Going into the fourth quarter of the inaugural Popeyes Bahamas Bowl (motto: “What’s Not To Like?”), Western Kentucky was in possession of a seemingly insurmountable 35-point lead which turned out to be almost mountable, as Central Michigan pulled off this play to close to within a single point as time ran out:
I say “almost”, because CMU went for two to win the game in regulation and failed to convert. But, damn, that was fun while it lasted.
My friend with $100 on WKU -3.5 disagrees 😄

One guy on Twitter called it the best football game ever played outside the U.S. That sounds about right.

By the way, you got to like that the Bahamas bowl actually got a sponsor that fits their deal, you know? When you’ve got stuff like the Dr. Scholl’s Citrus Bowl or whatever it’s just sad.

And ,”Yes”,Dolly, fried chicken is a big deal in the Bahamas. They covered the going away party I threw with all my workers when I left.
Tap John Courage beer, conch fritters and lobster salad are sorely missed. Couldn’t help but think of them all during the part of that game I watched yesterday.
Yall have great holidays, ya heah me?

I watched a few minutes of that game. It sounded like Mark May and Lou Holtz were the announcers for the game.

Absolutely worst commentary in the history of cfb broadcasts by holtz and may. The droning was so lifeless and boring I had to fight to stay awake, even though TDs were being scored by the bushel.
