GGSM: 2000

The 2000 season saw the Golden Gopher Shame Mask visit all three service academies.

Air Force: 11/27/99-9/9/00

Air Force easily beat IAA Cal State Northridge in their season opener, and nicely warmed up, the beat BYU the following week 31-23.

BYU: 9/9/00-9/23/00

BYU lost to Mississippi State before UNLV came to town and the Cougars won 10-7.

UNLV: 9/23/00-9/30/00

UNLV had to wait only one week to get rid of the mask when they beat Air Force 34-13.

Air Force: 9/30/00-10/7/00

Air Force's second be-Shame-Masked stint of 2000 was much shorter thanks to Navy, who came to Colorado Springs having already lost their first four games of the season. Air Force won 27-13 and finished the season 9-3.

Navy: 10/7/00-12/2/00

Another rough year for the Naval Academy in 2000. After gaining the Golden Gopher Shame Mask, the Midshipmen lost to Notre Dame, Rutgers, Toledo, Tulane, and Wake Forest to set up the season ending match-up with 1-10 Army. But hey, you always have throw out the records for the Army-Navy game. This year was no exception with Navy getting the 30-28 upset win.

Army: 12/2/00-end of the season

Army had no more games to play in 2000.
