Oh, is that what a Hokie is?

Figured it was something like a Hoosier, whatever the heck that is.

I'm expecting 100% improvement from the Lions this season.

According to Wikipedia

During the late unhappy war between the States it [North Carolina] was sometimes called the “Tar-heel State,” because tar was made in the State, and because in battle the soldiers of North Carolina stuck to their bloody work as if they had tar on their heels.

From what i've heard

it dates back to the 1700s when the Carolinas were known for shipbuilding. Tar was used to seal the bottom of the boats, hence those working on the boats would have Tar heels
