If I were Wazzu, I wouldn't complain.
They've only been to like 10 bowl games in their history. James took us to 14. They're gonna need to fill out their trophy case one way or another.
Though if I were them, I'd probably turn the urn one way or the other.

I hope they dumped out the old greaser's ashes before they slapped the paint on it...

Looks like a 9-year-old did the artwork.

Can you tell me who won the CIT last March? Winning the New Mexico Bowl (or Fight Hunger Bowl for that matter) is every bit as meaningful.

Playing against a team that lost to the 11th place team in the Pac-12 to win a piece of pottery in December is always special.

Take a good long look at that trophy. It is begging to be dropped at the victory celebration.

If you are going to bash the meticulous hand-crafted artwork of Native Americans, then I'm out ...
The New Mexico Bowl trophy is one of the most unique in all of college sports. It is a Native American clay pot meticulously handcrafted by artists Marcellus and Elizabeth Media from the Zia Pueblo. The 20-inch bowl-shaped pottery features the iconic Zia sun symbol and images of football players, a deer, mountain lion, buffalo and eagle.
Elizabeth hand-coils and fires the pottery at the couple’s home studio and her husband, Marcellus, paints the clay trophies. Using a white base coat on the pot makes the Zia patterns stand out after being hand-painted in black. His final touch is colored acrylic paints depicting football players in classic game stances and logos for the participating teams, not to mention the New Mexico Bowl insignia. At top market value, the pots would sell for an estimated $2,500.
The New Mexico Bowl stuck with the unconventional for its Outstanding Offensive and Defensive Player Awards. They went to another Zia Pueblo artist, Ralph Aragon, who crafted the trophies from traditional leather shields.
Jeff Siembieda, New Mexico Bowl Executive Director, found all three artists in 2006 when he traveled to the pueblo, located approximately 30 miles northwest of Albuquerque, looking for permission to use the Zia sun in its logo. The tribal leaders gave there consent and in return, asked that Zia art be used for the awards.
