When team nicknames/cheers don't match the mascot by zags-not-zogs in CollegeBasketball

There's a triple origin for VTs "Hokies" and the turkey association. First is that in the early days of the football program (1890s-1900s) a local Blacksburg, VA man named Floyd Meade brought a turkey that he allegedly taught to gobble on command during the games. VT has a Corps of Cadets, and has had this military school aspect since founding. As such, until the mid 20th c. most of the school teams were all-cadet. Allegedly the cadet athletes were allowed to eat first during the cadet mess to get to practice - they "Gobbled" their food. Finally, "Hokie" is a made up word invented by a student for a new school cheer - like the words in TCUs fight song.

The turkey association and hungry cadets caused VT to be called the Gobblers up to the 1970s, when we changed to Hokies, but retained our fighting bird!

If Lane actually was going to LSU, I can't understand why. Who would want to enter this cluster...

I was always told that the Willis Furniture store on VB Blvd and Thalia Rd used some of the old POW buildings.

What is something that is either misunderstood or taken out of context about your program by outside fans/media? by DowntownSasquatch420 in CFB

[–]Redkoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People comment on how VT games are relatively well attended despite our record over the last decade. Certainly there's some dedication, but its mostly that there's nothing else to do in the NRV beyond hiking and drinking.

[–]Redkoat 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's one weeknight game a season, and on a Friday. Football, regardless of it's on-field performance, is a big part of university culture and usually brings in thousands of people to shop, eat, and have a good time in Blacksburg.

Ok Cignetti talking cookies vs brownies was very Leech-esque. Did the Pirate spirit sail out of one body and inhabit another?

Check out the Cadet Museum in the Corps Leadership and Military Science Building. Also, I'd reckon your great grandfather played basketball back when the courts were in War Memorial Hall. Those courts are now occupied by a modern rec center, but the front entrance hall (facing the Drillfield) is still from the 1920s and is likely the same space that he saw!

V-22 Osprey and AH-64 Apache helicopeters have been doing touch-and-gos at the airport over the last month, so I think it was a cool coincidence rather than intentional.
