Class of 1991 - the Hokie pokie is part of our identity... literally. Taking it away accomplishes nothing but annoying loyal alumni.

I am a two-time graduate of Virginia Tech and a current PhD student. I was in the band all four years of undergrad--the best organization I've ever been a part of. The Hokie Pokie is the coolest college band tradition in all of college football. To eliminate it is simply horrible. I cannot understand the reasoning. It is fun, allows other bands to participate, and features a song about our university's namesake. It must not go.

Why take away yet another tradition. Don't they recognize how much fun the fans, both young and not so young, have during this important part of our football game experience.

Poor decision Athletics Department. Return the Hoke Pokie back to end of the 3rd Quarter.

I am an athlete and a musician. The musicians don't tell the Athletic Dept how to coach nor should the Athletic Dept tell the musicians how to perform. The Hokey Pokey will will reach more Alumni than all athletic events. Now turn yourself around!

Why eliminate this great tradition which on many occasions included band members from opposing teams? So sad.
