The Blue Board

Texas will never be replaced by any other team, if you mean someone else joins the blue bloods I would agree.
I do find it odd that you state Texas is the closest to the outside instead of other schools on the list but none of them will be removed from blue blood status either.

For all the Notre Dame hate, you cannot deny they will always be a blue blood. You can joke about how talent goes there and never develops but talent goes there and it will never stop.

Just like all the other blue bloods, they will climb their way back up.

It is a joke to me that Texas is even in question.

This is a dumb thread. I hate the longhorns, but they have the richest AD in the country.

I agree with you on that and I'm not trying to make the case of LSU vs Texas. But I don't think you can deny that LSU is making a great case to be among the college football elite. 3 national titles, 1 Heisman, double digit conference titles, and tons of NFL players.

Texas

miami fan is talking about other programs not being dominant every single year?

Kind of a grammar point, but you can't really say you have the best whatever, and then turn around and say someone is better. That makes you second best.

Like saying LSU was the best team in the country last year. Except Alabama, they were better.

pay attention, junior. there's a distinction between bcs teams and boise state.

15 years has nothing to do with Blue Blood status..

Don't act like a woman and take things out of context.

I'm talking about great seasons.

With all the crap Texas has going for them do you really want to throw out a stat that compares your level of greatness to Miami and so many others.

With everything that I listed, you think being able to say that you win more games then you lose is acceptable?

Is that what all that money buys you? We win more than we lose?

Which come from the 6 strongest conferences.

Is PSU in there or are we not allowed to be considered anymore? Serious question. I always thought of PSU as a top 10 program historically. Am I right or way off base?

PS for me Texas is a blue blood. Just kind of always assumed it.

I'll throw out some stats because that's the only way to settle this.. From a non-bias person.

There are lies, damn lies, and statistics.

Those win/losses do not tell the whole story. How many of those wins were vs lower level cupcakes? How many of those wins happened outside their region/conference? In the case of the SWC/SEC, because of segregation, many of the powerful programs of their time, would/could not play you.

Before Michigan fans get their panties in a wad...I was in no way referring to you in my post.
