It’s Kill’s first tattoo (this was also his first year as head coach), but he pulled out all the stops for the occasion.
The ink features two handguns crossing each other that read «NMSU 2022 BOWL CHAMPS» on his right arm.
«I told everyone I would never forget the 2022 Aggies!» he tweeted.
It was the Aggies’ second bowl victory since 1960: they won the Arizona Bowl against Utah State in 2017.
«They were kind of dragging, so I called them all up and said, here’s the deal: if they win this bowling game, I really respect this team and what they’ve done, I’m going to get a tattoo on my arm.'» Bush told KTSM. «Everyone went crazy.»

«It’s to honor a group of young guys who did some things that probably no one, including their head coach, didn’t know they could do,» Kill added. «It’s a good way to honor them and a good way to remember them. Trust me, I wouldn’t have made the bet if I didn’t think it was special.»
