The 1989 John Hancock Bowl was a college football postseason bowl game between the Texas A&M Aggies of the Southwest Conference and the independent Pittsburgh Panthers. The Panthers, who entered ranked 24th in the Associated Press poll but unranked in the coaches' poll, defeated the Aggies, ranked 16th by the AP and 15th by the coaches, by a final score of 31-28. This was the first time in the history of the bowl that it carried a name other than the Sun Bowl, which had been the name of the game since its inauguration.
