Is Nebraska still a blue blood?

[Lance Armstrong]

Oh Bullshit.


Yep. We have water and everything.

I mean, what do you have? 5-7, or 6-7 type depth in your pool?

Depends, I live in an actual city with plenty of pools.

 

[Lance Armstrong]

Don't play year round obviously.

In the Winter, we travel to anywhere but Texas.

Thank you for that

So that 3K is for about 8 or 9 months? What is the actual season for being able to play?

Can usually play on occasion starting in March and sometimes are able to play into later November if we don't get hit with large snowstorms. Obviously it's more spotty at those times.

Really.

That is so charming. Lincoln is such a backwoods out in the middle of nowhere kind of place that we just don't have any pools.

Obviously, where you live, is where all the pools and stupid fucks live.

Blue blood status is something that is earned. Nebraska has the resume. The Huskers earned the status and that does not change. Yes they are A blue blood

As are Texas, Michigan and USC. All blue bloods over the course of time. But none of them have been worth a shit the past few years.

Alabama,Texas,USC,Michigan,Oklahoma,Ohio State,Nebraska,Notre Dame are blue bloods. The only other you can make a case for is the Vols IMO. Blue blood status runs deep. Not sure what course of time you are going by. But that sounds like an Oregon theory

Nope. Oregon isn't a blue blood...not even a new blue blood.

Oregon and Oklahoma State are Green Bloods because of the $$$ Knight and Pickens have dumped into them. It is looking like Under Armor and FedEx may be trying to move Maryland and Memphis into that group as well. They have a long ways to go though.

I think your first list are what are considered the traditional blue bloods. I can't think of another one that belongs in that group. I wouldn't include the Vols. Penn State would probably be historically closer than the Vols but I don't consider Penn State one either.

I don't consider Penn Sate a blue blood. But I also look at the full resume. The schools that were labeled blue bloods did earn that title. And still carry the mystique whether they have one a national championship in the past ten years or not. They are all cemented in history,success and tradition.

As I've said before, one man (Osborne) is responsible for all of Nebraska's titles, either as the OC or Head Coach. If one man is the reason for all your titles, you aren't a blue blood.

I played golf in Omaha from March to October. Sometimes, hitting that ball on a cold day, really stung the hands. I can remember wearing shorts in April, 1974, for high school team tryouts. I don't remember wearing shorts in October though. I probably did, I just don't remember it.

For me, prime golf time was late April to September. Mom and Dad paid for the Country Club Membership, so my annual cost was mowing the lawn, shoveling the driveway, etc.

Well if it wasn't for Bob Devaney turning the program around when he arrived in '62 maybe Osborne doesn't have the success he ended up with? Had to look this up but the 9 W's by Devaney in '62 were the most W's in a season for Huskers football since 1903 (10-0). Osborne isn't the only HC they've had that's led them to great success.

The true success of our program is Bob Devaney.

He won two national titles while bringing up a program from the near ashes back in the 60's.

His OC that he hired prior to the those 2 NCs that he won, was none other than Tom Osborne.

And with that said, you can conveniently go Fuck yourself.

Bullshit. Prior to Osborne as OC, Nebraska still had a top ten winning percentage under Devaney, including 4 conference championships in seven years. And Nebraska's titles are spread over decades.

 

[broncosmitty]

what was road attendence like under Devaney?

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Is it just me, or has this topic been brought up one way or another for the past 10 years now?

 

[HuskerOC]

Better than yours.

 

[Pariah]

Michigan and Nebraska threads are always winners.

 

[broncosmitty]

Better than yours.

Id hope so.

MAC stadiums don't usually have seats all the way around.

 

[HuskerOC]

Michigan and Nebraska threads are always winners.

Yeah, we both pretty much suck lately.

Trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. Having said that, as each year passes, it's getting harder and harder.
