I was in Chattanooga last weekend. I want to live there. It's awesome.

Mascot: Mocs (Mockingbird)
The school's athletic teams are called the Mocs. The teams were nicknamed Moccasins until 1996. (The origin of the name is uncertain; however, Moccasin Bend is a large horseshoe-shaped bend in the Tennessee River directly below Lookout Mountain.)
The mascot has taken on four distinct forms, with a water moccasin being the mascot in the 1920s, and then a moccasin shoe (known as "The Shoe") was actually used as the school's mascot at times in the 1960s and 1970s. From the 1970s until 1996, the mascot was Chief Moccanooga, an exaggerated Cherokee tribesman.
In 1996, due to concerns over ethnic sensitivity,[29] the Moccasins name and image were dropped in favor of the shortened "Mocs" and an anthropomorphized northern mockingbird, in accordance with the state bird, named "Scrappy" dressed as a railroad engineer. The school's main athletic logo features Scrappy riding a train (a reference to Chattanooga's history as a major railroad hub and to the song "Chattanooga Choo Choo"). The mascot takes its name from former football coach A. C. "Scrappy" Moore.

Moved to BR from there in the early 80's.
Most of my family still lives in that area.
It is beautiful - read 4 distinct seasons. A little snow, not much humidity. Beautiful mountains.
At the same time, I wouldn't trade the people, culture, food, or Tigers for living there. Not even close. ??

So what the hell is it? I've not seen this level of ambiguity/identity crisis from college mascots, save Auburn...

Ditto that here!

From Baton Rouge, but lived in Chattanooga for nine years. Beautiful area, town is too touristy, but it was an ideal location, 1 1/2 hours from Nashville, Birmingham, Knoxville, and Atlanta. For SEC fan, there are a lot of games within driving distance. Smokies just up the road, too.
UTCs problem is that they have to compete with Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee fans. No one really gives a fig about UTC football. Even the students go to SEC games before a UTC game. Better the last few years, but when I arrived in Chattanooga, they had won one game in three years, or something like that.
Chattanooga was a nice place to live, and I would consider moving back for retirement if I didn't have to deal with the people there. Can't compare to the people in Louisiana.
