Blackshirts

[DJR313]

I am of the mindset that I don't believe that every starter necessarily deserves a Blackshirt. Just because you start doesn't entitle you to a Blackshirt, on the same token, just because you come off the bench should not disqualify you from being a Blackshirt. For example, a 5th D-Lineman/pass rush specialist, nickel or dime backer, etc.

That was the point I was trying to make this morning!

Everyone on defense getting a shirt? That's crazy!!

No, no, and no. I think it should be for the starters and a backup or two that play a reasonable amount (these days our base package shifts depending on the opponent from 3lb to nickel to dime). I'm not even opposed to certain individuals not getting them based off poor performance.

But the whole team?

Go root for Iowa State.

What's the significance of the black shirt? I hear people refer to NU's defense as blackshirts but have no idea what it's about.

That would defeat the whole purpose of having the Blackshirts in the first place... Does this person know they are used to differentiate between the starters and non-starters?

 

[AF Husker Fan]

Thanks on both accounts. Accidental traditions usually become the most cherished. Pretty cool.
