Which city is Virginia tech located?
Asked by Wiki User
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 (Old Hokie Cheer below) 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.

When was the first time Virginia tech played enter sandman before a football game?
Asked by Wiki User
From a Sept. 26, 2009 Washington Post article by Mark Viera...
The famed entrance was created because Virginia Tech erected a scoreboard, before the 2000 season, with a large video screen and the university's athletics marketing team wanted to create an entrance video for the Hokies. While the film production was contracted to a producer, it was up to the marketers to find the right music.
There were a handful of songs in consideration, including "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns N' Roses and the Alan Parsons Project's "Sirius," which already had gained attention as the Chicago Bulls' entrance music. Virginia Tech's marketing team settled on Metallica's "Enter Sandman."
"Enter Sandman" was first used at Lane Stadium for the 2000 season opener against Georgia Tech. Although the game was canceled before kickoff because of torrential rain and lightning, the song had caught on.
The second element of the "Enter Sandman" mystique came later. Before one particularly chilly night game, some of the Virginia Tech marching band members started jumping up and down to keep warm before the team's entrance. Soon, everyone copied.
