Do you consider Penn State a blue blood in college football?

Do you consider Penn State a blue blood in college football? Many people interpret the term blue blood differently. To me, it's belonging to the original aristocracy yet others would consider it as part of the current elite ruling class.

When I see Penn State left off blue blood lists I always counter with the following:

It's been written that Penn State football has two national championships and that's used against Penn State in consideration for blue blood status. The NCAA recognizes Penn State football as having FOUR national championships: 1911, 1912, 1982 and 1986 and don't get me started about 1968 and 1994. The NCAA's own website lists Penn State as co-national champions in 1911 and 1912. The link is below.

Since Penn State won not just one but TWO two national championships in the early days of college football that's certainly noteworthy for those claiming long-time early-on blue blood status because that is:
7 years before Notre Dame won their first one in 1919
13 years before Alabama won their first one in 1925
19 years before USC won their first one in 1931
30 years before Ohio State won their first one in 1942
38 years before Oklahoma won their first one in 1950
39 years before Tennessee won their first one in 1951
51 years before Texas won their first one in 1963
58 years before Nebraska won their first one in 1970.

For those that state a football program needs to be relevant in every decade:
Penn State football had multiple 11+ win seasons during the '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s and '10s, a feat Ohio State, Michigan, Nebraska, Alabama, Texas, LSU, Georgia, USC, Notre Dame, Auburn, Clemson, FSU, Florida, Miami, Oklahoma, Tennessee nor Texas A&M can claim.

Nelly Korda

for those who don't follow, she's been the best thing to women's golf in history. She's won something like 6 or 7 tournaments this season and has played lights out. So we come to this week where the US Women's Open is being played. the media has hyped her in golf circles to get ratings up.

She went out and scored a TEN on her second hole, a par three, where she put the ball in the water three times.

Demark MVP BIG 33

WR! WR! WR! It's all we hear!

Well Tyseer Denmark lit up the Big 33 game and won MVP.

Denmark: 4 rec 95 yds 3 TDs - 3 punt returns for 52 yds

All 3 Denmarks TDs came first half. All nice catches. Two were 50/50 balls he won. Other TD he caught a ball thrown little high over the middle where he went up plucked it out of the air for a TD. Some or all of his TD catches were against 4 star CB Kevin Humes who is committed to UMD.

His stats would have been even better but PA was killing them 31-0 at half and it appears 2nd half they took their foot off the gas.

Christian Evans?

Richie or Dylan where does Penn St stand with DT target Christian Evans? Are they pursuing him hard?

People remember the name Christian Evans. He's currently unranked by 3 services and rivals has him as a 5.6 - 3*.

He just won MVP at Baltimore Camp. He's extremely underrated and probably flew under the radar. He's a powerhouse that was rag dolling the D1 OL at camp. Brute raw strength he plays with and can move really well. I would have him ranked as low 4* personally as I'm sure he will be getting ranked soon by other services. Between Rupley, Adirika (who will be a DT) and Evans I think Evans is the best.

Check out his highlights:
