re: Scooter's Coffee Frisco Bowl

The (Herman) Frisco Bowl was originally started by my Rich uncle in my honor back in the early 50’s. Uncle Jimmy Johnny Frisco made his money in the import business. Mostly Chinese but some South Americans. He also hit a hot streak with a Columbia product. He sold the bowl to the Bobby Kennedy group. He only sold to come up with a hefty bail bond. Don’t forget to tune in.

On April 21, 2017, it was announced that the Miami Beach Bowl—which had been owned and operated by the American Athletic Conference (The American)—had been sold to ESPN Events and that it would relocate to Frisco, Texas, to be played in Toyota Stadium starting in the 2017 season.

On November 8, 2017, it was announced that Destination XL Group, a retailer specializing in big and tall menswear, had signed on as the inaugural title sponsor of the bowl.

On December 3, 2017, SMU and Louisiana Tech were announced as the teams for the inaugural playing of the bowl.

In 2019, Tropical Smoothie Cafe became the new title sponsor.

In 2023, Scooter's Coffee became the new title sponsor.
