Happy Birthday Fitz!


That's right, on December 2, 1974, our fearless and feared (by his opponents, particularly Iowa) leader Pat Fitzgerald was born, and immediately screamed until his face was purple....his favorite color.

Star-divide

So, here are your questions for the comments section:

  1. What are you doing to celebrate this holiest of holy days?
  2. What type of intense celebration do you think the Fitzgeralds are celebrating today?
  3. Does Fitz need to blow out his candles, or do they extinguish from gusts of wind from the force of his eyes blinking?

a day late, but i'll comment anyway:

1. i didn’t celebrate. fitz doesn’t like celebrations. in fact, i did my best to be as somber as possible all day long yesterday, lest fitz track me down and glare at me until my soul evaporated.
2. my sources tell me that the fitzgerald family went on a rock climbing excursion on a wall of rocks made entirely out of rusty nails.
3. not sure, but i bet coach fitzgerald’s cake cut itself into slices out of fear.
