The Bahamas Bowl has a short but fun, fascinating history. The Nassau, Bahamas-based game will put on its third edition Friday when Eastern Michigan and Old Dominion face off, but if history is any guide, they’ll put on a show for those who ventured to paradise or tune in at 1 p.m. ET on ESPN.
Two years ago, Western Kentucky took a wild 49-48 win over Central Michigan in a game that went down to the final play. And last year, Western Michigan earned its first bowl win with a 45-31 victory over Middle Tennessee. This year’s edition, which features a pair of programs with minimal bowl histories, should be fun as well.
