In the Deed the Glory Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Gangwish getting seriously choked up is the best freaking thing. Beyond ready for Saturday. That was awesome! Home grown Nebraska walk-on realizing his dream. Love his story. Quote Link to comment

The Dude Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I don't sense any sarcasm in that. They just don't really understand the tradition because Bo never understood the tradition. 2 Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Cracks me up seeing the "new" guys (like Gomes and David) talking about the Blackshirt tradition when they don't even realize how it traditionally worked. Â The Blackshirts are EXPECTED to live up to the name from Day One. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Â Interesting...I want to see where this goes. A super beloved Husker All American gives his thoughts that are opposite of most Husker fans. Â Â Â You disagree that the Blackshirts are earned, not just given? I would say most Husker fans would agree with that, personally. I mean it will be interesting to see if LD is now "attacked" for his thoughts. Â I took LD's tweet to mean that they are earned from game play... Â Either way, I really don't care. I just want them to win Quote Link to comment

husker_fan_from_sweden Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Former players have a point. But, it is cool to see the new staff embrace what traditions Nebraska once carried out. New era means new moxy. Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Ugh, this whole idea of who had the tradition of the Blackshirts right is really lame. I don't think we were bitching about how Bo handled the Blackshirts in 2009 and 2010. He used them to motivate the team in a different manner. Â But, now that all things Bo must be criticized endlessly, his POV of the Blackshirts is the worst thing ever. 3 Quote Link to comment

In the Deed the Glory Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 As long as whatever way they do it leads to them playing like the Blackshirts, I don't care. Quote Link to comment

It's never been a huge deal to me but it's still amusing to see recent players saying this "new" way is wrong, when it's actually the old way. Quote Link to comment

It's easy to bitch about how Bo handled things based on the past few years of D. We didn't have any reason to complain about the D in 2009 and 2010. Quote Link to comment
RedRex Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Simple solution. Take these jerseys home and put them in a drawer. At practice tomorrow hand out 11 unnumbered black mesh tear-a-ways to the first stringers for the week. Next week if someone moves up to starter status, give him a fancy jersey to take home and the tear-a-way of the guy he's replacing. The "trophy" jersey says the individual has earned a starters spot, the tear-a-ways stand for the defensive squad we'll take the field with this week. Â Would that not work well enough to maintain the traditional intent and stop the Twitter fights? Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015   Ugh, this whole idea of who had the tradition of the Blackshirts right is really lame. I don't think we were bitching about how Bo handled the Blackshirts in 2009 and 2010. He used them to motivate the team in a different manner.  But, now that all things Bo must be criticized endlessly, his POV of the Blackshirts is the worst thing ever. People have been complaining about it for at least 4 years now. It's never been a huge deal to me but it's still amusing to see recent players saying this "new" way is wrong, when it's actually the old way. Old way, new way, who freaking cares. What matters most is how the D plays on game day. Gangwish can cry and say how much it means for him to be a Blackshirt, but it won't mean jack sh&t if he doesn't play well on Saturdays. I loved Gomes when he was a Husker. He is one of my favorite Huskers of the past 10 years. I don't have any ill will towards him just because he was part of a team that did things "differently". Quote Link to comment
