    OT: Fitz51 surgery

    Happy to report that Fitz51 is now at home, a mere 24 days later after his surgery. Expectations were that he could have been in the hospital for up to 2 months, so this is very exciting news. Thanks all for your support!

    This was the first game I’ve watched this year

    Forgive me, but aside from the time zone difference in London it’s often hard to find a streaming service showing the games. I often wake up in the middle of the night and check the scores, but it’s not the same. Today I happened to be flying back from Costa Rica and the flight had high speed...

    OT: Fitz51 surgery

    Happy to report that 5 days later he’s up and walking the hallways at the hospital (with assistance). My mind is blown frankly, considering the nature of the surgery. I told him about the thread and all the well wishes and suggested he swing by to post but I also told him there is a big debate...

    Day 2 update: Surgery was a success and he’s now awake. Doctors are confident they successfully removed the tumor. He’s apparently quoting this scene from Star Trek which led his family to being confused but as his friend made me immensely happy. One of his first requests coming out of...

    OT: Fitz51 surgery

    Thank you. I organised a surprise dinner party in Chicago for him 2 weeks back with 20 of his closest friends including several NU alum from out of town…I had lied to him and told him I needed to be in town from London for work so he’d agree to have dinner with me. It went perfectly and a good...

    OT: Fitz51 surgery

    Update: today’s procedure went well and took about 12-13 hours. He’ll spend the night in the ICU and they’ll start again tomorrow morning. He’s expected to spend 2 weeks in the hospital before he can go home. Thanks for all the kind wishes! I’m happy he’ll be able to wake up to a ‘Cats victory!

    OT: Fitz51 surgery

    Hi all, Larry (villox) here. We don’t post as much anymore, but I thought I’d let you long-timers know that one of our snarkiest posters, @Fitz51, is undergoing surgery today to have a very rare cancer called a Chordoma removed from his spine. It’s a major surgery done over two days, but he’s...

    Sign stealing question

    The real dumb thing is that we use signs at all. Just put a radio in the helmets like the NFL.

    Mel Tucker may get fired next

    At least he didn’t sent up multiple mechanisms to prevent a hazing culture that ultimately failed.

    Which is exactly why we should reinstate Fitz.

    Would NU have won this game with Fitz?

    I’m not so sure. After all, I spent time watching NU football that could have been spent watching inflight movies or TikTok.

    Would NU have won this game with Fitz?

    I would never have agreed to be your/invite you to be my best man if I knew you were incapable of taking this situation seriously. PEOPLE DIED.
