VMI–Virginia Tech football rivalry (original) (raw)

The VMI–Virginia Tech football rivalry is an American college football rivalry between the Keydets of Virginia Military Institute and the Hokies of Virginia Tech, (formerly known as the Virginia Polytechnic Institute "Fighting Gobblers"). Due mainly to changes in classification, the teams last played in 1984, and are not scheduled to play again until 2026 - a 42-year gap. The two teams are only about 80 miles apart in western Virginia and were in the same conference (the Southern Conference) from 1924 to 1964.
