Texas Bowl Information

First played in Houston, Texas, in 2006, the Texas Bowl is a post-season NCAA-sanctioned Division I-A college football bowl game, which substitutes the now-not-existent Houston Bowl that used to be played annually from 2000 to 2005. The Texas Bowl features the Big 12 and Conference USA with the possibility of including Texas Christian University for the future; and takes places annually at Reliant Stadium in Houston, TX, seating 70,000 people.

The Texas Bowl name and logo were officially introduced on August 10, 2006 at a press conference revoked especially for this purpose. The first matchup that took place on December 28, 2006, featured the Rutgers from the Big East and Kansas State from the Big 12, and ended up with the Rutgers’ devastating victory with 37:10.

The 2007 season Texas Bowl matchup will be held on Friday, December 28, 2007 at Reliant Stadium, Houston, at 7:00 p.m. CST. The match will feature the teams from the Big 12 and Conference USA. The teams have not been announced yet, but keep your hand on a pulse to be able to purchase the Texas Bowl tickets as soon as the players are announced.
