UCLA Basketball without the Wizard
1 National Championship
6 Final Four
9 Elite 8
19 Sweet 16
32 Tournament Appearances out of 42 years
21 Conference Championships
I say they are pretty elite without him
Much like IU without Knight
Much like UNC without Dean
Much like Kentucky without Pitino and Rupp

IU is in a group with Michigan St, UCONN, Louisville and Kansas
You can call them the low blue bloods
The high blue bloods
UNC, KU, Duke, UK and UCLA
In football you have the same groupings
Low Blue Bloods
Texas, Penn St, Nebraska, Florida St, Oklahoma
High Blue Bloods
USC, Alabama, Ohio State, ND, Michigan

FSU as a blue blood
Posted on 6/3/17 at 3:00 pm to dcbl
They have been at a Top 10 team for about 40 years now
For the lifetime of most college football fans of today Florida St has been Elite.
They might be new money and have bought their way into college football aristocracy. Nevertheless they are apart of the aristocracy
Florida State has finished ranked in one or both of the polls almost every year since 1977

Cal State Fullerton has won a national championship in baseball, every decade for the past 40 years. Other light blues listed have at least won a national championship once.
Yet, Mississippi State and FSU are listed as dark blue bloods, despite the fact they've never won jack shite.
Makes sense.

SEC ONLY

Aub - Swimming and Diving
It's a fairly accurate post but you might want to consider switching Florida and LSU around. Yes, I'm an LSU fan but I'm also a fan of using numbers and accumulated hardware to determine a programs history of success. I like Florida and just like LSU they excel in almost all sports and athletics. Many posters on this board view LSU fans as delusional, entitled and just full of themselves in general, which some of them are. The fact is when you combine all 3 major sports programs at a university it's hard to find a more successful school in the SEC than LSU and even Florida. Unfortunately, this rubs many uneducated bandwagon sports fans from other schools the wrong way.
The numbers for LSU and Florida (Big 3 Sports) are fairly close, except for Baseball... Let's take a look.
Florida Gators
Football
( 3 ) National Championships
( 8 ) SEC Conference Championships
Basketball
( 2 ) National Championships
( 5 ) Final 4 Appearances
( 9 ) Elite 8 Appearances
( 7 ) SEC Conference Championships
( 4 ) SEC Tournament Championships
Baseball
( 0 ) National Championships (2 time runner ups)
( 9 ) CWS Appearances
( 13 ) SEC Conference Championships
( 7 ) SEC Tournament Championships
LSU Tigers
Football
( 3 ) National Championships
( 14 ) SEC Conference Championships
Basketball
( 0 ) National Championships
( 4 ) Final 4 Appearances
( 6 ) Elite 8 Appearances
( 10 ) SEC Conference Championships
( 1 ) SEC Tournament Championship
Baseball ( This is the only true highly elite program from both schools )
( 6 ) National Championships ( 2nd All Time )
( 17 ) CWS Appearances ( 7th All Time )
( 17 ) SEC Conference Championships
( 12 ) SEC Tournament Championships

Much like IU without Knight
Everett Dean was IU's coach and in the Hall of Fame (predates the NCAA as we know it today)
Branch McCracken was IU's coach and in the Hall of Fame (won 2 NCAA championships)
Bob Knight was IU's coach and in the Hall of Fame (won 3 NCAA championships)
IU went to Finals Fours before and after Knight was a coach. Look, I have no love lost for IU but they are a basketball blue blood even if they have been down lately. As for the influence of Indiana basketball…
John Wooden was born in Indiana and played college ball inside the state of Indiana before heading to UCLA
Everett Case was born in Indiana and cut his coaching teeth there by winning 4 state titles. If he stays in IN and does not take the job at NC State, Tobacco Raod would not exist today.
Kentucky and Indiana (the states) are the two most basketball crazy states in the USA. I have been to both high school tournaments for their men and women and it is unlike any others in the country.

You're Right... LSU sits at 11 Conference Titles
I checked all the other ones again and they are accurate.

Yeah, I was thinking recently (last 10 yrs). You can swap LSU's baseball success for FLA's basketball success recently. LSU / FLA for overall best athletic program is definitely "neck and neck."

This....is the correct answer. Always will be. And yes.....Nebraska is a blue blood. The only reason they aren't more of a blue blood is because of us.

Do not be so full of yourself
Two teams are responsible for Nebraska's decline
2001 Colorado Buffaloes
2010 Texas Longhorns
For different reasons. CU put them on the mat and UT kept them there
OU is only involve in destroying that program by not forcing the Big 12 to respect their rivalry with Nebraska
Truth to be told it is your fault that they are any good anyway. They had no recruits and really no resources. Their football program should resemble Kansas St or Iowa State

Shows you how good Tom Osborne was!!

New money turd perspective.
Nebraska has been around, and been a superpower, for decades, and decades, and decades. They've had many title teams that met their fate at the hands of the Sooners in Norman, or in Lincoln. They've ended quite a few of our title runs as well.
I wouldn't expect you to have any understanding of any of that though. You have no concept of it means to look back through the prism of history because you're you, and all you know is what you know.

It was more Bob Devaney than Osborne
Osborne just made what someone else started better
Somewhat like Les Miles after Saban until it fell apart for Miles this decade
I believe Osborne saw the end coming and knew when to leave.
As good as Nebraska was they couldn't contend with the athletes Texas put up against them
Nebraska fans are the most delusional out of touch people in college football
They swear to god that Texas purposely destroyed their football program because they were so dominant.
