The Ghost Of Fat Pitzgerald Haunts The Mildcats Game Thread

So, Fitzgerald was there, apparently in Iowa gear (his son is walking on at Iowa next year). Time to stop calling him "Fat Pitzgerald"?
 
The framed poster of that flyover is the centerpiece of my basement bar.

Someday I will put an extra TV behind the bar, but not in place of that poster.
Were these the guys that broke the rules and came over super low? They suffered some disciplinary actions. I have the newspaper article about the one I recall. Will look for it.

My poster was 2010 vs Ohio State, Veterans Day Weekend. It might have been the example you were talking about.

When I was a student in the mid to late 1980's blimps were not allowed above Kinnick, let alone flyovers. Too close to local airport which is basically just south of Benton Street. You would occasionally see planes fly over Kinnick with advertising banners but they must have been a low altitudes.

Somewhere along the way they allowed military flyovers.

I guess he doesn't hate Iowa anymore for being his opponent when he broke his leg and subsequently missed the Rose Bowl in 1995.

He never really did hate us, just knew how to beat us there for a while. Stanzi was winless as a starter vs Northwestern for example.

I think I read this is KF's first 4 game winning streak vs. the Cats.

I'm 53 and work in IT. I'm keenly aware of the diminishing of processing every day.
I worked in IT as well. It came at a time where the mainframe hardware was being replaced by client server hardware and software. To compound things along came cloud computing. Trying to learn and use new languages proficiently was more than challenging. I got sent to classes on PL SQL near the time I considered retiring. It definitely was the worst product I came across. One's ability to retain things just isn't the same as when you were 25.

Kirkwood is offering CS degrees focused on COBOL & FORTRAN. 20 yr olds are staring out with $100,00 salaries. But there just isn't anywhere to go career wise since AI and even all the Java and other Python like apps are so different than machine languages.
 
That flyover was so damn cool! I was in Section 131 (northwest corner) so I couldn't see the approach but I thought they were going to hit the scoreboard at the south end. If I ever see Christopher Kopacek I will definitely buy him a beer. Hard to believe it was 14 years ago.

Kopacek is a real estate developer worth 8 figures now.

He could buy everyone in Kinnick a beer and not even notice it on his bank statement.
