Fresno State learned its postseason football assignment on Sunday — the Arizona Bowl against Miami of Ohio.
That is the Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl, scheduled for Dec. 27 at 1:30 p.m., PT, at Arizona Stadium in Tucson. And yes, the game is sponsored by Snoop Dogg’s Gin & Juice brand.
The game will air on The CW (CW 59 in Fresno).
It will be the Bulldogs’ fifth consecutive bowl appearance.
This will be the first meeting between Fresno State (8-4, 5-3 Mountain West) and Miami (7-6, 6-2 MAC).
“Our staff and players look forward to embracing the bowl experience while also preparing to face a talented team in the RedHawks. This is another great opportunity for Fresno State to play in front of a national audience and represent the Valley one more time this season,” Bulldogs head coach Matt Entz said.
Miami lost 23–13 to Western Michigan in the MAC championship game. Fresno State finished one game short of a first-place tie.
Snoop Dogg is scheduled to attend the game and conduct the coin toss.
