Frosted Flakes: Blackshirt “Tradition”, A 150-Man Roster And “County Scholarships“

Nebraska coaches and our athletic director, Bill Moos, have been touring the state. As they been touring, they are answering questions from people and talking about topics that pertain to our beloved Nebraska Cornhuskers.

Our new defensive coordinator, Eric Chinander, stated that he would no longer be "handing out Blackshirts like they are M&Ms". This was related to around 100 people who attended a session in Fremont. Apparently Chinander studied the Blackshirt tradition at length as well as talked to several people including Charlie McBride and former Husker players. They believe that the Blackshirts should be awarded on a performance basis.
