Why is this forum obsessed with "blue bloods"? It's no longer the 19th century and the SEC's dominance in college athletics is a relatively recent phenomenon. Programs peak and wane. Names like Michigan Nebraska, Southern Cal, Miami, and Florida State might have been considered blue bloods, but that's a long time ago. No one would call Clemson a blue blood, but would any Clemson fan trade places with Southern Cal to be called one?
Translation: We are not a blue blood. In fact we have never really accomplished anything of importance on the football field. If we had we would care about blue bloods.

Bottom line is that, assuming OU and Texas is a done deal, Alabama and Oklahoma are the only 2 football blue bloods.
Alabama and Oklahoma have a lot in common. Both mostly conservative states, great football tradition, and even the colors are near the same. Crimson and White for Alabama, Crimson and Cream for OU. Isn't that correct for you guys?
