Bahamas Bowl is atrocious — The absolute worst case scenario. I can’t imagine any program “pushing” for it.

Bovine, I'm interested in your comment. Is it the facilities, experience, etc? Obviously the sound of Bahamas is great but maybe for the players it was difficult? Wherever they go, I really hope we win and can bring a trophy back to the SAAPC

Steve, it has everything to do with logistics:
1) It’s an expensive trip. After we played in it several years ago, I heard that we lost a lot of money.
2) Because of the distance, not many fans (outside of the parents) will attend.
3) It’s the first bowl game and is routinely ignored by the media.

That makes sense. Thx for the explanation.

I also saw someone say the band can't come. We need the band.

Those of you against the Barstool Bowl, get over it. They hold a huge audience and were just at Toledo for a live pre game show which did really well. Stop being triggered and look at the bigger picture of how this game might help with exposure to our great team. We are not in a position to be picky about these things. Was Toledo who will be playing in Detroit for a MAC championship? NOPE!

Whoever we pick, I hope we have as many eyeballs as possible which will garner national attention to recruits and also bring in more $$ to the MAC and us.
