Eastern Michigan 11/5/83-11/3/84

Eastern Michigan became the first team to wear the Shame Mask for a second time with their eighth loss of 1983, and then lost their last two games to finish 1-10, but 0-10 against I-AA schools. Their 1984 season began with losses to two non Div. I-A opponents Youngstown State and Marshall, followed by losses to two Div. I-A opponents, and then followed that with two ties.

First, on 10/6/84, the Eagles tied Central Michigan 16-16, creating Shame Mask II (or SMII), and making me refer to the parent at the Original Shame Mask (or OSM). Then, on 10/13/83, the Eagles tied Northern Illinois 10-10, creating Shame Mask III(or SMIII).

The Eagles then went back to their losing ways with two more losses, so that they were 0-6-2 for their annual battle with Kent State, and for the fourth year in a row, the two schools met in November, and one was without a win. However, in a shocking turn of events, Kent State was 4-4, but they were still no match for EMU and lost 20-18.

Eastern Michigan finished 1984 2-7-2.
