Why did someone feel the need to coin a word that means emasculated turkey?

Calling on the LSU A&M folks here.

Any of you guys know if a turkey farm has some need to cut the balls off of male turkeys? I guess it "softens the meat", or something?

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.

That was one of the funniest things I saw in Blacksburg. . .on the stadium - " Welcome to Lane Stadium, Home of the Fighting Gobblers"

I'll take "Welcome to Death Valley' anyday!

That same man was also a founding father of this great nation, the writer of our Declaration of Independence, a president, and a great man.

Too bad that the man who wrote the DoC didn't read it very well.
