But, although the Lone Star State has a long-standing tradition of hosting a handful of games, 2011 marks just the sixth year of existence for Houston's Meineke Car Care of Texas Bowl, the game has already developed a reputation for providing exciting, competitive matchups.

Dec. 29, 2011 is the date for the annual Meineke Car Care of Texas Bowl. Set to be played at Reliant Stadium in Houston, the Meineke Car Care of Texas Bowl has quickly become a fan favorite. This year's matchup will be between Northwestern University of the Big 10 Conference and Texas A&M from the Big 12 Conference.

Without a doubt, football fans finding themselves in Houston on New Year's Eve will want to attend this year's Texas Bowl.
