Each year there are few bowl games 🏈 that stick out in my mind that might be harder on folks that others and this year is no exception. The three that come to mind are the Bahamas 🇧🇸 Bowl, Hawaii Bowl and Camellia Bowl.
Going to the Bahamas involves passports so it is the one set of bids that get announced a full week earlier than the others. Happy to say that this year’s contest was played without any major issues.
The reason that going to Honolulu makes the Tough List is that the game is played on Christmas 🎄 Eve and it pretty much guarantees that many a family will be apart on Christmas Day 🎄.
Memphis vs Hawaii was called off late yesterday as Hawaii was / is dealing with numerous Covid issues within the program. The announcement was made within 24 hours so there is no alternative plan to get the game played today.
Now Memphis will try and come up with an alternate plan for getting back to Campus in hopes of making the best of the Holidays.
The third of the 3 is the Camellia Bowl 🥣 being played on Christmas 🎄 Day in Montgomery, Alabama. While there’s not the 6 hour flight to get to the game it’s the one actually getting played on Christmas Day. Here’s hoping that both Georgia State and Ball State stay healthy enough to play.
