And feel free to join our preseason The Man contest: http://extremeskins.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11634 It's basically how we all size each other up as football fans.

Om Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 Yo GoSkins, Tube the rapids at the New River for me. Maybe throw a couple back at the Cascades. Have an extra plate of pasta at the Cellar. And tell Beamer if he ever tries to leave, a whole bunch of us alums are going to trak him down and have little "talk" with him. God I miss school, sometimes.

The Evil Genius Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 So you VPI grads ever going to explain what a Hokie is, other than male genitalia :laugh: Don' tell me that its honestly from your 1920's student fight song... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God I miss school, sometimes. um...a million a year...I don't think Beamer's going ANYWHERE! Haven't been to the Cellar in a while. I frequent PKs and BW3s. Hoping to hit the rapids soon. Gotta kid coming in October, so my life's on hold for the moment! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potato Sack Posted August 1, 2002 Author Share Posted August 1, 2002 The definition of a Hokie WHAT'S A HOKIE? 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 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 Evil Genius Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 Thank you. Thats the story I have always heard - but don't know why Tech chose a Gobbler as it's mascot. Anyways, I am sure Beamer will have them fired up again this year. I just hope my Mounties can regroup afte rthe 3-8 last year and be respectable again. Peace.
