WATCH: Wildcats enjoy 'Bowl Week Chicago'
If not for the Iowa Hawkeyes surprising run to the Rose Bowl, the Northwestern Wildcats would be getting a lot more love for the 10 win season they enjoyed in 2015.
After a surprising season for Pat Fitzgerald's squad, they have earned a trip to Tampe, Florida for the 2016 Outback Bowl against Tennessee. Before heading down for the game, the team enjoyed a nice time in nearby Chicago for what Fitzgerald dubbed 'Bowl Week Chicago' per the school's Twitter feed:
What a fun way to celebrate a very good season for the team by getting to enjoy a couple of good pro teams and bond over bowling with a side of comedy.
On top of the @outbackbowl prep, @coachfitz51 decided to give the #B1GCats a 'Bowl Week #Chicago' experience. https://t.co/k7401XRCOE
