Most of Willie’s pre-game skits have been lame at best the last 4 or 5 years. I would like to suggest the following:
The skit begins with Fitz scarfing down his 4th Resist Temptation burger at So Long. Mr K-State (Ernie Barrett) is sitting nearby asking the bartender Jason about a rumor he heard about a middle-age overweight bald man with purple high tops who “Fitzed” K-State’s negotiations with Gary Patterson.
Scene 2 brings us to the stadium. Willie runs full force at Herbie the Husker, then reverts back to fat Fitz for a Mario Smith Cotton Bowl style hit. At that point, Nebraska Assistant coach (and Wildcat great) Crash Ekeler smashes into a tank of Jarrod Cooper’s piranhas, which fall onto Fitz’s face
Other options include:
- the senseless beating of a Fitz pińata (not sure if there are balloons big enough to form Fitz’s body or ego)
-Having the Crazy Train detour from the usual I-70 route to pick up Patterson for delivery to the stadium
-All band members receive their apples prior to game time as opposed to the usual halftime treat…followed by a barrage of apple cores being thrown at Fitz’s general direction (the flag girls may have trouble with the throw, so the t-shirt cannon will be on standby for assistance)
Further script alterations are welcomed
