and SMU Basketball...

- is ranked #8 in the country - ahead of Duke, Kentucky & Arizona.
- has been ranked 23 weeks over the past three years.
- is led by arguably the most famous and best coach in the sport.
- has had sellouts or near sellouts for every home game over the past three years where the team is 38-3.
- best player is one of 25 finalist for college basketball POY.
- is going toe-to-toe with the likes of Kansas, OU, UT and Arizona for recruits.
- is talked about during the broadcast of almost every college bball game on ESPN.

I'm sure there is more but this is what comes to my mind. For a fanbase that has been starved of any success over the past 30 years, this is awesome.

Great post LA, and being one of those 30 year starved fans you mentioned, this rarefied air we are currently breathing is a little surreal at times.

I am savoring every minute of SMU basketball right now and I hope Larry lives to be 100!

Yes. This little run takes me back to my college days with Koncak, Wright, and Butch Moore. This is arguably a lot better since there is so much more national media exposure. We are indeed in great times. We must savior it cause it's been a long hard road.

Thanks Godfather.
