Rivalries & Top Games to Attend

Safeway Bowl

Rival Team: SMU Mustangs

The North Texas Mean Green and the SMU Mustangs meet in the Safeway Bowl to decide which of these Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex based schools will walk away with bragging rights. The rivalry gets its unique name from former UNT coach Matt Simon’s quote, “I'd like to play because I think we could beat them, and my players feel the same way. If they'd like to play in a Safeway parking lot ... just give us a date and time.” The two schools are scheduled to play each season from 2014 to 2025, so make your way to North Texas for these fierce rivalry games.
