Redout Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Question: Would it work at this point to take away the Blackshirts?? Pelini did last year. Or screw it. Quote Link to comment
Benard Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I don't think it would work this year. Cosgrove doesn't have the same respect that Pelini had and if your going to take them away, you had to do it after ttech. I don't think the blackshirts have a heck of a lot of meaning this year. Who knows I guess.The tradition is kinda lost at nebraska, we don't have much for an identity at this point. Quote Link to comment

AR Husker Fan Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I don't see it working. If the kids would feel shamed by it, then they should feel shamed by their performance anyway. At this point, it's a lack of talent and speed - removing the Blackshirts won't fix that. Quote Link to comment

We have just as much talent and speed as wisconsin believe me. More I would say. Quote Link to comment
Utah_Husker Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 ARG! It's not a lack of talent and speed! I wish everyone would stop saying that. Benard is right on. I'm not saying we have the speed of Miami or USC or even Oklahoma. But it seems to me everyone wants to believe we suddenly belong in the MAC talent wise. That must be more comforting than admitting that we the completely wrong bunch running this team...especially Cosgrove. Quote Link to comment
Pedro Guerrero Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 If it not lack of talent name anybody on this team that would start at a top ten team. Quote Link to comment
walksalone Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 we might not have the talent, we've had in past years, but that's not the entire problem... Just the tip of the iceberg, if you ask me. The defensive coordinator should have a better game plan, and have the team fired up to play... Quote Link to comment

Cosgrove needs to make some changes fast. I just get tired of people just blaming the coaches. Hold the players accountable to. Quote Link to comment
Benard Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 If it not lack of talent name anybody on this team that would start at a top ten team. Are You kidding? Ruud would, atleast one of the bullocks, fabian if healthy. Herian, kriewald, ross on most teams. Quote Link to comment

Texas, Oklahoma, USC, Auburn. Herian and Josh Bullocks(maybe). Don't give me Fabian did you see the Tech Receiver blow right by him. I think he is still running. I think your Kriewald statement is the funniest thing I have heard in awhile. Quote Link to comment

I think your Kriewald statement is the funniest thing I have heard in awhile. butkus is alot like heisman, if you team isn't doing good then you don't get recognition. He is the all time leading tackler at nu. Ross might not start on those teams you mentioned but he would start for alot of teams, alot of teams. If you followed the team close enough you would realize that fabian has been hurt and isn't even close to his best. He had a great first like 2 or 3 games and then he screwed up his knee and hasn't been the same. He actually left the ksu game and didn't play much in the 2nd half. Kriewald is a very very good fullback, callahan just doesn't use him. If it was the old system he would of had a very very big year. He's a hell of a blocker, a very very tough runner and as he showed in baylor game he can catch and run. Quote Link to comment
Pedro Guerrero Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Kriewal couldn't even beat out Davies and he was the worst fullback in Nebraska History. If Fabian is hurt then he should stay off the field. What is he helping by playing. Quote Link to comment

gamecocks Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 If it not lack of talent name anybody on this team that would start at a top ten team. I believe that quite a few of our players would start for Utah. Quote Link to comment
