Thank You Larry Brown
Posted: Sun Feb 09, 2014 10:30 pmIn the past 5 weeks, SMU has defeated 3 ranked teams.
From 1988 until Brown’s arrival in 2012, SMU BB went 2-54 against ranked teams.
Post-DP, SMU FB has only defeated 2 ranked teams (TCU PB era / TCU JJ era). The last win against a ranked team prior to those 2 victories was most likely the UT trouncing (44-14) @ Texas Stadium back in 1985. That's almost 30 years. Assuming SMU played ~1.5 ranked teams per year, this would equate to a 2-46 record against ranked teams after the UT win.
Add the BB & FB records together and SMU was 4-100 against ranked programs prior to LB's arrival.
We are now 3-0 in 5 weeks.
Simply amazing and once again, THANK YOU LB!!!
