admo Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Blackshirts were a way to tell the offense from the defense. Devaney had one of his coaches go to the store to get some yellow shirts for the defense, and all they had was black. Or the story goes something like that. Blackshirts is a tradition and starters (only) should get them. You compete against your teammates for that right and the best (starters) are awarded them. I like the tradition and if these guys out there are the best, nothing you can do about it. It's not a sticker for the helmet, it's a Blackshirt. Hope they take pride in it and stick someone when they are on the field. And let's see some bones this season! Quote Link to comment
DJR313 Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 I forget, what was it that caused Pelini to take the Blackshirts away in '04? Was it the Missouri game? Yeah, I think it was the 03 game against Missouri or the fact that he is the missing link. Quote Link to comment
