I like that you mentioned Minnesota football there as a comparison.

Think you have to from a historically elite standpoint. Top 3 helmet in CFB too imo

So not A&M, clearly.

And I live in Wichita Falls if you need a reporter who has no idea what he is doing. 😂

Of the eight blue blood football programs (Alabama, Ohio State, Texas, USC, Michigan, Criminal Sooners, Notre Dame and Nebraska), only the criminals, altar boys and corn guys haven't won a title in the last twenty-five years. That's why Nebraska is just as much of a blue blood as the other two.

Their move to the Big 10 was super ill-conceived. Much like Arkansas' early move to the SEC. Both schools became outposts for their new conferences. It hasn't worked for Nebraska and Arkansas has never been the same since.

Yes

I would say yes because I think you can't lose blueblood status once you're considered one. But another decade similar to the one they just had and it's safe to say they will never return to being a perennial powerhouse like Minnesota football pre-1960, Indiana men's basketball, Southern Cal baseball, etc. Maybe they find a Curt Cignetti 2.0 to revive their program down the road, so I gonna count them out completely.

Now that's a bit bold. I certainly would have OU in my blue blood class. Wasn't about six years ago they had won seven straight conference titles

I’m not even sure I consider OU a blue blood anymore, so no.

This would set a disastrous legal precedence for the NCAA if it happens

They are 2-34 against top 25 teams in the CFP era. They are Purdue with a better history

Nansen is a Hawaii native, too.

You forgot to mention he is Kyle Floods biggest fan.

They are as much of a blue blood as the criminal sooners or Notre Dame altar boys.

VY and Ricky have nice ones. The younger players these days tend to not. I was going to pick up a jt sanders card but the autograph was just laughable.

Spurs in 6!

Saw this on r/CFB this morning and figured I would share it with the good folks of OTF. Is Nebraska still considered to be a blue blood in your eyes? Couple of Nebraska facts: – Last National Title: 1997 – Last Conference Title: 1999 – Ten win seasons since 2000: 6 – Average wins in the last decade: 4.7 per season – Nebraska hasn't won eight games in a single season since 2016. – Nebraska hasn't won ten games in a single season since 2012. – 51–64 overall record in the last ten years. Have not finished ranked in the top 25 for a single season. Of course the history is there, but the program could have completely wrapped up after 2000 and the trophy case would not have changed a single bit. So, what say you? Nebraska still belong in the blue blood conversation?

“The filing includes Sorsby's betting on events he didn't follow such as the Turkish basketball league and Romanian soccer matches. "To be clear, I never placed any bets 'against' Indiana or against any players on the team," Sorsby said in the included affidavit. "I never used any non-public information that I knew about the team in deciding what bets to place. My bets were purely intended to make me feel more connected to the game and my teammates and to give me more of a reason to root for my teammates. Because the Indiana football team was not a very strong competitor in 2022, I lost most of the bets I placed.”

Not any school would do this. You get out of your investment and cut your losses. You don’t stay attached.

Every Texas Tech coach, member of the program and big money booster should be really ashamed to have any part in this. How many speeches have Joey McGuire and his staff given to high school kids and parents, and college kids over the years on team, culture, doing the right things, etc… I really like McGuire, he always been awesome to me for well over a decade, but it’s truly pathetic and height of hypocrisy if he or his staff are supporting this attempt at eligibility after betting on his own team at Indiana.

Interview with some older champions, Ted Koy, Billy Dale, David McWilliams, etc.

I think you are doing a great job… for what it’s worth
