Last year at this time, there were threats of Congressional hearings, and all sorts of complaints over the NFL Network airing the Texas Bowl. Freezing out the fans of Rutgers and Kansas State lacking the channel (read: most cable subscribers), leading to last minute deals to show the game. This year, nothing. No noise. No national outrage.
That of course may have had something to do with the retro-Southwest Conference feel of a Houston-TCU match-up. It probably helped ticket sales at Reliant Stadium in Houston, but outside of Texas very little interest.
The NFL Network, however, couldn't have been too happy. The lack of any broader appeal outside of Texas and teams from Conference USA and the Mountain West combined with the limited reach of the NFL Network; made this the bowl game of little consequence and completely forgotten.
TCU won the game 20-13. Houston hasn't won a bowl game since the unlamented Garden State Bowl victory over Navy in 1980. All of which, was little more than a footnote in this bowl season.
