The list of schools we've beaten in a little over two years:
Texas A&M
LSU
California
Clemson
Michigan
Stanford
UConn
Cincinnati
Memphis
Temple
I hope we don't take this for granted. Before LB, our biggest and really only significant wins in basketball or football over a twenty year period were Memphis (bball), TCU (football) and Pitt (football).

Amen Brother!
I know a lot of us go back & forth between appreciating the swag & regretting the swag.
Bottom line, we did what it takes to get our our program to a level to compete. We get a couple bigs and we're set up for success for a while if we keep recruiting kids who can keep their grades up.

Don't forget Utah in LB's first year, and a pretty good Wyoming team (twice), that had Larry Nance Jr on it, that went dancing.

Well, I also remember beating Texas Tech one year at Moody when we had Patrick Simpson and Eric Castro. And I think that same team beat a ranked Purdue squad on the road. Those were both fun wins. But other than that, I think you've pretty much summed up the big wins for SMU athletics over the past couple of decades before the LB era began.

Great thread, truly remarkable what LB, Jank and the staff, David Miller and the CofC, Hart, Turner, et al were able to do. All instrumental in giving us something we couldn't imagine just a few short years ago.
And hopefully a program with sustained success for years to come.

Not to mention being extremely relevant on the national recruiting circuit and hosting an espn gameday

Don't forget beating Kansas in football back in 2000. It's one of the most storied programs in football history.

BHop and company defeated a ranked Purdue team on the road.
Absent that win and Michigan last year, was the Stanford win was our biggest OOC road win in 20 years on an opponents court? I was thinking about that last week.

Didn't read this before posting. Yes, Purdue was ranked and on the road.
