Monday of Game Week. As it should be.

 

 

 

But Derek says:

 

 

 

That's 15. So I guess we'll just have to see.

There is excitement among the freshly-awarded Blackshirts:

Cool idea of getting former Blackshirts to hand them out to this year's group.

[DevoHusker]

this is a great idea...and love the enthusiasm Darrion Daniels has been generating...he could be a difference maker 

[knapplc]

Apparently the new Blackshirts thought it was pretty cool that the old guys came back to help hand them out.

Nobody can accuse Jay Foreman of not being All In on the Blackshirts tradition.

So he will literally be the skull and bones.

 

Commitment.

If Jay Foreman wasn't one of your Top 5 Huskers of all time before this, he should be now.

Two #2's received them and Collin Miller was the only starter to not receive one.

Never mind

Love the way HCSF made this a ceremony - it gave it so much more meaning and tied the tradition back to the era of great black shirt defenses of the past.

This list of 12 guys - as far as I can reasonably eyeball the recruiting numbers - is every bit as talented as what Wisconsin & Iowa has on their roster as a cumulative average.

 

Success for these guys is absolutely within in their grasps if they:

 

1. Take to the coaching and stay disciplined.

2. Show up each game with the mentality of pounding the other team into the turf.

I wasn't as critical against Bo as a lot of members of this board were, but looking back at the way Bo handled the Blackshirts, he did a very poor job of understanding and managing the tradition.  Callahan and Riley didn't seem to care too much either.  It's great to see Frost and his staff manage the Blackshirts with a nod to traditions of the past.
