Overall Houston has made 21 bowl appearances during its history, including four Cotton Bowls in which Houston holds a 2-2 record with wins over Nebraska and Maryland.

“Clearly, some time ago makers and consumers of American junk food passed jointly through some kind of sensibility barrier in the endless quest for new taste sensations. Now they are a little like those desperate junkies who have tried every known drug and are finally reduced to mainlining toilet bowl cleanser in an effort to get still higher.”
—Bill Bryson (b. 1951)
“A man will not need to study history to find out what is best for his own culture.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
