No Longer Lockdown U?

So are we suggesting that we are giving away a briefcase full of cash to our DBs?

Edit: should put just kidding in place so people don't think I am being serious.

Ya I didn't witness much lockdown going on. Donte Williams has had success in the past putting up good pass defense numbers. Maybe he thinks the unit needs a fresh start and a new slogan. Either way I'm looking forward to see the progress they make with him in charge

 
Never put much stock in self-ascribed labels. Calling yourself "Lockdown U" the year after you were "Swiss Cheese U" was as laughable as "Hell in a Helmet." Now if somebody labels you, that is different. Otherwise is more like wishful thinking. Slogans can sometimes serve a purpose, like Unfinished business served to focus and motivate the '95 squad. Otherwise it is so much turd polishing.

I thought "Unfinshed Business" was the 94 squad in reference to their loss to Florida St in the final seconds in the January 1st '94 Orange Bowl.

Good thing you're not the coach then. Giving slogans to position groups is fun for the kids. Helps with recruiting. Gives you an identity. That's why most coaches do that.

Yes, it was the '94 NU team.
