Go U, NU

Huzzah to the beloved Northwestern for winning the Citrus Bowl 35-19 over Auburn. And the 400th coaching win by defensive coordinator Mike Hankwitz who is retiring after 51 years in college football.

And to Pat Fitzgerald who just won the Dodd Coach of the Year Award for college football.

I always especially appreciate bowl game wins -- let alone just bowl game appearances -- because my dad had season tickets to Northwestern football for 51 years, and for almost all of those years they not only didn't play in a bowl game, but lost most of the games they played.  This includes a 34-game losing streak, still the longest in NCAA Division 1 history.  

So, really -- huzzah.
