zoogs Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Interesting. Bo said he wanted to hand them out last week, but the team didn't want them yet. Said they hadn't earned them. Just heard that in the post game interview - interesting tidbit. Edit - f'ing ninja'd! I love this team! Seriously, how can that not get you pumped. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Bo has really lost his team, hasn't he? The players not accepting the Blackshirts is the final proof I need of a coach who's players are out of control. Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Yah, Bo said on the coaches show they tried to hand them out but the defense wouldn't take them. They wanted to turn in a better performance. That's all right in my book and they should take them now. No Td's given up and less than 200 yds total offense. That's good D. Accountability!

Count 'Bility Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Anyway, heading out of town on O St, and hearing Bo explain the refusal of the blackshirts by the players all but brought a tear to my eye. It's hard to put into words but it's the special things like this that make this place great. Bo's getting it. The players getting it. He's in the process of building something long term here. I keep saying and I keep getting told I have blinders and Bo aint the man for the job and this and that. Bo cant coach defense anymore or make adjustments, too stubborn derpa derpa. Well, for one week now, the Bo nay sayers can just suck it. Quote Link to comment
TJ Alum Husker Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Congratulations to the new Blackshirts! This was an impressive performance. I love the aggressiveness that has emerged. We look like a much more dangerous defense when we play angry. Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 Interesting. Bo said he wanted to hand them out last week, but the team didn't want them yet. Said they hadn't earned them. Just heard that in the post game interview - interesting tidbit. Edit - f'ing ninja'd! That is so bad ass. I like the way Bo handles the Blackshirt situation. I'm fine with the players "earning" them. I just hope we get to the point where we don't have to hand them out this late in the season. Quote Link to comment
Fuzzy Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Agreed on being late in the season to hand out the Blackshirts. That honestly falls on the defense. If the defense wants the Blackshirts early, they gotta play like they want them early. I really like how the defense turned down the Blackshirts until they beat Michigan. That shows me they believe in the coaching staffs agenda of earning the blackshirts on the field, not just getting them handed to you before the season starts. Quote Link to comment
BartonHusker Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 It is so sweet seeing the kids on D getting their blackshirts after the game! :D Had to be a very good recruiting tool infront of the recruits! Kind of amazing how this team/Bo looked to be on the ropes after the tOSU game and we just stewed during the bye week. The team has come out and posted back-to-back wins over quality opponents with good to very good defensive production. We are now looking more like the Huskers we invisioned! I'm sure Bo and staff slept with a little smile on their faces tonight. Quote Link to comment
Manny Bob Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 CONGRATULATIONS! The D deserves the recognition. Onward, upward, forward together! Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Great work earning them..............now keep them! Quote Link to comment
RedNLeader Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I love the fact that they got the BLACKSHIRTS they deserve after the last couple of games...but lets hope that they keep them for the rest of the year Quote Link to comment
jamrinelli Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I love the fact that they got the BLACKSHIRTS they deserve after the last couple of games...but lets hope that they keep them for the rest of the year It was nice to hear that the D was taking responsibility and not wanting to take the blackshirts after one good game. I hope that they continue to play well especially since we are done with any real threats at the QB position running wise. Quote Link to comment
epocSoN Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Our defense has come a long way this season. I think the big thing that we finally accomplished last night was forcing some freaking turnovers. Some landed in our lap yes, but we finally took advantage of their presents. That hasn't really been the case this season and I was so happy to see that we finally took what was right in front of us. If our defense plays the rest of the year like they did last night we will be heavy favorites in every game from here on out. Quote Link to comment
r06ue1 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Nice win, no doubt, not sure about blackshirts though. I would feel a lot better about the win if Denard had played the entire game and that bench warmer had not come in and played like a high school freshman. I was fully expecting another mobile QB having a feast on our D but they did a good job on him while he was in the game. Quote Link to comment
