What is the worst way to lose as a team and as fans?

[Ten Toed Sloth]

A) Being up 35-10 going into the 4th quarter and losing by one point. (UCF vs Baylor)

B) Being up 29-0 at halftime and losing in double OT. (Colorado vs Stanford)

C) Being up 30-10 with 6:12 to go in the game and let your opponent score 21 unanswered points to lose by 1 point. (Boise State vs Colorado State)

D) The beat down FAU put on us.

D. USF Getting  beatdown and embarrassed to a team they were favored to beat on homecoming.

E. All of the Above.  Losing sucks.

D. Absolute beatdown with almost nothing positive to point to on Offense (except for perhaps Nay'Quan eclipsing 100 yds) , Defense, or Special Teams. The other 3 you mentioned at least had something positive at some point in each of those games to build upon. Something looked broken with us vs. FAU.

D. There is no question. Like not even close. It's one thing to be a bonehead and blow a lead. It's another to be completely inept, incompetent, and at the absolute mercy of your opponent.

I would say the 35 unanswered points scored by FAU at USF's homecoming in 2023 constitutes the worst way to lose. Losses are one thing, beat downs are quite another. Especially at marquee games like homecoming.  Losses are expected - by this program at this point in time - but it's not like we were playing Ohio State or Washington. This was our peer: FAU.

We get to have preferences on losing now, what a time to be a fan

Being considered peers with FAU and then getting beat down by them at homecoming. 0 pride left in the tank. I just tell people that I went to college in Florida. Otherwise college football comes up and that conversation is too painful.

In a few weeks people maybe praising losing by less again and moral victories.
