Governor's Cup (Texas)
The Texas Governor's Cup is the trophy awarded to the winner of the football game between the National Football League's Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans. The two teams meet in the regular season every fourth year and occasionally in the preseason. In 1991, after 13 straight games at Texas Stadium, the two teams went to a home-and-away format for the preseason when the Houston Oilers (now the Tennessee Titans) were still in Texas.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NFL ANNOUNCES 2002-2009 SCHEDULE ROTATION )〕 This has not held in the modern era of the meetings.
==History==
In 1965, the AFL's Houston Oilers and NFL's Dallas Cowboys both drafted Oklahoma tackle Ralph Neely. The Houston Oilers sued the Cowboys over services of Neely. In the settlement of the case, the Oilers received three Cowboy draft picks in addition to a cash settlement. The Cowboys also agreed to play five preseason games, three in Houston, against the Oilers. Thus began the Governor's Cup series, a Texas tradition created by franchise free agency.〔(Texas Sports News )〕
In 1992 the Cowboys and Oilers met twice in the preseason. The first game took place in Tokyo as part of the NFL's American Bowl series, and the second meeting in Dallas for the Governor's Cup.
The 1994 Governor's Cup was not actually played in Texas but in Mexico City at Estadio Azteca as part of the American Bowl series. As a result of Estadio Azteca's unusually large seating capacity, a league record 112,246 fans watched the Oilers shut out the Cowboys, 6-0 on August 13, 1994.〔(The Worlds Biggests )〕
