... (If we had played the Barn last night it probably would have been a loss.)

Thank heavens we played Miss St, last night. If we had played any other SEC team other than maybe Ky or Arky, we likely would have lost.

You boys need to BUCK UP.
What didn't happen didn't happen.  What will happen will happen (you may quote me  ).
We're going to shut down the nation's #1 rushing offense, shut down their mediocre, new-found passing game, and SHUT UP the Aubs and their talk of DESTINY.

DYNASTY TRUMPS DESTINY
Every time!

Que Sera Sera?

Actually, "Que Será, Será" wasn't original.

The Italians had it first: "Che Sarà, Sarà”.  Italians never get their deserved credit!

Au contraire.  The Brits lay claim to that expression.

We best be worrying about UTC before we get to Auburn.  I know, I know, lower level.  I believe they are 8-3.  Anybody else remember Louisiana Monroe?  If we have 2 fumbles and two picks next week the Auburn game may not matter!  ROLL TIDE!!!

They lost to Samford yesterday. HTH

Yeldon fumbled the ball away last night and it led to a TD for Miss St.  Drake fumbled the ball away giving Miss St the ball in Bama territory but didn't lead to points.   Yeldon fumbled the ball against aTm two years in a row.  And you don't trust Drake?

[hscoach]

Both players fumbled.  It is part of the game.  I have like Drake since last year and will continue to like him.  He hits the hole hard.  A lot of these fumbles are extra effort fumbles.

Yeldon carries the ball a lot more than Drake, in fact more than double.

Depends on the reference. I think they mean Moccasins, lille a Water Moccasin or the moccasins Indians wore. I bet it's the snake though, implies deadliness.

    The term “Moc” is short for “Mockingbird.” Mockingbirds are fiercely territorial creatures which protect their homes with courage, determination and skill. Those attributes reflect the intellect, spirit and character of UTC student-athletes and alumni. A Moc is a champion on the playing surface, in the classroom and, most importantly, in life.Click here for link

What is a Moc?
 
The Answer
     For more than a decade, this question has puzzled many fans and observers of Chattanooga Athletics.

      The UTC Athletics Department changed logos in 1997, moving away from Native American imagery to a package of logos using railroad images, the nickname “Mocs,” and the Scrappy mascot. The new package emphasized UTC’s connection to Chattanooga and the city’s railroad heritage and incorporated the Tennessee state bird.

      The term “Moc” is short for “Mockingbird.” Mockingbirds are fiercely territorial creatures which protect their homes with courage, determination and skill. Those attributes reflect the intellect, spirit and character of UTC student-athletes and alumni. A Moc is a champion on the playing surface, in the classroom and, most importantly, in life.
 
Scrappy
Named after legendary football coach A.C. “Scrappy” Moore, Scrappy, the Chattanooga mascot, is a fixture for the Mocs.  A re-design in 2008 puts Scrappy in the image of the State Bird of Tennessee, a Mockingbird.  The mockingbird is known as a fierce protector of its nest and environment. It is sometimes seen swooping down on a dog, cat or predator that may be venturing too close to the bird’s protected territory.   Once described by “Late Night” host Jimmy Fallon as “a sledge-hammer wielding mockingbird with a heart of Blue & Gold,” Scrappy symbolizes that competitive passion.
 
Why Mocs?
Faced with politically sensitive issues and in need of a stronger core identity to help establish a strong brand as Chattanooga’s Team, the athletics department embarked on a comprehensive identity program in 1996. A new direction for the athletics identity was determined, moving away from the politically incorrect Native American Indian imagery.
