whateveritis1224 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 All Senior defensive/special teams major contributors have received a blackshirt. Henery, Kunalic, Thenarse, West, and Blatchford(?) received a blackshirt the other day. Quote Link to comment
bball_backer Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Great he got one.....Im guessing he got one because he is a senior playing in his last game near his hometown. I think it would be cool, if all the defensive seniors got to wear one the last week practice, as a "thank you" for all they have contributed to the university the last 4-5 years. I disagree. The Blackshirts are about more than "trying" and "giving it your all" and "having heart" and "sticking with it." If that's all it was, any of us could be blackshirts. Giving all seniors a Blackshirt the last week as a thank you would be like handing out participation ribbons -- there would be several guys that wouldn't WANT to wear them because they'd know it didn't mean anything.

General Blackshirt Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 He's had a boot on his right foot in practices several times this year. I believe the week before the (first) Washington game was the first time he hurt his ankle. I'm guessing that it's been lingering all year, and as we have seen on the field, doesn't really affect him in games too much. Quote Link to comment

I agree the blackshirt is something you earn. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 We haven't really stuck to Blackshirt tradition anyway, not totally. Bo has his own way of doing this so it's hard to argue with it. Results speak for themselves. Quote Link to comment

I agree the blackshirt is something you earn. I think you say they earned it by playing four years, giving their all, so for the bowl game you get a black shirt. I think Bo's approach to bowl games is pretty interesting. Practices in the morning so they can go to activities in the afternoon and evening. His approach has worked so far. He's actually 4-0 in bowls as the Husker's head coach if you count the Alamo bowl win over Michigan State after Frank got Pedeyshined. Quote Link to comment
mnhusker Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I hope he is full go I figure that he will be. Quote Link to comment
mmmtodd Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 his approach works, and i think its genius. why try to keep your intensity up for a freakin month? bound to come out flat. see: texas, 2010. get your work in, and go play. come game day youre gonna be ready to take the other teams heads off because you havent been beating each other up for 3-4 weeks. and i wouldnt worry about gomes...he's an alien. thats merely his spaceship.
