Did your team make the Blue Blood list?

[BigKen]

Sorry thought I had highlighted:

PSU 46%

 

[Diego Roll Tide]

Oops, the last one I looked at had one tie. I looked at Wikipedia a while ago, and assumed it was one as well (remembered it showed 4 wins)

Funny part is EVEN IF they went 0-1 in 1895, if that were their worst blemish that in itself would be pretty impressive.

 

[TrustMeIamRight]

This is untrustworthy. They have Michigan’s last title as 1997 so obviously it is using bad information.

Was talking about the age of HC’s when they won a title — came across this list, so it must be true

Jr? I'm old enough to have sired your father, pimple popper.

You read me right. Put your shriveled little mushroom cap away, Kate aint impressed

Now, Jr!!

John Heisman, Alonzo Stagg, and Pop Warner also made great contributions to the formative years of CFB. But no one lists Georgia Tech, Pacific, or Stanford among blue bloods. You need more than a great coach to get that.

There is a gap between Nebraska/Texas and Tennessee/Penn St. for the “cutoff”. Tennessee is in a second tier with Florida, Georgia, Auburn, and LSU. Those programs lack the metrics for top tier blue bloods, though among them Tennessee does have the longest history of being strong.

Tennessee has 846 victories and a .674 winning percentage, good enough for top ten in the history of CFB. That's not second tier. The other programs in the top ten are Michigan, tOSU, Texas, Bama, Oklahoma, ND, Nebraska, PSU, and USCw. Arguably, each of those schools' program records were compiled during the tenures of notable coaches (none of whom formulated and documented the maxims). Tennessee had more than one great coach whose personal record eclipses the winning percentage of the program as a whole. Neyland's tenure and contribution to all of CFB stands out. Whatever your personal bias, displaced Bammer, history irrefutably lifts Tennessee's football program into rarefied company. Next to it, your opinion is just spit in the wind.

Pitable youth, or just plain belligerently stupid male human, you ain't impressing anybody with your smack. Go, measure your tinkle snake one more time, and feel better about yourself.

What exactly makes the Huskies a blue blood, their shared national title from '91? Or is it the 16 total conference crowns they've won since 1919? And the Huskies have only won an outright conference crown 11 times- 1925, 36, 60, 63, 77, 80, 81, 90, 91, 16 & 18. In 1919, 59, 92, 95 & 99 they shared the title.

Oh wait does the Huskies list of Heisman winners make them a blood blue? That can't be it, they don't have a Heisman winner.

To be a true blue blood all teams should have these boxes checked. Top 10 all time in wins. Multiple Heisman winners. Multiple national titles. Long list of All Americans. Your team is currently 25th in wins all time, 743. A blue blood they are not.

That was definitely a smackdown. What will @AlaskaGuy say?

Yeah kinda like this game:

no body is in here trying to say Oregon is a Blue Blood yet here we are again with Washington fans bringing them up.

Not sure everybody understands what 'Blue Blood' means.

One never loses a Blue Blood status in College Football. Personally, I'd rather have Red Blood status which means you are winning now, your program is alive and kicking as opposed to the years of lore behind you in the past.

Clemson isn't a Blue Blood, but they damn sure are a running hot Red Blood right now. What 18 year old gives a shit what Michigan did when Truman was POTUS? Or what Nebraska did when Clinton was getting hummers in the Oval Office?

So then how would you decide what a Blue Blood is?

He'll cry about how other conferences are treating him badly.

Well comment # 21 he said there have been a couple blue blood threads over the past few years & all listed the Huskies. Comment # 25 he said he posted two of them. But he never said which threads they were.

im pretty sure the lists he posted were like with the loosest criteria for a blue blood because someone on the internet suggested maybe they were listed them at like 30

List of some of threads discussing who is a Blue Blood on these boards

Blue Bloods

So...Who are the real 'Blue Blood' College Football Programs?

ESPN Blue Blood teams

CS: Definitive 8 College Football Blue Bloods

What do you consider to be a blue blood program?

Blue bloods of CFB that have

in only one of those threads has anyone considered putting Washington in the conversation and they were way out of the list. Coincidentally it is the thread AG created.

Blue bloods, socially, are old money. Blue blood status is reserved for those that want to bask in old glory. The CFP gives us 1 blue blood per year. Then the next season starts and there are no longer any blue bloods. IMO.
