One Fan Will Be Rooting For Touchdowns At This Year's Gildan® New Mexico Bowl

CHARLESTON, S.C., Dec. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Unlike most fans at this year's Gildan® New Mexico Bowl, Hartford area resident Toni Reilly will be rooting equally hard for both teams - not to win, but to score as much as possible.

Reilly is the winner of Gildan's "Touchdowns for Tuition" sweepstakes that will award her $1,000 toward a college scholarship for every touchdown scored during the game.

The East Windsor, CT., resident is a UConn fan, but is willing to put her allegiances aside for one day when the University of Arizona takes on the University of Nevada, Reno, in the season's first college football bowl game, December 15 in Albuquerque.

"My husband is a youth football coach who stresses defense, but for one game I'm sure he wouldn't mind seeing two high-powered offenses taking over," said Reilly, a mother of three, including an 18-year-old son at the University of Hartford. "We're huge football fans, so this will certainly be one of the most exciting games we'll ever see, for a variety of reasons."
