Are we finally Blue Blood?

[Khal Drogo]

Blue Blood is about royalty. We aren't royalty. This is America. We're the ones who buy their estates when they're broke. Let them wear tweed and be sanctimonious about antiquated titles. We'll just keep winning.

Red white and blue bloods

And we won two of those

Can’t believe they had to show a loser. Guess it paid to beat up 16 seeds.

I don't want to hear about bluebloods. Kentucky and UCLA are last century's news. We are THE #1 program now.

 

[That Guy]

Nice to hear from Kevin. Hopefully he and the school are on better terms now and we'll be seeing him around the program sometime in the future.

Absolutely!

 

[KemBuckets21]

One might say we are a royal blue blood

 

[TheChamps990411]

No. We are the next level up.

New bloods

 

[Bboy Lace]

Cold Blooded

We're above the rest. We need a blood tier above blue.

 

[RayRay19]

Are we a blue blood?

"I DON'T CARE, 6 in 25!"

We the New Bloods.

 

[RayRay19]

New bloods

This needs to stick. Someone tell Storrs South and all on Twitter so Hurley sees it.

UConn is the TOP DOG in college hoops and has been since 1999
Blue Blood is a term that is overused and is taboo

 

[Staven]

I'm tired of people questioning the legitimacy of this program. The numbers speak for themselves. If people continue to question the program after this years national championship they just don't have any common sense.

 

[dingaling]

Who cares what people want to label it as. We have the best program in college bball. That seems like a much better label to have.

 

[BugsyCT]

We have the most titles of anyone in the 64-team field, 3-pt line, shot clock era.

We're good at this. Not every year is a dominant year, but we win championships when we get the opportunity. 12-1 in FF games, 6-0 in National Championship games.

Best basketball school of the 21st Century.

 

[JSB60]

We are UConn. The other schools can try to measure up.

 

[EROCK CONN]

We are a blue blood. End of discussion. Let’s move on.

 

[Palatine]

People think that our history as a winner started with Calhoun. No question he was the architect of the Huskies as an elite program. But he be built on a foundation of a strong regional program. Our blood wasn't blue back then but our brand was winning

[UconnMICK]

Blue Plasma!

 

[T-Squared]

UConn is basketball royalty. They are the new gold standard program. Storrs is the basketball capital of the world.

 

[Matrim55]

Gold standard.

 

[Waquoit]

I hate reading how UConn "started in 1999" when they had 7 Sweet 16's and 4 Elite 8's in the 1990's. Meanwhile. Izzo gets a parade for just making the Dance.

 

[Hunt for 7]

Blue Blood? We run this spit!!

 

[Hunt for 7]

WTF! The refs let him bump, bump, elbow his way to a shot. He looked like Domask from Illinois. Maybe the strategy should be to take someone that probably wouldn't get playing time (Singare?) and have had him absolutely hammer the hell out of Edey once or twice. "Keep up the s- - -, a'whole".

Don't like the rule interpretation that lets shooters create space by fouling.

I can’t believe someone else said it. If it were a close games I thing you would have seen a form of Hack a Shaq. Because the way they were letting him bang to get position it would have been better to foul him and let him try to make the free throws.

 

[Magic32]

If Calapari can claim Arkansas as a Blue Blood we must be beyond that.
