If Snoop Dogg were sponsoring a college football bowl game, then it'd have to be a gin and juice product, right? That'd be exactly right because the Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl, presented by Gin & Juice, kicks off at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 28.

A Snoop Dogg-inspired field design was revealed Friday, with his name stylized in one end zone and a black low-rider Chevy Impala in front of an Arizona-themed evening skyline painted in the other.

This year's Arizona Bowl will feature the Miami (OH) RedHawks vs. the Colorado State Rams. The bowl has conference tie-ins with the Mountain West and MAC and was previously sponsored by Barstool Sports, Offerpad and NOVA Home Loans.

The RedHawks are coming off an 8-5 season and a 38-3 loss in the MAC Championship game against in-state rivals, the Ohio Bobcats. Colorado State finished with six wins in their last seven games and a third-place finish in the Mountain West.

Miami is led by quarterback Brett Gabbert, who is the younger brother to former NFL quarterback Blaine Gabbert. Brett was the MAC Freshman of the Year in 2019. If Gabbert throws for 200 yards, then he would surpass former RedHawks star and NFL legend Ben Roethlisberger for second all-time in passing yards for Miami quarterbacks.

One of the Rams' key players is running back Avery Morrow. The team's leading rusher, with 956 yards and nine touchdowns on 166 carries, is a 6-foot, 210-pound rusher who will be vital for Colorado State's offense against the RedHawks.

Snoop Dogg, a pioneer of West Coast hip-hop, has expanded his career beyond music and has been an actor, television host and business entrepreneur.
