MATCHUP: Teams from the Big 12 Conference and Conference USA will play at Amon G. Carter Stadium.
FESTIVITIES: Former Dallas Cowboys coach Barry Switzer is the keynote speaker at the Team Kickoff Luncheon ($25). There's a three-hour pep rally in Sundance Square on Dec. 22, with speeches by coaches and marching band music. A playground of interactive games -- called Fan Fest -- begins at 5 p.m. on game day outside the stadium.
EXTRA POINTS: Catch a performance of the musical "Guys on Ice," in which two dudes sing about fish and beer, before it closes Dec. 17 . . . If the game is less than exciting, catch thrills instead at nearby Six Flags Over Texas. More info: Fort Worth Convention and Visitors Bureau, 800-433-5747, http:/
