He probably would've had the opposite idea - when they have a bad game (allow 50+), wear the blackshirts the next game so they don't get too discouraged. 1 Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 It doesn’t matter if Riley had been ridiculed, for one simple reason. Frost played against the Blackshirts and has their ear. He lived it. If he thinks it’s okay then it’s okay. He’s making the decision with that as his background. Riley would’ve been making it about something he knew almost nothing about. If it turned out to be a good idea it would’ve been something he accidentally fell into. Quote Link to comment

broganreynik Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I’m interested in how they decide the defense had a good game. Under 300 yards, 14 points, or five yards per play would be a good threshold. Three turnovers. Maybe accomplish two of the goals and it’s a good game... only if they actually win. A lot of ideas to consider. Quote Link to comment

A lot of ideas to consider. I saw <10 points somewhere, but I don't remember if that was actually in the press conference. That seems good to me, even with a really good defense that's not happening often. A shutout is probably too much to ask, I get the sense he wants to wear these at least once a year and probably hopes for 2-3 games. UCF wasn't quite Oregon, but they had a decent variety of uniforms. Quote Link to comment

I've actually always wanted a black jersey option and I know I'm not alone. Players think black uniforms are badass, just look at trends. Everyone is fine with the offense changing and being faster and flashy as opposed to the smash mouth football of yesteryear, but not the uniforms? C'mon now!! I love the idea of honoring the defense and if that helps improvement on the field, everyone else should too, even the state of our defense since 2009 or lack of... 1 Quote Link to comment

The issue with Riley getting ridiculed is based on his abysmal coaching career. And not just at NU. (So to your point, IMHO person presenting it) That dude should have never been hired, never fielded a defense and was .504 before he even got here. Now season one had he even remotely been interested in any of the culture, history, traditions of NU, maybe it is a different discussion. I didn't want him hired form day one. Glad to see he was fired. But that's just me. I think Pelini could have brought it up or Solich. Cally and Coz would have been as ridiculous as Riley......IMHO, person based.... Quote Link to comment
