re: The changing of the Blue-Bloods

How is that a strawman? You created the criteria that being a blue blood is something you can't lose or gain. So I applied your criteria and established who the blue bloods are based on your criteria. As to the time period, why do you get to be the authority on when football really started and how far back is adequate to establish true blue blooded-ness? I was just illustrating how stupid your characterization of a football program is unless you agree that the Ivies and Michigan are still blue bloods. I'm not arguing they are. You're attempting to apply societal class structures to sports. It's ridiculous.
