not the kind of guy that would judge someone for eating a nice big hairy man ass, but the fact is, this is why he can’t recruit for shit.
Yes sir.
Hey there Evan, it’s Coach Pat Fitzgerald.
Hello Mr. Fitzgerald.
Listen Evan, I’m calling today because I think you would make a fine addition to our football team. I’ve seen you play and you’ve really got something special.
Well, thanks coach.
How would you feel about starting as a true freshman?
Um, sounds good.
How would you feel about wearing Wildcat purple?
Oh. I don’t know, I mean, I’m not a big fan of……
How would you feel about trotting out onto Ryan Field in front of (cough)ty thousand fans?
Er….wait, how many?
How would you feel about letting me take a big fucking bite out of your ass?
….
Or, you know, we can start slowly. How about I just chew on it for awhile?
….
Little slice of ass for Fitzy?
Hello?

NOOOOOO!!!!! Must. Eat. Ass.

Pat, you know you’re not supposed to call me anymore.
No, wait….please Darnell. I just want to talk.
I don’t think that’s….
Listen Darnell, I’ve changed. I swear.
Sigh. Fine. Maybe just this once. What do you want?
I miss you.
Ok….
I was thinking that maybe we could get together for a caramel mochaccino.
Well, I do like caramel mochaccinos.
Yeah, they're yummy.
Mmmmm.
Also...
What.
...maybe, you know, just for old time sake…
God damn it.
….i can have a little nibble off the bottom part of your ass???
You fucking crazy asshole.
(click)
Hello? Hello?
What happened, I blacked out. Nevermind, let’s just review the facts:
- Northwestern is the worst college football program in the history of the world.
- They haven’t won a bowl game since Harry Truman was president.
- Their attendance is a fucking embarassment
- Their tailgating scene has less atmosphere than the food court at your local mall.
- They cheat.
- Purple sucks.
- The stadium DJ at Ryan Field is fucking awful.
- Pat Fitzgerald eats ass by the wagonload
Nothing personal, justNorthwestern fans, but I hope all seven of you get aggressively throat-fucked by a silverback gorilla. If you disagree with anything I've written, feel free to post a really douchey comment below like you're about to do.

I've just seen it as an opportunity to show jNW alums HOW to care about their team.
They’ve just never had good role models. If we have a reason to care, then maybe they’ll have a reason to care.

In fairness,
I hated them before they were beating Iowa since, having grown up in the Chicago area, most jNW people are still essentially the same pricks they were then.

Wait wait wait. Guys manscape their ass? Is this bullshit? They need help to do that though, right? Thank god I’m of the hairless Irish and northern European ethnicities; there’s too much grooming stuff I’d rather not know about.

Darnell Autrey sighting FTW
If we dont get the 3 and out, well, when is the turnover coming?
If Northwestern wants to increase its attendance...
…then they just need to find out what sort of special mania infects Cubs fans and encourages them to continue to support such a hopeless and futile franchise.
At least there are a decent number of people alive who can remember 1949.

Yes
And the line for it mixes in with the line for the concession stand in the 15 foot wide concourse. The concession stand that sold out of almost everything but popcorn and soda by the middle of the 3rd quarter because nobody told them they had a sellout coming and to feed the Iowans.
I really hope the upcoming stadium renovations will make the concourses wider
Ryan field is fine when we’re playing Indiana, Purdue, Illinois, some directional MAC school — ie any team that doesnt sell out our stadium.. It really is no fun when schools like Ohio State, Michigan, Iowa, etc… come in and the bathroom line is horrendous.. And the food line stinks too.
The whole place needs to be rebuilt. We have room on the east and west sides to do it, just not south or north… And yes, we need to do a better job marketing to Chicago to put more fans in the seats…

I'm not sure it's so much the stadium DJ
Or the fact that their soundsystem is what you would find at a high school dance held in a gymnasium. Come on now, the port a potties under the parts of your stadium that only Iowa and Ohio State fans use is one thing, but the speakers on a tripod in the north endzone are just an embarrassment.
Have you been in Camp Randal's bathrooms?
It’s a time-warp to a Civil War-era fortress. Even an Iowa fan wouldn’t get his hump on there
When we get the Pig, the Jug and the Axe, we'll have one hell of a picnic
The last time I used one was during the WI-MI hockey game
And I would have gotten my hump on in there because it was 65 in the bathrooms and 10 outside.
I hate them too, so that's fine
But at least they don’t have to bring them in for the few games a year where 2/3 of their stadium isn’t empty.
Prophetic words from last year's article:
The loser hates the winner. That’s called sports.
Also, from the land of not-thought-out metaphors:
Enough with the pleasantries, it’s time we all put on our fuck-northwestern pants and concentrate.
Well there’s your problem, you’re trying to fuck someone with pants on.

I waited 30 hours to read this,
and then had to give in and do so. And it was everything I thought it could be, and more.
Also, I think new ground was broken here. We have a dialogue where a comb and a hand-mirror are acceptable for comments (from complete douches). I foresee more dialogues on BHGP where simple household items are used as comments.
Excellent work, HFMR.
