“My mom and dad basically told me that it was an imaginary, college, made-up turkey.”
“They say the Hokie is actually a stone : like the stone that the stadium is made out of. That’s what I’ve been hearing that it is. I don’t know why they got the bird out there.”
“We’re going to show everybody what a Hokie is, come the bowl game. They’re going to see it.”
“A guy made up a song a long time ago for a cheer. Hokie is just a word-filler in it, but it came to be one of the best mascots in the nation.”
“A Hokie is a turkey. I really never figured out why it’s called a Hokie.”
“Officially we’re the Virginia Tech Fighting Gobblers. Hokie is the unofficial nickname.”
