Texas Bowl football betting online - A New Texas Tradition

The NCAA awarded a new bowl game to Houston on June 27, 2006.

The second annual Texas Bowl kicks off this Dec. 30 at Reliant Stadium in Houston. Be there when top competition from the Big 12 and Conference USA close out their seasons in search of a coveted postseason title.

There are many exciting events around the Texas Bowl to create an entertaining celebration of the culture, heritage and football tradition of the Lone Star State.

Activities will include TexFest, a free pre-game celebration for all fans featuring team pep-rallies, live music, food and interactive games, and the largest holiday fireworks celebration in the state of Texas.

The Texas Bowl is an annual postseason college football bowl game played in Houston, Texas. The game is played between a representative of the Big 12 Conference and a rotating bid from the Big East and the Conference-USA.

The game was first played in 2006 and replaces the Houston Bowl, played from 2000 to 2005.

The Houston Bowl was played first as the GalleryFurniture.com bowl at the Astrodome, and was then moved to the new Reliant Stadium as the EV1.Net Houston Bowl. When sponsorship fell through in 2005, the game was discontinued. The NFL network took over management and naming rights to the game in 2005, and the Texas Bowl was born.

In 2006 Rutgers finished its historic season against Kansas State at the Texas Bowl. The Rutgers Scarlet Knights easily handled Kansas State behind the running of star halfback Ray Rice, also the game’s MVP. Rutgers won 37-10.

There were some interesting mistakes in the first broadcast of the bowl. The announcer was unaware of the New Brunswick-Piscataway, New Jersey location of Rutgers, and referred repeatedly to its satellite campus in Camden.

The electronic first down marker malfunctioned for much of the game, and the sideline correspondent, Marshall Faulk failed to appear, making the first Texas Bowl an interesting broadcast to watch.

The Texas Bowl is played at Reliant Stadium in Houston. The stadium holds 71,500 spectators and is the home of the NFL’s Houston Texans. Opened in 2002, it is one of the newest and most state of the art facilities in the country, the first one in America to have a retractable roof. Buy Texas Bowl tickets and be part of one of college football’s youngest traditions!
