The Bowl Game was one of two bowl games to be approved by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (the other being the St. Petersburg Bowl) for the 2008 College Football Bowl Season. The NCAA’s Postseason Football Licensing Subcommittee approved the bowl on April 30, 2008, allowing the committee that had proposed the game to host it after the 2008 college football season. The game, which was originally dubbed “The Congressional Bowl” before sponsorship was received by EagleBank, was televised by ESPN, with kickoff scheduled for 11 AM US EST, making it officially the first bowl game of the 2008–09 postseason. Terry Gannon and David Norrie announced the inaugural game.

The Military Bowl (fully named Military Bowl presented by Northrup Grumman, previously known as the EagleBank Bowl and known in planning stages as the Congressional Bowl) is an annual college football bowl game first played on December 20, 2008 at Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium in Washington, D.C.. The game was originally sponsored by Washington-area financial institution EagleBank. After Northrop Grumman, one of the world’s leading defense contractors, became its sponsor in 2010, it was renamed the Military Bowl.
