Earlier this week, I exchanged a few emails with my old boss Steve, at one point him asking: Is this the worst team in the history of Fordham basketball….or was last year’s the worst?

This year’s F.U. Rams men’s basketball team is abysmal – 2-20 (0-10) thus far, last in the Atlantic-10. And last year’s team was likewise atrocious (3-25 (1-15). In fact, it translates to a .111 winning percentage over the last two season. However, in all the years I’ve followed Fordham basketball, I’ll always associate the 2002-03 team (my freshman year at Fordham) as the worst team I rooted for – 4-24 overall; two wins courtesy of a St. Bonaventure recruiting scandal.

An anecdote from the first game I attended…

Bob Hill (former NBA coach of the Knicks, Pacers, Spurs) was still the coach that year, and during a late January loss against Xavier some kid started a FIRE BOB HILL! chant that resulted in an altercation between the incisive fan and the moms of the Fordham players. A few months later, Fordham and Hill “agreed to amicably part ways.”

Truth be told, I was mainly there to see David West dominate for Xavier, but I’ve stuck by Fordham’s team ever since!

…

Anyone think they can top this level of lackluster? Chime in and let me know what worst team you ever rooted for was?
