Orange Bowl

What is a "hokey"?

 

[JRL]

Its absolutely nothing, some made up word and I am almost certain if it did exist it could not beat a bear cat.

 

[Volusianator]

And that comes from a UTE. Who the hell knows what that is?

Doobies did the half time show. Only part worth watching so far. Too bad this is only a cigar I am smoking. :stretchgr

Snow is gone and so is the bad weather. Back to the high 50's low 60's.

I missed the half time show. This game is better than the Rose Blow.

I have to agree with that. I am a Big Ten guy and never cared for USC otherwise know as the Univeristy of Spoiled Children.

Dont look now but those Hokeys (what ever that is) guys are kicking some Bearcat butt. :stretchgr

 

[JRL]

I see that. I also am not a USC fan. Pete Carrol is an arrogant bastard and not the beer. I am excited for the game tomorrow of course and the championship game. Go UTES and Go GATORS. My two favs.

 

[elderboy02]

A hokey is something you use to clean a carpet.

What is a "hokey"?

Taken from their website:

What is a Hokie? 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.

Here's how that competition came to be held. Virginia Tech was founded in 1872 as a land-grant institution and was named Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College. In 1896, the Virginia General Assembly officially changed the college's name to Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College and Polytechnic Institute, a name so long that citizens shortened it in popular usage to VPI. The original college cheer, which made reference to the original name of the institution, was no longer suitable. Thus, a contest was held to select a new spirit yell, and Stull won the $5 top prize for his cheer, now known as Old Hokie:

Hoki, Hoki, Hoki, Hy.
Techs, Techs, V.P.I.
Sola-Rex, Sola-Rah.
Polytechs - Vir-gin-ia.
Rae, Ri, V.P.I.

Later, the phrase "Team! Team! Team!" was added at the end, and an "e" was added to "Hoki."

Stull later said that he made up the word as an attention-grabber. Though he may not have known it, "Hokie" (in its various forms) has been around at least since 1842. According to Johann Norstedt, now a retired Virginia Tech English professor, "[Hokie was] a word that people used to express feeling, approval, excitement, surprise. Hokie, then, is a word like 'hooray,' or 'yeah,' or 'rah.'" Whatever its original meaning, the word in the popular cheer did, as Stull wanted, grab attention and has been a part of Virginia Tech tradition ever since.

As my dear departed daddy used to say: "That is the biggest bunch of hokey I have ever heard"!
