You can count on two things for the December 29th’ Nova Home Loans Arizona Bowl this year:
- There will be a spread of about 20 and 12 degrees in temperature between Tucson and each of the teams’ home towns of Reno, NV and Jonesboro, AR.
- If you are visiting to cheer on your team, you need a guide of where to stay and what to do after the game.
