'SEC Shorts' returns to mock blue blood college football programs that have fallen on hard times
Good news to start your workweek, “SEC Shorts” just posted a new video.
The comedy video team over at “SEC Shorts” is back and better than ever this summer as the group recently posted a video mocking former college football blue blood programs that have fallen on hard times.
While there are several options to select from around the nation, “SEC Shorts” went hard after Nebraska, Texas and Michigan on this episode.
Check out the new “SEC Shorts” video below or on the official “SEC Shorts” YouTube page:
Funny as always. I halfway expected them to take a shot at UT since we have been substandard for a while, aside from a brief uptick under Botch Jones.
Well the title says blue bloods so obviously we wouldn’t include Tennessee in that. I’m kidding, I know that UT is actually a sleeping giant on this track Fulmer and Pruitt have them on once again.
Blue Bloods don’t fall on hard times, that’s kinda what being a Blue Blood is all about, maintaining a relevance. Teams who fall on hard times are simply no longer Blue Blood until they get back to being one. Nebraska, Tennessee, USC, FSU, Miami, UCLA ect all FORMER Blue Bloods who are in the same boat as everyone else now simply trying to become one.
Booches…Agreed…Of all the teams you listed…Miami sticks out to me. With that Great Weather & Great Athletes In-State…How can a Program like that be Irrelevant this long ? There’s gotta be Some Head Coach out there who can bring back that “Swag”. I believe they only draw 30,000 fans per game.
Have you BEEN to Miami lately?!?!? You better know how to speak Spanish. The crime rate down there is ridiculous, too. The Miami campus in itself is nice but the influx of Cubans and New Yorkers/Jersies are unbearable in that area.
Yes I travel to Mimi on business about 4-5 times a year. The University of Miami is located in Coral Gables. It is a real Crossroads of The Americas as far as population…but Coral Gables does not have the violent crime as that of certain areas of Miami. So…Yes, I’ve been there…not since January as the virus cases are exploding there.
Look on the bright side, influx of Cubans and New Yorkers has got mean great food is getting to Miami. Don’t get me wrong, I like coon and crawfish as much as the next billy bob in southeastern USA, but New Yorkers have an appreciation for culinary infusions of flavor in their cuisine that most areas just don’t strive for. Cuban cuisine is quite different, but emphasizes the importance of intense yet savory flavor to the same degree.
Don’t tell on yourself too much there doubledeuce.
Yes, you’re probably right MattyJ. That’s my mistake.
They gotta do it just like everyone one else, make the right hire and hope for the best. It’s not easy, it took Bama nearly 30 years and finally hiring Saban to become a Blue Blood like they once were under Bear Bryant (if Blue Blood was even a thing back in those days)
I wouldn’t put Miami in the blue blood category. They have only had 15 ten win seasons in their history. They were irrelevant until the early 80’s and had about a twenty year run with some great teams but have been mediocre since 2004 with only one 10 win season over the last 15 years.
I don’t think I’d count Miami as a Blue Blood
Nebraska was the first team to come to mind after reading the headline. I don’t even think “National Champion” Coach Scott Frost can help them.
Can’t say “bluebloods” without the historical narrative to back it up. I’m not sure that Michigan is nearly as bad off as Nebraska or Texas. Do you have to win a title to break the curse?
If so, lots of teams should join that list. Michigan, Texas, in their heyday, never came close to the NCs won by their nemesis and rival in places like Oklahoma and Ohio State.
If not for Alabama, UGA would have 2-3 championships in the last decade. In retrospect I’d rather be UGA over the last decade than 98% of other football teams. But still no championships to show for UGA’s successes makes it feel a little empty. So yeah I think a Natty breaks the curse.
Delusional.
Debatable, sure, but certainly not delusional.
Seriously? A play away in both 2012 (uga would have walked over ND) and 2017, and we can debate if UGA could have done something in 18. That’s 2-3. Wanna really debate if that’s delusional or not?
Well it’s debatable at best but not a definite like you want to portray…
Most thought UGA would walk over SC last season right? You never know till you play the game…
It’s hard to overlook a team when it’s the last game of the year though.
What game was Texas?
What game was the 2014 Sugar Bowl? Same thing happened to UGA and Bama. Team wasn’t in it. Players skipped the game. That game meant to UGA until they lost it and were embarrassed. You think Baker and Walker skip that game if it’s the Natty?
See there is a problem with that though… You hade numerous players from UGA talking about being disrespected by not making the playoff and how they were going to use the Texas game to make a statement that they should have been in the playoff… You can find the article on dawgnation with all the player quotes..
So the team wasn’t in it yet they were running their mouth about making a statement? LMaO
Numerous players made statements but did the team come out with a statement? Did Baker back up those claims before he sat the game out? Did Walker? You think Kirby would have played true freshmen in that game coming off of off-season ACL injuries in Ojulari and Wilson had he felt it was an all or nothing game? It’s not the same as a championship or playoff game, convince me otherwise. You haven’t yet.
I don’t care if you’re convinced otherwise or not. The players running their mouth as they did doesn’t make it appear they were overlooking or not taking Texas seriously….
You being convinced about it or not doesn’t change my opinion of it…
I’m closer to the situation than you are so maybe you ought to think my word would have a little more weight than yours. “you won’t change my mind” isn’t a good way to have a discussion.
You may feel like an empty blue blood, but GA is still a blue blood none-the-less.
If Georgia is a blue blood then Auburn is too. We actually have won a national championship the last decade and went to the championship game another time.
Well, I’m saying a Title doesn’t necessarily accompany being a blue blood. Do you, or did you consider Colorado a blue blood? They’ve won a title more recently than GA. The bar is are you legitimately right there year in and year out? GA I think meets that bar more-so than Auburn, who is more sporatic than consistent, like Colorado was in the late 80’s early 90’s. I’m not saying Auburn isn’t a good team most years because they are and they may very well be considered a BB, but I would pause to say “if GA is a blue blood then that means Auburn is too.”
Auburn has won more Nattys and played for more… IMO Auburn’s record would be better if they were in the East and UGA’s would be worse in the west…
Most agencies only list 4 or 5 teams as true “blue bloods” of CFB…
UGA hasn’t hit Auburn’s highs but they have been no where near their lows over the last decade
A blue blood is a little longer running history then just the last decade IMO.
And what kind of a run was Bama on prior to 2010? You have to be 60+ yrs old to remember the Tide being really good year in and year out before Saban arrived. Blue blood is not a forever thing, it fluctuates from time period to time period and right now a lot of teams who were former blue bloods are finding it hard to actually be one. Bama finally got back there after hiring Saban, some of these other schools have fallen are still trying.
Blue bloods has a different meaning for different people. Nothing is set in stone with the term, but there does seem to be somewhat of a general consensus. UGA is not a part of that consensus. Alabama is the only SEC team listed. LSU and UF are normally listed next.
“Blue blood has a different meaning for different people.” Stop right there, that says it all. Anything more than that is just blah blah blah and has a real danger of contradicting that very truth.
Everything I wrote is fact. Yours is all just your opinion backed by nothing.
Bama never stopped being one… Your posts get more stupid by the minute….
Sorry, but Bama was not at all a blue blood during their 25+ years of mediocrity prior to Saban.
LSUMSC: The only thing you wrote that was fact is “Blue blood has a different meaning for different people.” That’s why I said you should just stop there because nothing you wrote past that is fact, you simply regurgitated someone else’s opinion.
Well sure they were.. I mean pretty much everyone but you considered them a blue blood. Even during that stretch Bama still had more NCs, More Conf championships and more total wins that any team in the conference because everything just doesn’t disappear because you have a down stretch..
You can look at lists of Blue blood programs that actually support my opinion.. You won’t find anything to support yours other than you being a dumba$$…
“everyone” = you, That’s it.
Very odd takes. You still can’t find a single source anywhere to support your opinion. Since the term was first used in college football, Alabama, Ohio State, OU, USC, Michigan, Notre Dame, Nebraska, and Texas have been the teams with that title. In recent years, some have taken Nebraska and Michigan our of the mix and added LSU and Clemson. Other schools have been called blue bloods at different times, but weren’t able to sustain it. FSU and Miami are examples.
Dumba$$ = you… Your opinion is only supported by you…
LSUSMC: Yes, that’s exactly what I’m saying, being a blue blood fluctuates from time to time. Some former blue bloods have fallen and are finding it hard to get back there. I mean you call it an odd take then basically say the same thing. Also, simply winning a title then going back to not winning them doesn’t characterize a blue blood, like the Colorado example I gave.
I don’t think winning a title is a necessary component to being considered a blue blood. Nebraska was a blue blood for a very long time before they ever won one. I don’t think a missed 2pt conversion is the difference between Miami being a blue blood and Nebraska not being one throughout the 80’s and 90’s until NU finally got one. OU hasn’t wont a Title since 2000, but are they considered a Blue blood today because they won THAT title? I doubt it. Blue blood is just a team that year in and year out has great seasons on a national level.
OU has 7 NCs and 900 wins is why they’re a blood blood… Miami has a little over 600 wins and isn’t close to being considered a blue blood..
Both Nebraska and Miami were considered blue bloods back then.
Nebraska is still considered a blue blood… Almost all articles and taking heads list them…
I can’t find a single one that considers Miami a Blue Blood… You know of one?
This is what ESPN considered a blue blood…
“What are the most important programs in the history of college football?
It’s a thorny, fun, fascinating question that we posed to 12 of our writers. We asked them to rate every current FBS program on a scale of 1-10, based on each school’s overall impact on the history of college football.
The rankings below list the school, then their average score. The top five finished with unanimous 10 scores, and we rounded up from 9.5 for those that just missed a perfect score.
The end result? Eight schools qualify for what we’re calling blue bloods — the royalty of the game.”
We also know most talking heads love to live in the past. That’s why some schools will always be blue bloods in their eyes and in their articles. Nebraska is no blue blood, TN is no blue blood, USC is no blue blood. Right now they’re just like every other non-blue blood, hiring coaches every 4 years to find them one to get back to relevancy while for now just hoping not to get completely slobber-knocked when they play a current blue blood. Bama was in the same boat for a few decades until they landed Saban.
Again the title blue blood is usually applied to teams that has a winning tradition and has impacted the CFB landscape through the years. Teams with 900 plus wins have obviously done something don’t you think? UGA still hasn’t won 900 games…
I’ll agree with the talking heads on this one but hey your opinion is worth something to you if nothing else…
Yes it is, thank you! Not all of us need an agency, an expert, or a talking head tell us what direction to go, how to walk a straight line or what 900 wins mean. Some of us are ok looking side to side, considering former and current landscapes and thinking on our own to form our own opinions.
Congratulations on that achievement… You can have any opinion you like. It can be supported by numbers and other opinions or it could be a wild a$$ guess based off of nothing but what you want to believe…
Well at some point over half P5 schools will have 900 wins and they’ll all be blue bloods. They can rename the SEC to Blue Blood Conference USA. Smile, it’ll be a good thing.
And they still won’t be blue bloods… Do you think the teams already over 900 wins are just not going to win anymore games?
I guess your level of thought is to be expected since you believe Miami was a blue blood at one point…
The next closest team to Bama’s win total in the SEC is the Vols and they’re about 80 games behind… Michigan has won 130 more games than UGA…
These teams aren’t Johnny come lately…
You’re not smiling. Don’t be afraid to look side to side every now and then little lamb, it’s liberating and informative.
I smile every time I see you post. I know when I see your name it will be something ridiculous and you don’t disappoint… You’re like Wolfman JR….
Nothing I posted is ridiculous, by any means. You just don’t like a lot of what I post. But that’s on you, not anyone else.
Right… You get your ridiculous crap called out by LSU fans all the time. It’s hilarious watching you try to defend your ignorant comments..
Also calling Miami a Blue Blood is ridiculous…
Lmao, speaking of ridiculous. Now you’re turning into a complete disaster, again. Suit yourself.
End of thread.
The disaster was your replies to Nobleman.. He broke a foot off In your a$& and with each reply you made it just got deeper…. After that exchange you should be wiping your nose with shoelaces…
You’re a fool.
Nobleman didn’t even realize Scott Linehan was unemployed when Orgeron hired him. That’s not quite the disaster you are, but close.
He broke off In your a$$…
What are you gonna do kick me with your shrimp boot? I can boil a whole pound of shrimp before you figure out which boot goes on which foot. Nobleman got caught trying to act like the NFL was his forte. He spiraled fast, but not as fast as you do.
He hung a foot in your a$$…
He had to pull it out of yours first.
You must be walking funny after he broke off in that a$$ like he did.
Don’t worry, I’ve been to Tuscaloosa. I walk upright, my arms don’t drag to the ground and I don’t grunt when I talk so I don’t really blend in with the locals at all. You should be happy he took his foot out of your ass and put it in someone elses, but you’re still bitter. I don’t get it.
That foot is up to his knee in your a$$…
Well did the foot break off or the knee break off? Now you’re contradicting yourself, I don’t even need to do it for you anymore. Pick one.
Blowing your nose with shoelaces…. He owned that a$$..
I knew you couldn’t answer it. Let me guess, another copy paste reply is coming from you in a fleeting attempt to gain some type of sense of worth in life.
Nebraska also has over 900 wins to go with their 5 NCs..
No USC?
No UM?
No FSU?
FSU is a school that I’d love to have them make fun of lol. I’m not fond of USC either.
Cheers to whoever made SEC Shorts. They’ve made me laugh so many times if I had a dollar for every time I laughed, I’d be a millionaire.
I consider Alabama as the only true BB in the SEC. LSU,UF and UGA in that order, while impressive, haven’t quite reached that threshold. All 3 can change that this coming decade by replacing Bama at the top of the conference and given Saban’s age might just happen. In all likelihood by the end of the decade there will be a new coach in Tuscaloosa and remember what happened the last time they needed to replace a legend.
I remember vividly what happened when Urban Meyer left Gainesville a decade ago. The big question is when do the Gators start replacing all those wins? The second would be, will Florida ever pull the massive “blueblood” recruits into their program again.
That would seem like the more pressing problem for Gatorland than when Big Bad Bama stops beating up on the SEC.
Where is Georgia? Oh I’m sorry…this was about teams that use to be blue bloods and not teams that are desperately trying to be one!! Geaux Tigers!!
