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

Had we won in 2011. The country would look differently on LSU

What the frick is a blue blood anyway? It's such a pretentious Term. Language for football elitists and Talking Heads with six figure incomes to make themselves feel like they're above the savagery of a game like foobaw

LSU has 4 titles according to the NCAA. 1908

a blue blood would've never hired Ed Orgeron.

Hard to argue about this.

Fans are smart; we're not

LSU is in a weird subgroup, just below the bluebloods, but above the "very good" programs. It's weird mostly due to the fact that the SEC is loaded with such programs... LSU, Georgia, Tennessee, Auburn, guess you now have to include Florida (although they didn't emerge until Spurrier took over). Not a lot of other programs outside the SEC like this, maybe Washington, Florida State, Miami, Clemson.
I put this as a separate group because they all have plenty of hardware and titles, and at times can be the dominant program in the nation; this separates from the Michigan State, Wisconsin, Stanford etc group.

Maybe the large group within the SEC historically has kept anyone other than Alabama from emerging. I think it is worth noting a lot of bluebloods own their conference or regions (I accept Penn State because of their dominance in the East, not because of what they are in the Big 10; same goes for Nebraska in the Big 8 and Big 12, but not the Big 10). I think Nebraska and Penn State are sliding down into that sub-group now, becoming the LSU/Auburn/Georgia etc of the Big 10.
