The University of Southern Mississippi enjoys a rich athletic history. That history includes winning traditions in all the sports the University’s Department of Intercollegiate Athletics sponsors. Bowl games, conference championships, All-American athletes, and matching athletic and academic prowess are far more the norm than the expectation.
At the end of 2006, the Golden Eagles were one of a handful of Division I schools to boast at least 13 consecutive winning seasons, a distinction they shared with the University of Michigan, Florida State University, Virginia Tech, and the University of Florida. Southern Miss had also appeared in 9 bowl games in the last 10 years. The Golden Eagles have arguably been the most dominant team in Conference USA since its founding in 1995. The Golden Eagles football team has played for 5 conference titles winning 4 of them, with their most recent coming in 2003. The Golden Eagles and Coach Jeff Bower were selected as conference team and coach of the decade respectively. The Golden Eagles football team boasts a 92% graduation rate among student-athletes, ranking it among the elite academic institutions in America.
