Aztec for Life Wins Poinsettia Bowl Tickets
Graduating senior Spencer Hoffelder correctly answered the trivia question and won tickets to this week's game.
Spencer Hoffelder is having a good week — the Aztec for Life finished his last final for his information and decision systems degree and won the SDSU NewsCenter Poinsettia Bowl ticket giveaway.
Aztec for Life
“It’s great — a lot of hard work and it’s finally over,” he said in response to his impending graduation.
After answering the trivia question correctly, he received a pair of tickets to this week’s big game. He’ll take a friend who’s currently a student at Brigham Young University; whether or not his friend will cheer for the Aztecs is unknown.
“He might have a problem wearing red and black,” Hoffelder said with a smile.
Regardless, Hoffelder will have plenty of other Aztecs to cheer with at the game — and in his family. His parents, grandfather and uncle all attended SDSU.
Winning answer
To win, Hoffelder had to answer the following question correctly:
From their first bowl appearance in 1948 to this year’s Poinsettia Bowl, how many bowl games have the Aztecs played in?
According to SDSU Athletics, the correct answer is nine bowl games, including this week's Poinsettia Bowl:
