For the second time in his twenty-three-year career as head coach at BYU, Stan Watts was hoisted onto the shoulders of his players for a brief parade on the court of Madison Square Garden following the Cougars' NIT win of 1966. Carrying the jubilant coach are Jeff Congdon, Gary Hill, and Steve...

BRIGHAM YOUNG blue blood?

A blue blood title is earned over years and years of sustained success.

Thrill

7/24/24 10:05am

Actually blue blood is a fake title that someone made up not all that many years ago.

Sea Chicken

7/24/24 10:09am

...that is generally accepted when talking about traditionally successful

Thrill

7/24/24 10:11am

The term blue bloods has been around since Shakespearean times and has been used in college basketball since the 1920s.

RootieBoy

7/24/24 10:12am

In the 1920s basketball had only been invented for 30 years.

Sea Chicken

7/24/24 10:20am

And yet that is the first known reference of it in college basketball. 🤷‍♂️

RootieBoy

7/24/24 10:28am

How come when I was a kid the 50s seemed like the olden days

44C

7/24/24 10:53am

And Indiana is kinda losing that status, but in general I agree.

Archaea

7/24/24 10:12am

First Round win a Start?

44C

7/24/24 10:16am

Gonzaga too, right?

SinkingQuffa

7/24/24 10:16am

They are almost blue blood or maybe they are already.

Archaea

7/24/24 10:18am

Realistically I think Gonzaga is what BYU wants to become.

44C

7/24/24 10:22am

I'd sure love to see it. Until three months ago, we weren't investing & committing ourselves in ways

SinkingQuffa

7/24/24 10:30am

As BYU is Gonzaga once was...as Gonzaga is BYU may Become?

cougarbouy

7/24/24 1:35pm

Arizona was kind of in this group and kind of trying to get back in

44C

7/24/24 10:23am

I think the Big12 is gonna be great for them. UA, BU, UH, KU. Dang, I'd love for BYU to push into that company.

SinkingQuffa

7/24/24 10:32am

Sitting right here where we are right now is better than I ever dreamed that BYU

44C

7/24/24 3:09pm

That was such a nice vision — we all knew at the time wouldn't come BYU again for — till at least a decade had passed.

SinkingQuffa

7/24/24 4:55pm

Don’t think they’re widely considered a blue-blood, had they won a title or 2….

NorCal_Coug

7/24/24 10:41am

It definitely is a bit of a bane for them.

SinkingQuffa

7/24/24 10:46am

I think the other qualifier is that you have to have sustained that success

7/24/24 10:53am

The Zags were doing okay quite a few years before Few, weren't they? He's been there 25+ years.

SinkingQuffa

7/24/24 10:58am

They are definitely right on the border. But if he hasn't created a true culture

7/24/24 12:51pm

I'd give the Zags a bit more credit, too, because Few — much like LaVell — rose from within the Zags staff.

SinkingQuffa

7/24/24 1:54pm

Uh... Lavell didn't rise from Gonzaga's staff.

Les IsMore

7/24/24 7:00pm

Are you sure?

SinkingQuffa

7/24/24 7:46pm

This is absolutely a qualifier. And I would say more than 2 coaches to be a

What about UCLA? Pretty non-blue blood for a very long time.

NorCal_Coug

7/24/24 10:41am

Wooden's 10 national titles secured that status, along with the few others that

Archaea

7/24/24 11:19am

Nah...look what they've done the last decade. Still pretty good.

Lifer

7/24/24 11:43am

That's okay. We'll just claim it now anyway. Rewrite the definition

OldFogey

Kid: Hey mom can we buy some Jimmer? Mom: We have Jimmer at home.

RootieBoy

7/24/24 10:06am

Dang you took this one out now. Haha

RootieBoy

7/24/24 10:15am

Oops

We're middle class that just landed a high paying job and have the potential to

Lord Jim

Need to have more apps and wins than losses in the Tourney first

7/24/24 10:21am

Reading your reply feels kind of like

44C

7/24/24 10:28am

BYU has a way to go. And it will take at least a decade. Hopefully Young

Your post looks like a website you made on Notepad+ and Arachnophilia back in 98

reagan21

7/24/24 10:26am

I wish. Never heard of a blue blood without a final four appearance.

kimdaddy35

7/24/24 10:53am

At this point, best you could call us is nouveau riche

tacallaway

7/24/24 11:15am

I would say more azure for now.

7/24/24 11:33am

Checks notes...picked to finish 9th in conference.

Lifer

7/24/24 11:44am

#Nine in this conference is pretty dame good

Not something you'll hear from a blue blood school's fans.

Les IsMore

7/24/24 6:59pm

I wouldn't put a ton of stock into one guys opinion.

kimdaddy35

7/24/24 12:42pm

I'm not. Just funny anecdote. As good as this off season

Lifer

7/24/24 1:58pm

I have a suspicion that the actual poll will have us higher.

kimdaddy35

7/24/24 2:04pm

I agree, but probably not by too much. Probably somewhere between 6-8.

Lifer

7/24/24 3:14pm

Ridiculous. Blue Blood status requires more than a new coach and a good recruits

7/24/24 12:13pm

Well Thanks….I honestly don’t think that Gonzaga is actually a blue blood.

44C

7/24/24 3:03pm

We're new money, bro. Could be worse.

KCFan85

7/24/24 12:27pm

Yeah, no money is far worse.

Archaea

7/24/24 12:33pm

About as much as Utah Football is blue blood or top tier status.

7/24/24 3:06pm

Far far away and laughable
