Just a few notes from a fan’s perspective on the Chick-fil-A Bowl, where one thing is old news: Hokie fans have once again shown up in force for a bowl game. Shocking, isn’t it? Also to be expected, Georgia fans were in short supply in Atlanta Friday night, because for most of them, it’s just a day trip.

For the second time in a row, I had one of those fortuitous mornings at Enterprise Car Rental in Radford. I had reserved a “premium level” car for the 400-mile drive to Atlanta, and when I arrived to pick it up, they told me that all their premium cars -- a Dodge Charger, a Dodge Magnum, and a Nissan Maxima -- hadn’t been returned the previous day.
