Coming off a weekend of NCAA tournament watching, Serena and Matt debate the college football "blue blood" landscape, including one hot-ish Big Ten-related take, and then revisit a rather sweet weekend for both Michigan basketball (which is now in pure gravy territory) and Michigan hockey (which has celebrated with one banner and might damn well get another)
- What makes a Blue Blood?
- Part history, part success -- you know it when you see it.
- Can you become a Blue Blood?
- Definitely -- Serena uses Duke Basketball as a case study
- Can you lose Blue Blood status?
- Matt argues that you can by picking on a Big Ten foe
- Who are the indisputable Blue Bloods?
- Michigan
- ND
- Texas
- Oklahoma
- OSU
- USC
- Alabama
- Most people include Nebraska -- not including them is a hot-ish take
- Who is on the cusp?
- Serena takes up the mantle for Tennessee
- Auburn
- PSU
- LSU
- Georgia
- Michigan Basketball goes to the Sweet 16
- Win over Tennessee is gravy
- Impressive stuff from Eli Brooks and T. Will
- This team could beat Villanova or lose by 20 -- who knows?
- Michigan Hockey hangs a banner
- Number one overall seed is as much as you can ask for
- Defense coming along just in time for the tournament
- The draw is about as good as you could hope for
- Michigan Women also advance to the Sweet 16
- Michigan is an "everything school."
