My daughter’s school, the University of North Texas in Denton, played in the Heart of Dallas Bowl her sophomore year. Not even the Heart of TEXAS Bowl. They won. Mean Joe Green got all excited.
The Heart of Dallas Bowl was one the local Chamber of Commerce cobbled together to play in the old Cotton Bowl stadium after Jerry Jones lured the Cotton Bowl game away. I don’t think it’s being played anymore.
I am in Pittsburgh where Mean Joe is our favorite Mean Green of all time.
Trivia fact: The movie Necessary Roughness was filmed almost entirely at the University of North Texas. Their uniforms are a close approximation of what the Mean Green were wearing at that time.
