Not gonna get any love around here with that link title.... But really good article
What do you mean? Everyone on this board has the utmost respect for the AU Tigers and I imagine they would completely agree.

I actually agree with a lot of this... Kinda like that rich family that is rich because they have always been rich... guy that made his fortune thing.. makes so much since... the upper class isn't necessarily ranked higher or lower... its like saying Bill Gates is rich because he made his fortune vs the Waltons are rich because daddy gave them money... Walton family may have more money but they didn't get it by themselves but they also didn't lose all of their money.... ND may be going through a recession but they are def still a rich school... stock might crash soon though...

I'm just talking about money in general... ur over analyzing the metaphor lol... I was saying Bama for instance have had the financial(name brand) that a coach has passed down a history of doing well over time and they still stay rich(winning) but FSU has made their money over an entire lifetime... UF for instance has had the resources to be rich and they have been around all the time but until recently have they made it to the richest... FSU went from poor to rich, and Bama has sustained being rich...

Haha, I just think that "blue blood" list has about half those programs that don't belong. Obviously, the OP wants to come up with some homer criteria to put a program he covers on there. Not saying that those programs are not excellent or have had some shining moments.
It's not just what a program has accomplished in their conference, or regionally..it's excellence that spans nationally over the course of a university's history. If you can look at the history of a program and see several eras of dominance and excellence, then they are in that upper level of "blue bloods". Whatever that means.
Lebron James will never be as good as Michael Jordan, thus we should get rid of his nickname, "The King".

I disagree on the statement that we don't have kings, USC in the West, Oklahoma/Texas in the Midwest, Alabama in the South, and Michigan/OSU in the North. I think you move Tennessee and UGA out of the blue bloods to the Corporate Elite, LSU and UF to the Nouveau Rich, and the list doesn't look half bad.

auburn cracks me up. 2 bcs bowls, 3 double digit wins, and 3 losing seasons in the in the last dozen years is elite? not even elite in your own division, much less conference, and certainly not nationally.
