Fitz wearing shorts

[BillVol]

Not that it matters a bit or that I care one way or the other, but I've never seen a head football coach in college wear shorts at a game. Does he often do that?

Second game ever. First was against Duke in the heat and humidity of Durham.

It was his third game. NU tweeted out that we were 2-0 with him wearing shorts this season. I think the other game was Stanford.

He's 2-1 in shorts. Beat Stanford in them too.

He may have a yeast infection and needs the extra ventilation.

Who cares? I am all for coaches being comfortable while coaching. They were shorts at practice, why not in a game? Good for Fitz

This is part of a slow-motion evolution along the same lines as tennis players wearing any color other than white.

Remember when coat and tie was de rigeur on the sidelines among head coaches?

Coach Fitz and Serena Williams, trend-setters!

Fitz grew up a White Sox fan!

We're tired of hearing about it too. Huge one tonight on big ten network.

(Added at the half: oh, maybe you don't want to watch.)

My dad is an NU grad and will turn 80 in January. I'd love for him to be able to see the Cats in the NCAAs.

Hope your Dad has good genes. It might be a few more years......

Why not this year?

Why not this year?

Two of the best players are hurt: Forward Vic Law out for the season and Center Alex Olah out indefinitely with a stress reaction in the foot. Collins is still building, getting talent to Big 10 level.
