I will say this \u2013 I have no true connection to North Texas.  I just happened to \u201cadopt\u201d them (lucky for the Eagles, no?) a few years ago because I wanted to be challenged in NCAA Football.  Plus it is my dad\u2019s went to college, so there is some sort of connection.  In theory \u2026 maybe not.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, North Texas has represented the Sun Belt Conference in the New Orleans Bowl each of the last four years, but they have only accumulated a 1-3 record.  Last night was another example of \u201couch\u201d as North Texas succumbed to Southern Mississippi 31-10.<\/p>\n<p>The funny thing about my North Texas \u201crelationship\u201d is that I have yet to watch more than a few mins of their bowl action until last night.  The previous three years the game has fallen on my December 18th wedding anniversary.  Let me lay it on the table:  football, wife, football, wife.  Being a smart man, and not wanting to live the life of a monk, North Texas and the New Orleans Bowl always take a back burner to the anniversary thing.<\/p>\n<p>Last night was my first real opportunity to see North Texas  play in a bowl game, but no, oh no, I just had to be sick yesterday, which led to me pretty much missing all but a few minutes of the first quarter.  Feeling blue you see, and not so much Mean and Green.  Maybe next year.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know, I know, you do not have to say it.
