— WKU Sports (@WKUSports) December 24, 2014 Yep, there’s a bowl game happening in the Bahamas right now!
Central Michigan and Western Kentucky, both 7-5 teams, got to spend part of December in the islands.
The inaugural Popeyes Bahamas Bowl was not made up!

This is, without question, a regulation college football game taking place that is both viewable on ESPN and in the Bahamas.
And brought to you by Popeyes.

The first 4,000 fans at today’s Bahamas Bowl get to try Popeyes new "secret" product. It may or may not contain hints of ghost pepper.

— Rodger Sherman (@rodger_sherman) December 24, 2014 Bowls have happened in Cuba, Japan, and Canada before, but it’s been a long time. And none of those games were sponsored by Popeyes.
And -- fun fact! -- it’s not even the first college football game there this season:
