Sippin' On Purple · Dec 2, 2020
Where are We Wednesday: Setting the new normal
Tim Fuller-USA TODAY Sports On December 1st, 2018, swathes of purple swarmed the city of Indianapolis, celebrating the unprecedented accomplishment by a Northwestern Football team. For the first time since 2000, the Wildcats had an opportunity to win a Big Ten title. Walking through the city pregame, the celebrations for the Wildcat fans were well under way before the game even kicked off. Inside Lucas Oil Stadium, the vocal purple corner held its own against an overwhelming sea of red, demonstrating its support and admiration for its team. On the heels of the loss to Ohio State, Pat Fitzgerald said he hoped competing for Big Ten Championships would become the “new normal” for this program.
