Proud of 7 guys on Defense earning blackshirts today. They epitomize what the tradition means.

You know....I never typed it out publicly, but I had a prediction in my head that Bo was going to do this. Just a feeling.

Damn this is sweet.

The rest are weak or have unsure paternity?

Looks bad a$$. Way to interject a little swagger prior to Sat. Great move Bo.

So..obviously this just amps up the next few days...and they look great in black.

My question is....has Bo changed his philosophy or have these guys truly convinced Bo they have earned the Blackshirt? I'm taking this, along with the release of the prank video as a sign he is truly confident of this team.

It's probably a number of things. Bo has said a number of times that he likes the leadership on this team more than in the past (this is also reflected by his decision to have permanent captains). I also think both of these decisions (shirts/captains) demonstrate that Bo is not as stubborn as many think.

I also think that John Papuchis probably had something to do with the decision - I think they're trying to distribute some shirts now to motivate their players - both the veterans who were given blackshirts, and those players who are still fighting for one.

My question is, when will more blackshirts be distributed? And to whom?

Those jerseys are nasty looking (in a good way)! Let's just wear those as our alternates!
