re: List of Athletic Departments With Blueblood Status in More Than One of the Big 3 Sports

If bent out of shape = laughing out loud while reading Texas is a blue blood, then OK I guess.

Society: Yes. Great job. Doesn't make you a blue blood

You have no idea what constitutes a blue blood. No one does. It's a fictitious title with no real parameters.

Thanks for the compliment on us having a better program this century, especially when you consider LSU has a fraction of the resources Texas has lol

Except there is endless literature on what a blue blood is.

Texas is in. LSU isn't. The college football collective has decided that.

Yeah, but Nebraska is really, really pushing the limits of how much and how long you can suck for before you’re not considered a blue blood anymore. Like I’m pretty sure this recent suckitude has affected Nebraska’s all time statistics at this point.

Princeton, Harvard, and Yale would have been the original blue bloods. Pitt and Minnesota would have been considered blue bloods slightly later on. So you can’t really say that who’s a blue blood never changes.

There are three or four bluebloods, at best.

Texas University has one ten year period of greatness. And it was a great decade, no two bones about it. Before that, you don't have much. It's closer to nothing than something, in the context of this debate. Some conference titles and a few one loss seasons. You were not a powerhouse or a threat to be a powerhouse. You went to 7 bowl games before the DR era (and you count seven wins against OU before Oklahoma was even a state). You've been squarely middle of the road or a bit higher since DR. Yes, you have one natty, as do Colorado and BYU. Nothing you've done since DR suggests "success" on the scale that WOULD extend blueblood status IF you had a history before that one decade/60s, which OU, USC and OSU have, in addition to the Dame (though, obviously, there is but one blueblood, and we all know who that is).

Your entire status has always been "we're big, we have money and we love football". That's it. That's your foundation for "blueblood" status. Not success.
