Pac-Tending 06-15-11

"We are excited to begin our relationship with the Pac-12 this year and to have our game showcased as the first bowl game of the year once again."

- Executive Director of the New Mexico Bowl Jeff Siembieda, which will be held on December 17 and will pit a Pac-12 football team against a team from the Mountain West conference.
