Ohio State Black stripe program

[Harry]

Urban Meyer does a program where freshman wear a black strip on their helmet.  It is removed once they prove themselves worthy on the field. Obviously they can share some of these moments with the fans on social media which is neat.

im not saying we copy the exact program but it would be nice to incorporate something similar.  Seems like it would be a good motivator.  Thoughts?

Mac had a similar thing going. Not sure about this regime.

Exactly. We just did this for five years. I liked it, but Seth has his own style.

Yep, Mac did it.

Urban Meyer copied the "black stripe" program from McCarney?  A question that deserves to be answered.

No Meyer did this at Florida and McCarney copied it here.

Bill Parcells did this with the Cowboys if I remember correctly. All the rookies had to earn the star during training camp

.Stripes for rookies maybe .... putting stickers on helmets during the season seem a lot like kindergarden .... kids there get a gold star for brushing their teeth or whatever.   Can't see it helps teamwork any.. .

Note .. no NFL teams ever does it on game helmets ....   Can I have a star for posting today... and you don't get one if you don't.    Players not having a "star" or whatever on a practice helmet  ala Parcells that has never been on the team yet during the season .. no problem.

I thought Ohio State players got a tattoo once they proved themselves worthy on the field?
