The VMI–Virginia Tech football rivalry is a now-defunct American college football rivalry between the VMI Keydets football team of the Virginia Military Institute and Hokies (then known as the "Fighting Gobblers") football team of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute (Virginia Tech).

The first VMI-VPI game

History

The two schools first met in 1894 and played annually from 1913–71, usually in Roanoke on Thanksgiving Day. Like the current rivalry between VMI and The Citadel, the match-up was referred to as the Military Classic of the South, due to the military heritage of both schools. Starting again in 1973, the teams would continue to play on a yearly basis, making multiple appearances together in the Tobacco Bowl (1974, 1976) and Oyster Bowl (1980, 1982, 1984). The 1984 Oyster Bowl would be the last time they played each other.

At the time the rivalry ended, Virginia Tech led the series 49–25–5,[1] At 79 games, it is the second-longest series for both the Hokies and the fourth-longest for the Keydets. The Virginia–Virginia Tech rivalry has emerged since the end of the VMI-VPI series as the dominant one in the state.
