I'm glad the FF this year is comprised of teams from ALL of the power conferences

Call me a traitor I'm sure, but I am not sold on UConn being considered a blueblood just yet. Calhoun is the man and has certainly got us in the discussion, but I wouldn't call UConn a blublood until we can prove we can compete at the same level post-Calhoun.

UConn is not a blue blood in the sense that UConn doesn't have the history of the true blue bloods.

UConn is just as elite as those blue bloods.

Traitor!

Kidding. But in seriousness I do think we tend to underrate ourselves a little bit. What was Kentucky pre-Rupp? This isn't a situation where a hot coach stuck around 5-10 years and temporarily built a program (see: Pitino at Providence or Squid-boy at UMass). Our coach has stuck around 25 years and permanently built a program. That's the type of longevity you need to build something real. It's easy to unravel a 5 year flash in the pan (hi Bruiser!) but it takes a lot more to unravel a 20 plus year goliath. That's what we are.

Nothing is guaranteed, particularly with the conference turmoil. But I remain pretty confident in the future.
