OSM: 2001

Eastern Michican: 11/18/00-10/27/01

EMU started the season by squeaking out a 16-12 win over IAA Southeast Missouri State, but then lost 50-3 to Maryland and 21-14 to IAA Indiana State to add another bell to the Shame Mask. Their next three losses to Western Michigan, UConn, and Ball State were less embarrassing, and then they got to play Buffalo, and they won 24-20.

Buffalo: 10/27/01-11/3/01

Possibly the best thing to happen to Kent State ever was having Buffalo join the MAC. Buffalo lost to Kent State the week before getting the Shame Mask from Eastern Michigan, and they take over for Kent State in the annual Shame Mask battle with Ohio. This year, Buffalo won that game the next week 44-0.

Ohio: 11/3/01-end of the season

Ohio lost their final three games of the season to Bowling Green, Marshall, and NC State to end the season 1-10.
