The Whale Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 "Black Shirts" have become a weird distraction for several years now, and it's high time they just go away - it's not 1995 anymore. Black Shirts separate the team in an unproductive way; fielding an amazing lights out defense should simply be our standard, and not something to make a big deal out of. Look at Iowa's defense the last several years - one of the best statistically speaking over the last decade, and they just go out and get their business done with zero hype. That's actually a good model for how our D should operate going forward. 2 5 1 Quote Link to comment
gobiggergoredder Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Black shirts are good for 4-7 message board threads a year. That’s it. Thanks for adding. 2 Quote Link to comment

Rhuletheday Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Stop making it an honor. You cannot create a team environment when special (visible) status is given to certain players. Everyone on the Husker D is a blackshirt. Everyone on the Husker D wears a blackshirt in practice, just how it was when it all started. I do say we need to get rid of the skull and bones. We are a collegiate football team, not a biker gang. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment

Lunchbucket Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Get rid of depth charts then. They are special being 1st string Get rid of green jerseys then they are special Blackshirts meant more when we had dominant defenses. People wanted them and strive to earn them. It was an honor to have them But yes we should field a dominant defense, I agree with that SMGDH 1 Quote Link to comment
