        <title>‘We are The Spirit of Tech’: Game day with The Marching Virginians</title>
        <link>https://news.vt.edu/videos/y/2026/01/4A1KNmdlkiM.html</link>
        <description><![CDATA[ What’s it like to be a part of the Marching Virginians? To step out of the tunnel and onto the field at Lane Stadium knowing, at that moment, you are the living, breathing embodiment of Hokie spirit? It’s a feeling like no other—a heady mix of empowerment, electricity, and excitement, grounded in pride, connection, and the countless hours it took to get there. Go behind the scenes for an all-access look at The Marching Virginian’s game day experience, from warm-ups and rehearsals to donning uniforms and marching to the stadium. Hear from seniors who have taken their last March to Victory about what it has meant to be part of a family that has given them so much. Come along and see why “It’s a very special experience to be a part of the MVs.” Video by: Evan Musgrave for Virginia Tech ]]></description>

        <link>https://news.vt.edu/videos/k/2025/09/1_rwpoln75.html</link>
        <description><![CDATA[ While a costumed Gobbler appeared at least one game in 1936, the first permanent costumed Gobbler did not appear until the fall of 1962. In the early 1960s, Mercer MacPherson, a civil engineering student, saw the mascot for another university and decided that VPI should have one as well. He contacted a manufacturer, learned what a mascot suit would cost, and raised the money, most of it from civilian students. ]]></description>
