Bad as hell
UConn? Chief Mocanooga(the former and not very PC mascot) is going to break his moccasin clad off in your second or third fiddle in the Big East asses. Better bring a sack lunch, Diane Taurasi and Geno with you. What bracket is Kentucky playing in???
Mean looking bird
Scrappy, the Mockingbird – University of Tennessee-Chattanooga Mocs – OK, let’s get this straight…the team’s nickname is the Mocs (it was Moccasins until 1996), and yet its mascot isn’t a moccasin – it is a mockingbird named Scrappy. There’s no point in using a moccasin as your mascot if your team name is moccasin, is there? And, to top it all off, UTC’s main logo has Scrappy riding a train (in reference to the Chattanooga Choo Choo). I’m getting a headache…

Jai,
The Moccasins had, very briefly, a moccasin (shoe) as the mascot. Early in the life of this mascot, students at a football game forcefully took the mascot, marched up the stadium steps, and threw it off the back of the stadium (w/o student inside).
The curse of Chief Moc-A-Nooga lives on!
