Virginia Tech's sports teams are called the Hokies, except for the swim team, which uses a variant ("H2Okies", a play on the chemical formula for water). The Tech mascot is the Hokie Bird.
The word, which originated from the Old Hokie spirit yell, penned in 1896, is often used interchangeably with "Fighting Gobblers" to refer to sports teams, fans, students, or alumni. 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.[1] The mascot is the Hokie Bird, a turkey-like creature. The teams were originally known as the "Fighting Gobblers," and the turkey motif was retained despite the name change.

I knew the Hokies did things differently down there, but a draft?
