Southern Mississippi started its game against FIU on Thursday night with only seven players dressed. The two teams went back and forth all night, and the game eventually went into overtime. Suddenly, Southern Miss found itself in a bizarre situation: it only had four players.
Three Golden Eagles players fouled out during the game, forcing Chip Armelin, Keljin Blevins, Kevin Holland and Shadell Millinghaus to close

Not the first time this sort of a thing had happened.

It was more the fact that we only had 7 players dressed out than finishing with 4. There was a game during this past season where Alabama played the final 10:41 of the game with just 3 players as 10 players were ejected for leaving the bench during an on court scuffle. They originally were left with 5 but one fouled out (11:37 mark) and another departed due to an injury (10:41 mark).

Not the worst athletic moment for Southern Miss, but definitely for this man. When Southern Miss' only 5* recruit (ESPN #23 player), DeAndre Brown, suffered that devastating leg injury his freshman year in the NO bowl. He never was the same. Likely would have had an excellent NFL career.

The teams that left for greener pastures were UAB, ODU, Charlotte, VCU and USF.
ODU to the CAA probably wasn't greener pastures as much as fear that the Sun Belt would implode and leave them somewhere worse. VCU got a big break when Tulane started flirting with the Southwest Conference because the Metro, which had already added UNC-Charlotte and South Florida from the Belt, needed another school to keep them at the NCAA minimum of six should Tulane bolt, and they took VCU. Then Tulane ended up sticking around and they went forward with the awkward number of seven until all their non-Virginia members helped form CUSA.
In the 21st century, MT's worst athletic moments for me are: 1. Losing to Vanderbilt Football in 2017; 2. Losing to Vandy FB in 2016; and 3. Losing to VU FB in 2015. And these losses are most galling because they came on the heels of having beaten the Dores three straight time before we started getting our butts kicked by a school 35 miles away. Or, we could rank our occasional upset at the hands of an FCS school in Football at home, all while trying to grow our frequently weak fanbase.

clt says we earned that one, and the 13 fans in attendance agreed.
Don't ignore the fact that the game was moved to Sunday due to a hurricane in the region and most people decided to put their houses back together (taking down shutters, putting the patio furniture and bbq stuff back out on the patio) than go to a football game. Alos, a noon game in September is not the thing to do in South Florida.

Know some guys on the team with him. Every single one says he didn't rehab, had a terrible attitude, and basically thought it was all about him. Didn't try in practice, then wondered why he didn't get playing time.

That play literally made me nauseous me when I saw it.
No other UTEP fan has contributed to this thread so I’ll add my opinion. There are many moments to pick from but I’ll say this past season tops them all off. Everyone jumped off the ship. Seam Kugler quit four games into the season. Bob Stull “retired” in the middle of the year. Tim Floyd also “retired” a few games into the season. It resulted in horrendous results on the field and hardwood. At the same time thanks to the old regime leaving we now have the hope to improve and live up to our potential.

clt says this is why Florida is not in the south. BBQ is a noun, not a verb.

This was in 1982 and has plagued NT ever since. NT went from a period with three straight first round NFL draft picks and a very successful too short Hayden Fry era to almost total irrelevance as a 1aa team. Although NT returned to D1 in 1995, it is just now IMO recovering from that almost fatal athletic decision.
No one loss or bad season in any sport can come close.
This was REALLY REALLY bad, but also I would like to point out our loss to FCS Portland State 66-7 on homecoming. And yes PSU scored 66 straight against us & then we got a garbage time TD. It’s the worst loss in college football history of an FBS to an FCS team. It had a positive note after though, in that we fired our HC & AD.
I wasnt a student at North Texas yet when we went down to 1AA, so Ill have to second the Portland State loss. I was sooo embarassed. Im still embarrassed by it now that I think about it. But it was the defining moment that led to wholesale changes in the athletic dept. Now we are trending up in nearly every sport. Sometimes you have to hit the rockiest of bottoms to begin the upward ascent. And we definitely hit it.
