Umm the answer would be yes. Every program Blue Blood or not bitches and complains when things suck. Nobody wants to lose and nobody wants to be treated unfairly. Neb has at least 10 years of Blue Blood status no matter what the records say.
Is Nebraska still a Blue Blood program?

Yes we are and I’m not even going to touch the stupid “Does the other Blue Blood teams ADs whine” comment. BTW, No one is whining about playing OSU, they are whining about the BIG 10 changing the Purdue game or Rutgers game we initially had for OSU game suddenly for game 1 of the season. That’s the issue.

have you followed college football or have you just recently become a fan?
lol wow, 1983, 1986, 1996, 2000....that it? You sure there isn’t any in the 1970s or 1960s too? Hey, maybe the 1950s and 1940s might have a few too. Keep going my man, you can find more. I believe in you. If you noticed I even edited my post because I was apparently wrong on my GUESS there but hey, keep digging, you can find more. You can do it....

USC v Alabama was slated to start the season this year
again - have you just recently started to follow college football?
how could a supposed Neb fan not recall Neb v Penn State Kickoff classic featuring Turner Gill/Mike Rozier/Irving Fryar -- one the greatest Neb teams of all time?
please tell me you aren't posting in a thread regarding Neb being a blue blood and then discounting games in the 60s - 70s - 80s and 90s? - you can't be that dull-witted
Nebraska isn't a blue blood without those eras
Still? Have I made posts in the past questioning NU's "Blue Blood" status? I have a terrible memory, so I very well could have and not remember it.
That said, after further thought, in historical context I would agree that NU is one of the few 'Blue Blood" programs of college football. However, the main point I think I was trying to convey is that this isn't something that will live in perpetuity. If NU doesn't start winning big games again, at some point we'll no longer be considered a "Blue Blood". I feel we're getting close to that point.
yes, once you're a blue blood, you always are.. it's not like other blue bloods have not had droughts before, and long ones.
I went back and started looking at the school history for some of the other blue bloods, and they too had droughts and then I went and looked at Nebraska's.. people forget we had a string of 9 & 10 win seasons with Bo that didn't look too bad.
When you look at the actual data, we look the same or better than many other blue blood programs.
find the school history link on these pages and you can get a feel for long term success of each program.
