There are two firsts for this particular contest in Charlotte, North Carolina. Well more than two firsts, but we’ll stick with the football teams. This will be the first time that the Hokies have appeared in the Belk Bowl. The Belk Bowl started life as a Raycom Sports venture in 2002. The project started out named the Queen City Bowl, but that name was trumped by the first game and became the Continental Tire Bowl. The Wahoos beat West Virginia that Season, and then took out Pitt the next year. That sponsorship lasted three seasons and in 2005 the contest was renamed the Meineke Car Care Bowl.
