Whoever gets the HC job, I hope they burn the "black shirt" tradition for good.

"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.

You make it sound like if we didn’t have this nickname for first stringers we’d be a top defense.

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.
