shyndy Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I sure hope he doesn't give out 17 of them and 1 of them to a punter. It's amazing how effective a defensive tool a great punter is, though. especially when said punter was an all state linebacker a la Kyle Larson Quote Link to comment
Igetbored216 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I think Coach Carl Pelini will distribute the blackshirts as he sees fit and it will really depend on performance and most of all EFFORT this year. Honestly, I am not really worried about seeing players play without fire like last year because of Coach Bo and the rest of the staff....they are all really intense dudes. Yeah, I think the only coach that isn't intense is Mike Ekeler. Quote Link to comment
RedDenver Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 How will we as fans react if Bo doesn't give out blackshirts before the first game? Quote Link to comment
captain obvious Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I think you should have to take a man's life before you get a blackshirt. Or be sent out into the jungle with only your bare hands and a loin cloth, and then come back with a tiger's head on a stick. Quote Link to comment

np_husker Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 How will we as fans react if Bo doesn't give out blackshirts before the first game? I don't think it would be that bad. It would indicate that Bo doesn't think the team is giving enough effort and I would think that it would inspire them to work harder, especially those who have had a blackshirt in the past.

DJR313 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 It's not like Bo wasn't here before. I'm willing to bet the farm that he knows the effort that goes into earning the blackshirt and he's not going to give them away that easily. He knows the deal... Who do you think was the DC that gave away 17 blackshirts like it was candy? Bo Pelini. He gave one to the punter too. Quote Link to comment

Hunter94 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I am sure there has been discussions as to who will get them and under what circumstances a situational player will be given one. I am also sure the criteria for removing the black shirts will be well known to the players. i suspect Pelini has retained a little bit of what and how the blackshirt tradition was started....this ain't his 1st rodeo at NU!

HuskerTrucker Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 1st stringers need to earn them...don't just hand them out!! Quote Link to comment

Who do you think was the DC that gave away 17 blackshirts like it was candy? Bo Pelini. He gave one to the punter too. Several people have mentioned he gave one to a punter - but what a punter! I'm ok with giving that particular punter a blackshirt. I'm less ok with there being 17 given out. Were 17 given out before the season or by the end? Quote Link to comment
HuskerFan505 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Only hand them out to those who play with reckless abandon and disregard for there own safety. I dont care if you only hand out two of them. Send a message of what you are looking for to earn that shirt. Last years defense absolutely defiled the meaning of Blackshirt and I feel it will take something of this magnitude, to bring back the legitamacy of the Blackshirt. Yeah Buddy GBR Quote Link to comment
melscott62 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 how about nobody gets them until our defense is in the top 50 or so?? Quote Link to comment
