Is Nebraska a "blue blood" program?

In most circumstances, it is totally douchey to question the level of someone's fandom, however in this case, on behalf of Huskerboard since it is glaringly obvious you are not a Husker fan, we will kindly ask you to stop referring to Nebraska as "we."

This guy clearly never watched the 1902 Huskers dominate. I remember those days like they were last week. Good times!

A little peak at your unquestionable bluebloods as compared to Nebraska over a random 34 seasons 1982 to 2015.
Lost 5 games or more
Bama 10x
Michigan 8x
Notre Dame 16x
Nebraska 5x
Lost 2 or fewer games
Bama 13x
Michigan 10x
Notre Dame 5x
Nebraska 16x
In conclusion, you don’t know WTH you’re talking about.

Such an awesome reference @Nebfanatic! Did you go to the Missouri game played in St Joe?
The 1902 Skers went 10-0 and didn't allow a single point, 182-0. 1903 was undefeated as well.

What an odd thread.
As of others have said, there isn't really an accepted definition of what is required to be considered a "blue blood" CFB program. That said, I have yet to see any published list of "blue blood" football programs that doesn't include Nebraska (or one that does include MN).

what happens in 10 years when Nebraska still is having 5-7 seasons, 20 seasons...still a blue blood. I don't think it is realist as a fan to consider my program a blue blood when it just had a good 30 year run is all I am saying. it leads to unrealistic expectations. We play at the level of Minnesota, our program is alot like Minnesota. Minnesota in 1970 would have been considered a blue blood and Nebraska not. just sayin
competing for national titles, i think that is how a blue blood would define themselves

We aren't 10 years from now. Why don't you ask in 10 years? You're assuming we're going to continue having lots of losing seasons. You should have asked this as a prediction; i.e. will we still be considered a blue blood in 10 years if *this* happens.
Michigan is as far removed from a national championship as we are, and started competing for them again 2 years ago. We have 1 more conference championship than they have and more than that unshared. We have 4 more national championships than they have in the past 55 years.

You can define Nebraska however you like. You may also define your team, whoever that may be, as you like. You are also free to have your own very weird and wrong opinion of how to define a blueblood program. But please stop referring to Nebraska as “we”. It’s painfully apparent you are not a Husker fan but, on the off chance you actually are, it doesn’t matter because we, the real Nebraska fans, don’t want you dragging down the gene pool.

Stop saying "it just had a good 30 year run". We've been good for decades more than that way back when, as people have pointed out. It was also THE BEST 30 YEAR RUN IN HISTORY. That's quite different.
