Virginia Tech’s mascot, the HokieBird, is one of the final mascots left in the Capital One Bowl Mascot Challenge.
It started with 16 mascots from schools across the country. The HokieBird is now one of four mascots still in the playoffs with the winner being crowned the mascot of the year.
Right now, the HokieBird is trailing Rocky the Bull from South Florida (54% – 46%), but its still a close race and voting doesn’t close until Sunday at midnight
The winning school will be awarded a $20,000 scholarship toward its mascot program.
