MTSU President Sidney McPhee is a Nassau, Bahamas native... and he's already down there campaigning. Probably doesn't bode too well for us in terms of having sort of a home-field advantage (good read though):

Quote:“What was embarrassing to me was when the cameras panned the stadium, you could find any sole in that stadium. I talked to the folks at both schools and they said they had a great time but they were very disappointed the game was not supported by the locals. Now, you have no excuse because now you have a Bahamian with his team. I have told my folks in Tennessee that I know my Bahamian friends, colleagues and associates are not going to embarrass me. I expect that stadium to be jam packed. All eyes will be looking at Nassau and the Bahamas Bowl.
Quote:“I met with the principal of my former high school and they are going to be bringing 200-300 students from my old school RM Bailey, so I’m very pleased about that,” he said.
