The Aviation Bowl was a post-season College Football bowl game played at Welcome Stadium in Dayton, Ohio , on December 9 , 1961 . New Mexico defeated Western Michigan 28-12 in front of just over 3000 fans. Although the NCAA approved a second edition for 1962 , the bowl was never played again. It was a financial failure. New Mexico hasn't won a bowl game since. However, the entire 1961 Lobo team was inducted into the University of New Mexico's Hall of Honor in 1990 as a result of this bowl win. SEE ALSO |
