GGSM: 2002

Houston: 10/6/02-8/31/06

The Houston Cougars entered the 2002 season riding a 15-game losing streak and faced a Rice team coming off an 8-4 season in their first game, but they managed to pull off the upset winning 24-10.

Rice: 8/31/06-10/5/06

Rice followed their season opening loss with losses to Michigan State, Nevada Reno, and Frenso State, but then Louisiana Tech came to town and the Owls won 37-20.

Louisiana Tech: 10/5/02-10/19/02

After losing 37-34 to previously winless SMU, Louisiana Tech took on Nevada Reno and won in a shootout 50-47.

Nevada Reno: 10/19/02-11/2/02

The Shame-Mask gaining loss to La Tech marked the third week in a row that a team had scored 50 or more in the Nevada. Nevada went 1-2 in those games, but the following week, when the score was only 24-6, Nevada came out on the winning side, beating SMU.

SMU: 11/2/02-11/16/02

SMU started the season losing their first seven games, but then when the Shame Mask was on the line, they beat Louisiana Tech. The next time the Shame Mask was on the field, they were not so lucky losing to Nevada. However, they were fortunate enough to play UTEP the next week and won 42-35.

UTEP: 11/16/02-end of the season

UTEP finished the 2002 season, a year in which they won two games (one was against a Div. IAA team) and were the only team to lose to Tulsa, with a loss to Louisiana Tech after getting the Golden Gopher Shame Mask.
