What is a Hokie?

[VOLINVONORE]

In the 1930s, Virginia Tech was known as the Gobblers. It was later Called the Hokiebird and now know as the Hokies. There is no way they can get away from the Turkey name.

It's what's for dinner Saturday night!

After a Tennessee WIN Vols fans will be eating turkey while we all celebrate.

O line will NOT play lazy.

D certainly WILL tackle like they've been trained to do.

WR's and TE's WILL fight and take the balls thrown their way.

DB's WILL knock balls down and get a INT or 2.

D front 7 WILL make some strips and get a takeaway or 2 or 3 or 4.

The playbooks will now be opened up a lot more because we will REUSE to lose the biggest game in football history.

VT turkeys, playing to get smoked at the B@B...VFL...GBO!!!

A Hokie is the same as a Hoya. Just a made up word that was used in a cheer

It's the worst mascot ever! I wonder if their fans even know? Worse than a Blue hen even.

Yeah pretty funny. That's not what it comes from originally, just what fans have invented.

The origin of the word "Hokie" has nothing to do with a turkey. It was coined by O.M. Stull (class of 1896), who used it in a spirit yell he wrote for a competition.

All I know is a Hokie is a castrated male Turkey and VPI uses a Turkey as a mascot.
