Black shirts were more of a name before the 90's. Did not really mean what it means today. It became an honor to be a Blackshirt and they fought like hell to do it.
I agree there are some on the team that fit the bill, but some have no business starting at Nebraska let alone being a Black Shirt. Our standards have dropped due to the last coaching staff. Bo is raising those standards to where they mean something, not only to him but the team. What ever he decides will be right as far as I am concerned. He knows the effort, the level of learning and the desire.
We take a major a$$ beating from Oklahoma shortly afte awarding the Blackshirts, they will be the laughing stock of college football. This program needs honor and pride. If they play Oklahoma tough and we lose no problem then. We get use like a 2 dollar whore, no need to put them up for ridicule.
Maybe it is time to make our traditions better, not lower them.
