re: Besides LSU who is considered a Blue Blood in Baseball ?

Modern day baseball (since regionals have been in place)
Texas (24 regional champions, 15 Supers app)
LSU (23 regionals won, 16 Supers app)
FSU (26 regionals won, 17 Supers app)
Miami (28 regionals won, 12 Supers app)
Stanford (22 regionals won, 14 Supers app)
In modern baseball LSU is the best program. Considering 18 CWS app since regionals became a thing in 1975.

Wichita St was a powerhouse before LSU. So was Texas, Maine, Miami, FSU, USC, Ok. St
Both LSU and Wichita St. came to power in the 80's. WSU with Stephenson first, followed shortly by Bertman at LSU.
To act like Wichita St had some crazy head start is hilarious.

Can more programs become blue bloods as time passes?
What does this even mean? Are you implying Wichita State was a blue blood since birth?

I think LSU has been the most influential program to what cbb is today
Which is exactly why they are a blue blood.

So,do you think of Yale and Princeton to be blue bloods of college football?

They were in the early/mid-80's but definitely not a blue blood just because they had a string of CWS appearances in that timeframe.

LSU was definitely prominent when Wichita State was making runs in the tournament. They only had 1 CWS appearance before LSU really jumped onto the scene.

Blue Bloods go back further than 18 years lol. You don’t know what a blue blood is.

A blueblood is a term applied to someone/something with a long pedigree. That’s not OSU. They’re “new money,” not a blueblood. LSU, honestly, isn’t really a blueblood given that our success only dates back to the early 90s.

Exactly and their stretch of “dominance” was literally a few years before LSU started their run of CWS appearances in the late 80s. Then LSU started winning championships and it it over multiple decades.
The fact that he mentioned Maine as a blue blood and not lsu is just outright wrong

LSU's baseball history didn't start with the first title.
We made the CWS four times before 91.

Don't forget Northern Colorado's trips in the late 40's and 50's.

But that does not make us a blue blood in terms of what a blue blood is.
I think you are getting too technical on the term blue blood, when most people think of it in terms of sports they are thinking the "Mount Rushmore of ______" List, not the 5 teams that were big time 70 years ago.
You wanting to add a Maine team that has 7 CWS appearances and none in 36 years is ridiculous.
I think 6 championship gets you added to the blue blood list.

Its a shame that the Big West has faded in the past few years.

Late 80s, which was over 35 years ago.
Edit: bad comparison, just realized Duke made some FF runs in the 60s.

Fullerton is to college baseball as Nebraska is to college football. Those of us who were around in the 90’s will remember their success, but kids today don’t even know who they are

You just pulled that completely out of your arse. Blueblood refers to nobility. It has nothing to do with longevity, it’s a prestige term, which we easily fit into. Idiot comment

While I generally agree, I do think longevity is a component. Nostalgia is an aspect, which is related to longevity.

LSU isn't a blue blood. Consistent success was three decades ago when not that many programs invested, as they do today.
Literally been to the CWS 8 times since 2000, won it all 2 of those times and was in the championship series one of the other times.
GTFOH

Football money and the SEC Network (which provided a lot of the football money) are the biggest culprits here.
Just look at the sheer number of west coast players impacting the SEC now. And not all of those guys would have been Pac10/12 guys. A lot of them would have been at Fullerton, Irvine, or Long Beach.
