re: LSU not ranked by ESPN as one of 8 "Blue-Blood" CFB Programs

Wouldn't call Fla State or Michigan blue bloods. They had legendary coaches with over the top personalities. Media darlings

If you take a random sample of college football fans nationally and ask them to list a top three bucket list of venues to visit, LSU’s Tiger Stadium and probably Notre Dame will be 1 and 2.

All other random statistics are meaningless.

I'll take beating two of them MFers in one season.

Nebraska's down and probably never returning to glory. Michigan is a product of playing ball forever. I mean they do have 11 national titles but most of those came prior to the end of the great depression and the last one was shared with a superior Nebraska squad. I mean, why not just throw Minnesota and West Point on the list?

#9 on someone's list, but #1 in our hearts

Agree with most of the list, with some exceptions. Nebraska and Oklahoma have been good programs for a long time (Nebraska not so much recently), but they piled up a large number of wins and ships in that powerhouse league the Big 8, where most of the time whichever one of them won the head to head game, won the league. Reminds me of Clemson in recent years, piling up wins with no comp and only having to win one game against real comp and then not until the cfp. Minnesota, while not being relevant recently, until this year, has 7 titles they claim and 2 that are unclaimed, more than most of the blue bloods. Just noticed that list came out 3 years ago.

To say LSU isn’t a blue blood is assinine. There’s more than 8 blue bloods in college football period.

9 is really the best we could expect. I’ve seen many “all time football program” rankings where we are in the 10-12 range.

4 of the 8 havent done anyrhing of note in the last 10 years. That should disqualify them. If you're going to use historic relevancexl as the criteria, Minnesota and Yale should be bluebloods.

Baseball, we are in....Basketball, we are not even close IMHO
