I believe it. Very few remember how Texas screwed LSU in the Cotton bowl 50 odd years ago.
The year was 1969...
They got their asses handed to them previously by LSU in the Cotton bowl, that was then controlled by the Southwestern Conference. They begged Notre Dame to go against their "no bowl" stance and play Texas. LSU was 9-1 with the one loss to an Archie Manning-led Ole Miss. By the time the negotiations with Notre Dame were done, which LSU knew nothing about and was fully expecting a chance to knock off NC texas, the Sugar and Orange bowl were already filled. Later, LSU received a bid to the Liberty bowl that they rightfully declined.
Instead, Coach Mac made a trophy to remember the incident and gave one to each of his coaches.

The host bowl team doesn't invite its opponent, dumbass.
