I just googled what is a Hokie...

[Hogaholism]

SIAP...but was surprised...

[GolfnHog]

it's a turkey isn't it?

[NuttinItUp]

[hog of steele]

All I know is that there is a pokie named after it.

[Hogaholism]

a derivative of a turkey...oddly...it'll fry, tho...

Here in Central Virginia, we have the Hokies and the Hoos.

Here are the corn hole boards my daughter and her boyfriend made me this summer, they are both going to Tech.

[Tejano Jawg]

Thanks. I meant to do it last night but I forgot.

I think I would always default to some "husky" derivative, which makes no sense, and is pretty far off genetically. I've always liked their non-traditional color scheme...but when I close my eyes I could NEVER picture their logo (other than the VT). Maybe they were keeping that bird thing on the down-low.

Gobble gobble.

Go Hog Pluck the Turkeys.

Guess we will figure out which is the better meat between ham and turkey

Dang. I wouldn't even use that beauty. I'd hang it on the wall! Love that artwork.

That's pretty awesome.

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".

"Old Hokie" Cheer
Hokie, Hokie, Hokie, Hy!
Tech, Tech, VPI
Sol-a-rex, Sol-a-rah
Poly Tech Vir-gin-ia
Ray rah VPI
Team! Team! Team

You've seen Mountaineers fumble,
You've been in Hurricanes' eye,
And you know 'ol Syracuse
Has learned the force of Hokie-Hi.
Worthy teams from all around,
Like Hoos from UVA,
Know a winning team awaits them;
Victory is ours today.

GO, TECH!
GO, TECH!
H-O-K-I-E-S, HOKIES!

[Sho Nuff]

Burnt orange huh?  Good, I was looking for a reason to hate them

You need to put some of that clear poly coating like on bar top tables. It's pretty easy to do just a little time consuming.

[Jackrabbit Hog]

Tastes like chicken.

Not true...Hokie is made up. A UVA grad editor for a dictionary slid that false definition in about the turkey. Hokie is a cheer and a VT supporter or student, nothing more

Already has some on it.  Can't put too much on it or it will mess up your cornhole game.

What happenes when a Hokie does the Hokie Poky?

[Arkamedes]

After the second half of the Missouri game, I can't think of a better opportunity to turn ourselves around! Woo Pig!

[DoctorSusscrofa]

All I know is that there is a pokie named after it.

All I know is that you shouldn't do the Hokie Pokie!
