Look at Michigan they have been relevant for a century and quarter, alabama...century, Notre Dame...century. I think you really have to go through the different iterations of football and still be relevant to be called a blue blood. I mean if we dont come back on line in 10 Years you will have to be 50 years old to remember when Nebraska was decent. that doesnt scream blue blood to me...personally.

Nebfanatic Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 This guy clearly never watched the 1902 Huskers dominate. I remember those days like they were last week. Good times! 2 Quote Link to comment

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 WTF you’re talking about. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment

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. 2 Quote Link to comment

quesadilla Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 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). 2 1 Quote Link to comment

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 Quote Link to comment

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. 1 2 2 Quote Link to comment

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. 3 1 Quote Link to comment

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. 1 Quote Link to comment
