So, apparently the competition in the non-con is tough enough to award black skirts these days.  First a 10-win season means they're "back", and now this.  It's sad to watch them lower their standards a little more every year.

"Previously, Pelini waited until October or even November to hand out the black jerseys because he believes it's an honor players have to earn. He said this week felt like the right time this year."

I guess he wanted to do something to get them mentally prepared for South Dakota State.

This is their Homecoming...the players need a little extra motivation if they are going to pull this one off.
