Watch Snoop Dogg Take Over the Arizona Bowl
In perhaps the second-most viral game of the 2024 college season behind the Pop-Tarts Bowl, Snoop Dogg served as host of this year’s Arizona Bowl, with the rapper taking over all aspects of the matchup, from sponsor to bandleader to play-by-play announcer.
Officially dubbed “the Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl presented by Gin & Juice by Dre and Snoop,” the rapper made the game at Tucson’s Arizona Stadium his own, even eclipsing that action on the field between Colorado State and Miami (Ohio).
The field was emblazoned with a Snoop Dogg logo at one end zone and low riders in the other. Pregame, Snoop Dogg snagged passes on the field and even visited some tailgate parties before taking to the 50-yard line for the ceremonial coin toss, the Associated Press reports.
Snoop — who founded his own Snoop League for inner city youth in Southern California and whose son played Division I football — also put on a headset on the Colorado State sideline to allegedly call some plays. By halftime, the rapper was back at midfield to serve as conductor for the two universities’ bands performance:
In the third quarter, Snoop next joined the broadcast booth. “This is a seven-day-a-week thing with me, man,” Snoop Dogg said. “I guess I’m the people’s champ because I love the people as much as they love me.”
Miami (Ohio) won the Arizona Bowl 43-17, after which Snoop Dogg rolled onto the field in a 1964 Impala with trophy in hand for the victors. He also gifted Death Row Records gold chains to the team, and took coach Chuck Martin on a victory lap in the Impala.
“I’m sitting there with a gold chain and my wife is laughing her ass off. Snoop’s there … who in the world is cooler than Snoop?” Martin told the press postgame. “I’m sitting in the back of this vehicle and my wife is looking at me like, ‘What a complete imbecile.’ It’s a moment you’ll remember forever.”
In the weeks leading up to the game, Snoop revealed that all the participants would receive NIL (name image likeness) money for playing in the game. “College football fans are exhausted by the constant talk around NIL, conference realignment, coach movement, transfer portal and super conferences,” Snoop said in a video posted on social media. “So it’s time that we get back to the roots of college football — when it was focused on the colleges, the players and the competition, the community, the fan experience and the pageantry.”

The undefeated Hamilton Huskies (9-0, 3-0) travel to take on the red-hot Chandler Wolves (8-1, 3-0) in a pivotal 6A Fiesta League regular-season finale showdown on Friday night. With both teams sporting impressive resumes, this matchup is a can’t-miss battle for supremacy in one of Arizona’s top high school football rivalries.
The Huskies have been dominant all season, most recently cruising to a 63-0 victory over Cesar Chavez. Sophomore quarterback Jax Sculley tossed three touchdown passes, while fellow sophomore Jake Disanti added two more scoring strikes, and senior signal-caller Daniel Vaita also found the end zone through the air in the rout.
Chandler enters this clash riding a seven-game winning streak after last week’s 28-22 triumph over Pinnacle. Junior quarterback Will Mencl was the catalyst, throwing for 338 yards and a touchdown while also rushing for two scores. Sophomore running back David Douglas chipped in with a rushing touchdown of his own in the victory.
Opening kickoff is set for 7 p.m. MT on Friday, November 7 with a live TV broadcast on NFHS Network.

How to spot November’s supermoon, the closest of the year, from Arizona
PHOENIX (AP/AZFamily) — The moon will look slightly bigger and brighter Wednesday during the closest supermoon of the year, which can be seen from Arizona!
The moon’s orbit around the Earth isn’t a perfect circle, so it gets nearer and farther as it swings around. A so-called supermoon happens when a full moon is closer to Earth in its orbit. That makes the moon look up to 14% bigger and 30% brighter than the faintest moon of the year, according to NASA.
November’s supermoon is the second of three supermoons this year and also the closest: The moon will come within just under 222,000 miles of Earth.
Tides may be slightly higher during a supermoon because the moon is closer to Earth, said astronomer Lawrence Wasserman with Lowell Observatory. But the difference isn’t very noticeable.
No special equipment is needed to view the supermoon if clear skies permit. But the change in the moon’s size can be tough to discern with the naked eye.
“The difference is most obvious as a comparison between other images or observations,” said Shannon Schmoll, director of Abrams Planetarium at Michigan State University, in an email.
Supermoons happen a few times a year. One in October made the moon look somewhat larger, and another in December will be the last of the year.
