Considering this is practically the total number of women matriculating at VPI...
Yeah, they do clean up well.
I just happy that not only am I not alone in calling the school VPI but I’m not the only one who knows and breaks out the full name every now and then.
Same
I refuse to call them Virginia Tech. When I say VPI and people go “who?” I’m like “I’m sorry, that’s not their real name. They’re really VPI&SU.”

I get the "Who?" a lot as well
It’s much like asking people if they know how many D-1 schools don’t have ‘University’ in their names. Most of those who claim to know college football, really don’t.
And in a moment of CYOA, I am in no way making any claims that I personally know college football inside and out, haha!
I get laughs when I use "VPI", but I'm old, as are the people I talk to
The “no university in the name” question works a lot better if you restrict it to Division 1-A (I also don’t use FBS and FCS), which yields just five. Otherwise you’d have to include several 1-AA colleges.
I just wish we could still call Auburn “Alabama Polytechnic Institute”, but they officially changed their name in 1960.
