Am I back in 1960? It sure feels like it.
That’s because the NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl announced that the New Mexico State Aggies will play against the Utah State Aggies on December 29th in Tucson, Arizona.
The “Aggie Bowl” is a rematch of the last bowl game the NM State Aggies played in, a 20-13 win over Utah State in the Sun Bowl in 1960.
There was a big bru-haha about the Arizona Bowl losing a team, which led to many people thinking NMSU was heading elsewhere, but apparently it was with the Mountain West, which was expected to send Utah State.
