I went to VPI (now usually called VA TECH, since the school changed its name to Virginia Polytechnic Institute AND State University and VPISU has less appeal) where the mascot was a turkey. The teams would be called the Fighting Gobblers or the Hokies. I remember the story in the Alternative Newspaper saying that hokie was slang for turnkey feces. Never had this confirmed, however.
