Welcome to Bow Tie Aztecs Monday where when I first saw this pattern I was reminded of the Mesoamerian Culture that flourished in Central Mexico in the period of 1300 to 1521. The SDSU or San Diego State University Aztecs also have at least two Hall of Famers and one NBA Champion that attended their school. Marshall Faulk (Football), Tony Gwynn (Baseball) and Kawhi Leonard (Basketball).
