That’s the mascot, not the nickname of the school. [/quote]

Not according to Virginia Tech

[b]Hokie is the nickname [/b]and HokieBird is the masoc[/quote]

You are confused.  People don’t say, “I attend Hokie.”  They might say, “I am a Hokie - I go to VA Tech.”[/quote]

Did you not click on the link? "Hokie" is NOT the mascot.  The school literally tells you their nickname is Hokie and their mascot is a HokieBird.

Yes, I read your link and you are mistaken if you think anyone is referring to VT (the school) as “Hokie.”  No one “goes to Hokie.”  But I encourage you to try it out and see what kind of reactions you get!   :lol: [/quote]

You said the Hokie was the mascot.  That is factually incorrect as evidenced by the link from the source identifying the name of the mascot as the "HokieBird."

Feel free to take it up with the school if you think it named the mascot incorrectly and in contradiction of your sincerely-held belief.  [/quote]

OMG.  And YOU said “Hokie is the nickname.”  You were wrong.  Please move on.   :roll: [/quote]

NO YOU were wrong![/quote]

Run along, troll.  Your shtick is old.
