Message: [QUOTE="nwhoopfan, post: 5101686, member: 7894"] Forever though? Is UCLA still a blueblood in men's hoops? It's been a LONG time since Wooden retired, and they haven't done much since. Or Indiana for that matter. My point is, I think at some point you have to slip out of blueblood status when you clearly aren't at that level any more and haven't been at that level for decade after decade. Women's hoops just doesn't have nearly as much history as men's, so establishing blueblood status is a bit different. I know you said don't, but you have Tennessee and UConn of course as the two programs that just stand well above all the others as far as what they have done. After that maybe Stanford is next, Notre Dame...Baylor more recently and of course Dawn has turned South Carolina into a juggernaut.. I'm not sure anyone else qualifies. Texas was good fairly early on, but has been mostly a sleeping giant. Louisville might be the next closest of anybody. There are a few schools with one Championship and not much else, really can't include them. USC was another early powerhouse that faded away for several decades, maybe is finally reawakening. LSU had a good run under Pokey and now are back again with Mulkey, maybe they can get there. Maryland was maybe knocking at the door but instead of pushing through, they've faded away. [/QUOTE]
