lo country Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Looks like the D is down to 4 Blackshirts: Gerry, Mitchell, Rose and Kalu..... On the injury front and unsure of their status for Friday we have: Gregory-Sickness Moore- in a boot Bell-head injury Pelini-golf cart and a boot Sterup Unsure why 4 DB's have kept their shirts..... Injuries could hurt. Already then OL gets thinner. Beck says their DL plays very well. Great hands and quick...... Friday should be very interesting. Quote Link to comment

I say never judge a man by the clothes he wears. Used to mean quite a bit to quite a few. Probably does still mean a lot to quite a few. I know I'd like to see it brought back to what it once was. Just because things are rough doesn't mean we have to just crap all over all our traditions folks. Enough people are trying to tell this program that it can't be what it's been in the past. Nobodies asking for a dynasty anyway. That insinuation is worn out. We're asking for some pride, some good football, a bit of self respect. Act like you've been there, don't act like a yelling screaming child, and stop getting blown out in record setting fashion. That's hardly dynasty-worthy, that's reasonable expectations. The Blackshirts playing good defense and having some pride when they wear that jersey is also a reasonable expectation. 2 Quote Link to comment
Danny Bateman Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I just hope whoever takes up the mantle next returns to just handing them out to the starters at the beginning of the year and is done with it. 2 Quote Link to comment

It's sickening enough we're paying him to do it. 1 Quote Link to comment

Dr. Mantis Toboggan Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I recall that there was once a coaching staff and athletic director that tried to change tradition at Nebraska... Since the name is forbidden to be spoken on HB I will not say who, but I think you all know who I am talking about. Unreal and just sad how the blackshirt tradition is nothing more than just a title with no meaning behind that practice jersey. There really need to be ex-blackshirts on the staff, not necessarily as a D Coordinator, but someone who respects the tradition and educates these players on what it means to earn that blackshirt. When the Blackshirts are commonly referred to as the "pinkshirts" you know that the tradition has died and is now nothing but a punchline. Sad days are ahead of us for us fans if this coaching staff remains intact for the next season and beyond. Tradition means a lot to every school, some people may think differently but if you engrave the symbol into players brains of what is behind our traditions to the players in-state and players from across the country they will have a respect for that practice jersey and will then "run through a brick wall" come game day to keep that jersey. 1 Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I throw up in my mouth a little bit every time I hear the word "Blackshirts" anymore. Quote Link to comment

I'm not sure if desecration is a strong enough phrase. He literally annihilated a tradition to the point of apathy from the fans. It's sad, really. Quote Link to comment

Friday should be very interesting. 2 blackshirts on players that don't start and one on a player that shouldn't even be on the field.....NICE!!!!! Quote Link to comment
