That shiz is not at all what I said or implied. :L

Telling Bo to restore the blackshirt tradition, (ie..starters get them) is not telling Bo who will get them.
Obviousluy the AD and chancellor are not going to tell Bo what schemes to run or how to game plan.

The blackshirts are a tradition that snotbubbles has no right to use his ego and stubbornness to fuck with. He's well within his right to say who gets them, but not to play games with the tradition. Should the N be taken off the helmet because snotbubbbles doesn't think they're playing up to expectations?

The #1 defensive unit for Nebraska are called the Blackshirts. They wear blackshirts in practiice. Plain and simple. If you don't have 11 solid #1''s figured out, give them to those you know are #1's. Your stubborn/egotistical idea of what a blackshirt should be is proven FAIL. So GTFO, Cosgrove version 2.

Point well taken

Im on the fence on that yet, if this season ends up like last year in terms of getting humiliated on national tv...

Im very pleased the guys who were awarded the accolade, they deserves it, in the spirit of the whole tradition it's meant to motivate, no different than wearing a Captains patch, can be taken away just as easily as it was given

"Old school" Nebraska issued 11 in fall practice. They were placed in the lockers (as a surprise) as they were earned. There is no guarantee that blackshirt will be in your locker the next practice. It could be in another players locker of the same position.

Kevin Cosgrove was the first to trash the "old school" blackshirt tradition by passing them out in team meetings like candy. He diluted the meaning to the point of 25 players having blackshirts at the same time.

There should be no more than 11 or 12.

Cosgrove couldn't count. He thought defense was played with 24 defensive players on the field

Gerry's gonna be a stud. One of the better plays of the game was his pursuit that led to Ciante's pick

after watching it again he was either really bad or had no idea what he was doing. either way, i thought bando looked better.

In his defense he was on island a couple times and he was hesitant. You can tell he was thinking too much

But bando has and was pushing him all camp so whoever is the better man im down with

oh i'm not trying to call him out or anything. he's obviously talented, but to say he didn't play bad wouldn't be accurate imo. in all fairness to him, thats like the QB position of our D, so his head was probably swimming trying to figure out what the hell he was supposed to do.

No no your right lb and s calls the defense so if he's shaky or not making plays or looks lost then you gotta give the next guy a chance

I think when we go dime we need more speed at lb santos did look a step slow

Lets see what bando and Zaire do
