I was pretty happy when it was announced that Eastern Michigan would face San Jose State in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, and then amazed to find out that this would be only the second time that Eastern Michigan would play San Jose State.
I would have thought that Eastern Michigan would have tried to schedule a rematch with them at some point in the last 35 years, but then again, San Jose State may not want to remember why Eastern Michigan would be interested in that rematch.
Time doesn’t heal all wounds, after all.
Eastern Michigan enters the game at 8-4 and are the MAC West Division Co-Champions, missing the MAC Championship game by virtue of head-to-head tie breakers.
