Message: [QUOTE="HoustonCuse, post: 882284, member: 87"] This is possibly a dumb question, but it's serious: is it just a coincidence that the "blue blood" programs all have blue as their primary color? I mean, I understand this term existed prior to its use in college basketball lingo, but is this part of the genesis of the use of the term for these particular teams? Bottom line about this is, I don't think this is a club that is accepting new members. We could win 5 titles and not be in the club because it's not the hall of fame, there are no strict requirements to get in because it is a grouping that was created post-facto. If Syracuse being the 5th winningest program of all time with well over 100 years of winning tradition, home to many all-americans, one of the greatest coaching legends of all time, etc is not enough to get into that club, nothing is.
