Belk Bowl: Tensions high between Lynn Bowden and Virginia Tech after reports of trash talk

Skip to main content

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Lynn Bowden likely needed no extra motivation for his final college football game. Apparently, he found some this week at pre-Belk Bowl events anyway.

Lexington television station WLEX reported Saturday that Kentucky and Virginia Tech players “got to a small bit of chirping” when they crossed paths at a pre-bowl event at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. By Monday a social media post that appears to be a screenshot of a video shot by a Virginia Tech player during that incident with a derogatory caption about Bowden and his teammates was being circulated on Twitter and Instagram.
