The Texas Bowl
A Celebration of the Culture, Heritage and Football Tradition of the Lone Star State.
A Brand New Bowl Game!
The NCAA awarded a new bowl game to Houston on June 27, 2006.
The inaugural Texas Bowl was played in Reliant Stadium, home of the Houston Texans, on December 28, 2006, at 7:00 p.m. The Texas Bowl featured Kansas State from the Big 12 and Rutgers from the Big East.
In 2007, the Bowl will feature a clash of old Southwest Conference foes, TCU Horned Frogs (from the Mountain West) and the University of Houston (from Conference USA). The game will be shown live on the NFL Network.
Our vision is to create a thrilling fan experience, deliver a memorable conference, school and athlete experience, positively impact our charity partner and establish Houston as one of the great bowl cities in America.
