2010 in Austin. Whorn fans saying "congratulations" as they looked down their noses as we walked out. They had no idea what was about to happen over the next 5-6 years. It was glorious.

I was at that game. It was a total beatdown by the Bears. My 0U buddy was ready to leave by the start of the 4th quarter.
I wasn't at the USC game in 1985 (probably not many Bears were) but it is probably the best road win BU has ever had, so I'm mentioning it here. Plus here's some video of the game.

I was also at that one. The fans around us in the stands were actually nice and kinda happy for us.
Ut fans wanted to get rid of their OC Greg Davis at the time. We had ut fans sitting around us wearing green and gold just to make their point. They sort of enjoyed that loss to little ole Baylor.

1983 in Fayetteville. 99 yards (and 35 inches, said Teaff) TD drive in the first half after a superb goal line stand. Cody Carlson hit Bruce Davis deep over the middle in the waning seconds to set up a Marty Jimerson walk off FG winner. 24-21.

And the two wins in absolute downpours in 1980. The game in Lubbock had BU in the lead at halftime, with the only time I've seen the score, 4-0. (The Tech deep snapper twice sailed the snap over the punter's head and through the end zone for safeties.) Final was 11-3, and I think TT had negative total yardage for the game.
The 46-7 blowout in College Station goes without saying.

It was glorious. My roommates and I flew out for that game when I was in grad school at Baylor.
I'll play. My top 10:
1. Aggy 1980. A torrential flood and a beatdown for the ages. The astroturf at Kyle Field was notorious for not draining, so anytime a ball carrier went down in the open field he would slide 8-10 yards on his backside.
2. Arkansas 1983. Senior year. I had finished taking the CPA exam 5pm Friday in Ft Worth, and 3 of us jumped on the road and made it as far as Muskogee OK that night. Dodged cockroaches all night long in a skanky Holiday Inn. Beautiful fall afternoon with leaf color in the distance and Jack Daniels wafting through the air. Drive for the game winning FG was a thing of beauty.
3. UT 1991. Final game of when I was in law school. We dominated all day, but it was still 0-0 at the start of the 4th. We finally broke through with 3 TDs, and UT scored a meaningless one with less than 30 seconds left. Back then you could walk out on the field at Memorial after the game, so I went down and placed a couple of pennies in the end zone (BU went to the Copper Bowl that year).
4. Colorado 2010. The first real breakthrough road win in the RGIII era. Still had to sweat out a hail mary by CU on the final play.
5. UT 2010. First time in a long time we were obviously the better team. While still celebrating in the stands after the game I get a congratulatory text from a cousin (big Arkansas grad) who had watched the game in Shanghai.
6. KState 2015. Bittlerly cold once the sun went down, but Stidham and Coleman thwarted KSt's attempts to control the clock and the game tempo.
7. SMU 1985. It was before Dale Hansen broke the SMU payment scandal, so it was 2 heavyweights going at it. SMU was down 7 and punted to BU with about 9 minutes left in the game; they never got the ball back as BU ran a perfect ball control offense that converted 3rd and short 6 times in a row.
8. UT 2014. Another dominant performance, highlighted by the blocked FG return and the fake punt when UT wasn't paying attention. Charlie Strong tried to control the clock, so the game moved very quickly. Weird factoid: both the UT game and the 61-58 TCU game the following week started at 2:30pm. Most of the UT fans left early so postgame traffic was nonexistent and I was back home in Waco by 7:30. The TCU game lasted so long, and postgame traffic was such a gridlock, that I didn't get back to my house 4 miles from FCS until nearly 8pm.
9. Wake Forest 2009. First time in years there was a hint of optimism, and there was a big BU contingent there. And it was BU's first P5 noncon road win since 1995. Then RGIII blew out his knee a couple of weeks later, postponing the resurgence.
10. Rice 1994. The only BU-Rice game in the last 40+ years of the SWC to actually mean something (both ended up in the 5-way tie for conference championship when Aggy was on probation). Crowd of around 30K, as opposed to the usual Rice crowd of 10-15K, with probably 50% being BU fans.

going off of ones I attended, WVU 2024 is my #1. We finally won in Morgantown and I didnt have to hear that stupid song play at the end of the game. Also made us bowl eligible.
2. is tougher but I will go with 2022 OU. We didnt have a huge score but we beat them 2 years in a row, won in front of a sale out crowd, got bowl eligible, and insulted them by taking a knee on break open run with no defender within 30+ yards. It was glorious. Got eternal scoreboard on them too until they choose to play us again in non-con.
Beyond that, I have seen some really fun ones on the road but hard to really rank. 2023 UCF was our biggest ever come back win but as much fun as the 4th qtr was, the rest of that game sucked haha.

2010 Colorado game in Boulder:
Went up to see this game with a group of Baylor friends. We had a blast. I sported my green felt Stetson with a gold hat band at the game. Santana's 60 yard swat of the blocked FG attempt by the Buffs was a transcendent moment. We came close to an all out brawl with some drunk CU fans that were pissed we beat them at home, after ending the prior season as National Champs, and they didn't appreciate our "Hey CU! Wouldn't want to BU" chant. That was a party

"The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone else when you're uncool."
For me I can't think of a more fun road win I attended in person than the 46-7 complete beatdown of the aggys in Collie Station in 1980 that others have also mentioned. And had Teaff not liberally played the reserves starting before half time it would've been even worse. It was totally worth getting drenched in the miserable weather and I'll never forget the sight of thousands of "always loyal to the bitter end" aggys packing the escalators to leave starting at half time.

Pre Briles when we beat them and/or had a standout season most of the UT fans tended to have a condescending "aww ain't that cute" type attitude toward us - but when CAB was done beating them 4 out of 5 years from 2010-2014 none of them thought it was "cute" any more.
Lesson learned, don't beat ut too often or a scandal will befall your school.

1990 . . .
But I was also at the 2010 game where we beat CU 31-25. Griffin was in exceptional form that game. The beginning of the end for Dan Hawkins.
2015 at Oklahoma State. What a performance by our receiving corps. Defense forced OSU into 7 straight punts. Last game Stidham played for BU.

And he didn't even make it all the way through that one as I recall third stringer Chris Johnson came in and did a great job finishing out the game.

25-0 at halftime and it wasn't even that close. Grant let us come out of the dressing room at halftime to watch the Aggie band march. Seriously. We sat in the end-zone and watched the Ags march.
39-0 going into the 4th Q. 2nd & 3rd teamers played 4th Q.
Ags were held to 92 yards rushing.
70,000 fans were drenched.

Those fans didn't think it was so cute even when we were beating them just about every year when played in Waco.
Wasn't cute in 1980 when we held them to:
9 first downs
35 yards rushing
138 total yards
They did not cross midfield until late 3rd Q.

You forgot the best stat of all:
ZERO points.
Do you remember who it was that laid a block that absolutely de-toothed a Cow defender chasing on a long BU TD run? The whole stadium gasped when he laid that poor dude out. Would be targeting today, but it was legit in 1980.

I believe it was Mike Lively (#35) who peeled back and de-cleated the UT linebacker who was chasing Dennis Gentry on his 64 yard TD run.

On the one TD the ags were credited with in the 4th quarter, wasn't there some controversy on whether the ball carrier actually broke the plain (to the point that had video replay been around back then there's a good chance it would've been over turned)? Anyway, awesome team win that day especially including you guys on the D and Singletary was every bit the monster he normally was.

Wake Forest. I was there. we won. I remember a half back pass for a touchdown.
Double-pass to/from Lanear Sampson I believe IIRC. That's game felt like a true turning point.
For me it's either 50-7 at UT (I had a sideline pass as a student photographer) or the 2010 win at CU. I've gone to a lot of other BU road games through the years hoping for great wins (Oregon State, Cal, Boston College, Miami, Nebraska, Notre Dame) but all were losses.

I was bored last night so I dialed up the Baylor @ Texas Game from 2010. Someone had posted UT @ BU in 2011 on another thread. I had a hazy memory of getting hosed by the refs in that 2010 game but not the details. It's a fun watch if you have the time. I was not there but watched on TV. Great road win. You can find it on YouTube.
Favorite road win where I was in the stands was in 1978 unranked Baylor @ No. 12 A&M. Bears won 24-6 at Kyle Field. Walter Abercrombie rushed for 207 yards. A&M expected a blowout but Bears ruined their day. Wonderful feeling leaving that stadium.
2nd best where I was in the stands @ A&M was in 1980 which featured biblical-level thunderstorms with driving rain and lightning that was heavy enough to force the afternoon game to be played under the stadium lights. Bears won 46-7. I could not see the field for parts of the first half because of all the umbrellas. I could see the scoreboard and would call out the result of the play to those around me that could not see it. It was kind of like having only a tickertape to describe a game.

I was there for that '78 Aggie game at their house as well. We came into the game 0-5 (all 7 point or less losses) at least somewhat the victims of a brutal opening schedule that included Georgia, Kentucky and Ohio State on the road. I went to the game fully expecting another loss, but Abercrombie and our D were both amazing that day. To that point he had been a redshirt in his true freshman year, but was forced to play due to injuries at the RB position and responded by setting what was at the time the single game rushing record for a BU RB. From there he continued to be an "aggy killer" for his entire BU career as we never lost a game to them when he started in our backfield and none of the games were close.
