re: Fans don’t think LSU is a blue blood

you must be very young. "Blue blood" isn't defined over only the last 10 years or so. College football dates back 100 years - stuff happened before 2000, you know.

I'm in my 30's, and you dont earn being a blue blood and get to keep it forever regardless of what happens every decade after, you cant take decades off and still be considered a blue blood. You can definitely lose it and Nebraska has absolutely pretty much lost it with little hope to get it back. Michigan is almost in the same boat but you feel like they can crawl out of their hole a lot easier than Nebraska can. Nebraska is pretty much dead as an elite program.

They both definitely qualify as blue bloods.

10 years ago, sure, 20 years ago, definitely.

Now, eh, not so much, they havent been relevant in way too long. you dont get to keep the title forever and continue to be irrelevant for super long periods of time to current.
