LSU fans really do believe college football started in 2000
That’s neither here nor there.
I was addressing the Michigan fan laughing at the Texas fan. it’s the pot calling the kettle black.
Michigan has done very little since the 1960s to show that they are still a blue blood program. What LSU has done is irrelevant and just a distraction here.

Laughable coming from a Michigan fan
Before 2023, what had you accomplished in the last 60 years on the national stage outside of a co-national championship in 1997 with Nebraska?
the problem with idiots like you is that you ONLY use one metric (i.e. nat'l titles) for determining blue blood status.
1) UM is #1 in all time wins (only program w/ 1K wins)
2) #1 in all-time win %
3) 12 national titles in our history
4) #3 in the nation of most conference championships
5) most winning seasons in CFB than any other program (122)
6) Most undefeated seasons of any program currently competing in Division I FBS (24)
this is blue blood status, no matter how much douchnozzles like yourself wanna deny it

no sense of history, how the game was built

I thought Michigan men were smart.
smart enough to realize that texas has living off the glory of Vince Young (who I think is a top 5 player in CFB in the past 30 years) and the 2005 season for more than 20 years without doing a damn thing.
if nebraska hadn't left, you'd be AT BEST the 3rd best program in the big 12 after OU and UNL
not to mention, you're the biggest brand in arguably the most fertile state in the country, and you perpetually suck and underachieve decade after decade

you're limiting your perspective to your viewing experience
Bluebloods have a history, and contribution to the game as has been mentioned The Wishbone..Coach Royal was an influence on other Coaches and built a legacy

when did I say Young was the greatest longhorn ever? newsflash, I didn't
also, if you wanna talk about "influence" on coaches/playing style/culture, that's a separate discussion altogether. I think that yale/princeton/harvard are in the discussion, if you wanna go down that route

You were picking apart Texas as blue blood by claiming Vince John was the greatest in the past 20 years and that's all they do is talk about that
I was saying that fans talked about much more than Vince Young when referring to Texas as a blue blood program
And being a blueblood program, the accomplishments the history of success should be longer than the scope of time your argument was limited to
btw
Michigan is undoubtedly a blueblood as is Texas for the same reason
what had Michigan done recently til last year

Nebraska fans are the most loyal and knowledgeable
Posted on 6/25/24 at 9:07 pm to Poichess
they are.. and polite
LSU fans are warm and generous
Texas fan are calculating and a bit subdued but in large part its a reaction to A&m fans and their weirdness,, even if ou is their rival
bama fans my experience are some of the biggest T-shirt fans
only other fans I had enough experience with was SC and it was so social hierarchy and being seen at the game

Michigan is clearly a blue blood. National championships are very quirky in college football and U-M now has as many as Ohio State over the past 50 years.
Texas has one title in 50 years, all thanks to Vince Young.

Nebraska isn't in the same stratosphere as Notre Dame. In the world of CFB, Notre Dame is Moses that led this sport out of the wilderness.
So this is what full retard looks like
You don't know your history but what to expect from some who started watching CFB in 2003.
Notre Dame was the Yankees of CFB in the 1920s and revolutionized the sport by utilizing this new fangled idea of the forward pass....taking the game away from basically Rugby. They crisscrossed America taking on all comers.. Sold out stadiums, Yankees stadium, you name it. . Nebraska isn't close to the level of importance as Notre Dame. Michigan might be God as the original founder of the Ten Commandments but Notre Dame is Moses.
Read Rites of Autumn before you cast aspersions. You don't know what you're talking about.
quote:
Football did not have an auspicious beginning at the University of Notre Dame. In their inaugural game on November 23, 1887, the Irish lost to Michigan by a score of 8–0.
But under Knute Rockne Grantland Rice noted and wrote that the 1921 Notre Dame team "was the first team we know of to build its attack around a forward passing game, rather than use a forward passing game as a mere aid to the running game."
It was the invention of modern football strategy and they dominated.
Notre Dame won a National Title every decade from the 1920's to the 1980s.
Nebraska won National Titles in the 70s and 90s. How is that comparable?

Sounds great but half of those they didn’t even deserve just like Paul Hornung didn’t deserve the Heisman etc. It’s not the 60’s or 70’s anymore. ND hasn’t won shite in 36 years. Eventually what they did 50 years ago isn’t going to matter anymore. Even Michigan and Texas have managed to win national championships since ND’s last one and those are two of the most overrated programs year after year.

Notre Dame won 4 of its titles before the first Baby Boomer (aka you) was born. 7 of them before 1950. You seriously overrate the value of Notre Dame’s brand. It meant something in like 10-12 states decades ago but it only means something in like 4-5 states now. No one south of Indianapolis gives one iota of a frick about Notre Dame. They had to start playing ACC teams to create a presence in the South and still no one gives a shite about them.
