0-for-America: What the hell is going on at Northwestern?
By John Buhler
Northwestern managed to not win a single game in North America this college season.
When you go 0-for-America like Nothwestern did this year, you are going to have a bad time.
After starting the college football season out 1-0 with a thrilling, neutral-site victory overseas over a Scott Frost-led Nebraska Cornhuskers team, Pat Fitzgerald’s Wildcats went on to lose its next 11 games. Home or away, this was arguably worst team in the Power Five, right down there with the Colorado Buffaloes. The Wildcats won the Big Ten West division crown two seasons ago…
At this point in time, what in the hell is going on in Evanston, Illinois? Why is Northwestern so bad?
#Northwestern, which led Ohio State in the Big Ten title game TWO years ago, about to go 0-for-America and finish 1-11, the team's most losses since 1989. Team will be 14-31 since the start of the 2019 season.

Mistake on the lake: Northwestern crossed the pond to then go 0-for-America
When you cross the pond, you become the new mistake on the lake. Unlike the Hue Jackson Cleveland Browns, you are not selecting Baker Mayfield to open up some Bud Light
draft
cans from a mini fridge. This may be a proud academic institution, but these Wildcats are playing like the Kansas State Wildcats before Bill Snyder first arrived in Manhattan to relieve Stan Parrish…
While Fitzgerald is a hall-of-fame linebacker and a hall-of-fame-level head coach at his alma mater, how are the Wildcats this utterly toothless? Duke is going bowling. Vanderbilt is 5-6. While Stanford does not care about football anymore, no excuses. Be better. If not for rampant nepotism over in Iowa City, we would be all up in Fitzgerald’s grill for having the worst offense imaginable.
With an opportunity to beat arch-rival Illinois at home, Northwestern lost 41-3 to a man with an Iowa tattoo who regrettably left Wisconsin to Woo Pig Sooie! Does Northwestern want to be relegated? Even though UConn definitely wanted to be relegated, Jim Mora brought a swift end to that. Even he won six games after moving his family into a haunted house in Storrs, Connecticut…
The only way Fitzgerald could wash out of Chicagoland football paradise is to go … 0-for-America.
