GGSM: 2003

UTEP: 11/16/02-10/4/03

The Miners of UTEP did not have a great 2003 season. They started by being one of only two teams to lose to Arizona in 2003, losing 42-7. The next week, they lost 34-13 at home to I-AA California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo. They followed that up with a home shutout loss to San Diego State, 34-0, and then a 42-14 loss at Louisville. Then UTEP was able to get a little practice winning when the I-AA Sam Houston State team that would go 2-9 came to El Paso, with the Miners taking out their frustration with a 59-14 win. Coupling this new found confidence with taking on a winless team the next week, UTEP was able to pass along the Shame Mask to SMU with a 21-19 win. It was unfortunately their last of the season, and they finished 2-11. However, since then, things have turned around with back-to-back 8-4 season in 2004 and 2005.

SMU: 10/4/03-end of the season

Southern Methodist went 0-12 in 2003. After getting the Shame Mask, they lost to San Jose State, Boise State, Tulsa, Fresno State, Louisiana Tech, Rice, and TCU. However, the season ended on a relatively high note when they only lost 20-13 to the TCU team that started 10-0 in 2003.
