a standard for the idiom "blue blood" ...

[BleedRed78]

you can't just dictate this kind of stuff just because you don't like someone.. remember, you can always put them on ignore if you don't want to interact with them.

That's fine if they're actual fans? Like of the team the page is built around, or amicable to relevant discussion. Which this douche is doing anything but (until he knows that the wolves are beginning to close in on him, then he suddenly pops out a single "positive" comment about Nebraska to save face).

oftentimes fans consider themselves blue bloods by status rather than accomplishment - like flagship universities in that way. so it depends on where their school hangs on the pendulum of time, whether it's today's trophies or yesterday's history lesson.

Proving my point even more.

Why revive a dead thread? It’s been dormant for nearly a month, and now you post a chart about being the most underrated? Who cares? This has absolutely nothing to do with blue blood status. I don’t get it.

oh, i disagree. it has everything to due with status. look at the teams at the bottom. almost without exception some would label each a blue blood. they are consistently overrated for that reason.

So what? Time to reclassify blue bloods? Happy to see 6 or 7 of those blue bloods before Nebraska.

How does this change the standard of blue blood programs? You know, Notre dame, USC, Texas, Michigan, NEBRASKA… this chart proves nothing about standards, the title of this thread you posted.

well, you ask a lot of questions that are probably mostly rhetorical. the subject here is blue bloods. and this chart shows that blue bloods tend to affect the narrative more than they should, certainly in preseason rankings v. actual performance.
