Texas was popular/relevant in the 50s 60s and 70s.
LSU was not until the 2000s.

Switzer was 9-5-2 against Texas from 1973-1988.
Idk if 2 games makes us his bitch, but he definitely got the best of us..

Texas was just as irrelevant before Mack Brown going back to Darrell Royal.
Darrell Royal made us a blue blood.. not Mack Brown. I'd say Darrell Royal is pretty relevant to the discussion.

Blue bloods means 1 national title in 54 years? Who the frick would want to be a blue blood? Might as well call it loser football program.

I wouldn’t go that far. It’s funny to me yall have been this ‘dominant force’ for decades and were only able to muster up 4 titles. Like LSU.
You seem to think blue blood means something it doesn't.
Blue bloods are the teams that were popular when the sport started to gain national TV attention. As a result, they generally have the largest fan bases and most loyal fans. In the old days, TV time and things like that weren't as common, so being on a team that got on national TV was a big deal. Those types of things helped with recruiting and all that.
That's all it means. Many of those advantages don't even exist anymore due to so much TV time, NIL and so on. I wish people would quit getting so bent over the term and quit trying to redefine it. If you want to make a list of teams with most national titles and all that, best programs in history or whatever go ahead.
There are 8 blue bloods and it's not going to change.

First of all, there's no such thing as a 'blood blue'. This is an illusionary term that really means Jack. The only thing that matters is who is currently winning and winning championships. Texas obviously does NOT fit into this criteria.

Except for Michigan, no one has done less with more than Texas.

I didn’t realize Texas was. I wouldn’t consider them one.

Who said LSU isn’t. LSU head over heels better than Texas this century it’s not even close

Geez what a bad post. LSU is undisputed national champions 1959. Far from irrelevant.

Texas is 4th in wins and 6th in win percentage. Can't go by mythical national "titles" in CFB.

I think you mean 1958, Syracuse won it in 1959. Auburn won it in 1957, so winning a single national championship doesn't make you a blue blood.
Talking about sustained success over time while getting national attention.

You can't go by history to understand where the term blue blood comes from?
