AI Overview


A "Hokie" is a loyal supporter of Virginia Tech, with the term originating from a winning spirit yell created in 1896 by student O.M. Stull. The name was initially a nonsensical word to replace an outdated cheer and is now the official nickname for the university's athletic teams and its students. The Hokie mascot is a turkey, known as the HokieBird.

From VT's website:

The answer leads all the way back to 1896 when Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College changed its name to Virginia Polytechnic Institute. With the change came the necessity for writing a new cheer and a contest for such a purpose was held by the student body.
Senior O.M. Stull won first prize for his "Hokie" yell (Old Hokie Cheer below) which is still used today. Later, when asked if "Hokie" had any special meaning, Stull explained the word was solely the product of his imagination and was used only as an attention-getter for his yell. It soon became a nickname for all Tech teams and for those people loyal to Tech athletics.
The official university school colors - Chicago Maroon and Burnt Orange - also were introduced in 1896. The colors were chosen by a committee because they made a 'unique combination' not worn elsewhere at the time. The official definition of "Hokie" is "a loyal Virginia Tech Fan".
The HokieBird
The bird is a "HokieBird" which has evolved from a turkey. Virginia Tech teams were once called the "Gobblers"!

The pitch of that side of the stadium is phenomenal. Looks like it goes straight up.

Despite starting 0-3 they had a packed house against an FCS patsy after firing the coach, they may have some things to work on institutionally in regards to the coaching search but the fan support is significant and will be a factor

Big crowd for a bad/mediocre team. I think our team will feed off the energy though.

So basically every play on offense so far their defense looked like they knew the play in the huddle. Every play on defense our defense looked like they prepared for a totally different offense.
