I have never really thought of Texas as a Blue Blood.


There was a time when Texas would have been one of the first bluebloods that came to mind, maybe even before Alabama. Texas began struggling in the 80's and has never really reclaimed their past glory, imo.

You may have forgotten 'bout the 2000's decade. They had a stretch under Mack Brown that was pretty impressive...from 2001-2009 they had 9 straight 10+ win seasons, 1 BCS National Championship, 2 BCS Championship game appearances, 2 Big 12 Championships, 6 Big 12 South Division Championships, 4 BCS Bowl appearances (with 3 victories), and an overall bowl record of 7-2. They had six top 6 finishes in the AP poll and never finished lower than 13th. That was probably their most impressive run with the exception of the 60's...
